36 weeks and 1 day!

That's right I made it to 36 weeks!
I think I owe you all an update, I was hoping to have pictures but those will have to come later.
34 weeks I went to my appointment and I had been having lots of back pain and cramping. I was really trying to just tough it out but this is all I ever really felt with Hunter until a few hours before his arrival so I was a bit nervous. With Chase being out of town and me home with Hunter the Doctor decided it would be good to check me a week early. Guess what? I was dilated and starting to efface now granted this can mean nothing or it can mean babies coming. The doctor decided to play it safe, she had Chase come home and stay home and put me on moderate bed rest. This means no taking care of Hunter, no shopping, and sitting or laying in bed as much as possible. Chase did a great job taking the reins and taking care of little man. It amazes me how much those 2 have bonded in the last couple of weeks. They are thicker then thick! Hunter now crys for Daddy and not Mommy. It tugs at my heart strings and I am so happy for the two of them!!
I have had lots of contractions in the past week. Friday I was almost convinced this was our time. The contractions were 4-6 minutes apart for 2 and half hours but when I relaxed enough to fall asleep they too went away. So now we play the waiting and guessing game. Will I be as stuffed as a turkey on Thanksgiving? No one knows but we are thankful for every day this little turkey bird stays cooking.
My next appointment is with the nurse practitioner tomorrow it will be interesting to see how much progress I have made at this point it looks like I'll just be able to walk in the hospital give a push and here he is. Lol don't we all wish. Stay tuned for more updates, pictures and Holiday fun!
