SOON!

Here are a few pictures of me in all my pregnant glory. HaHa! I have never let anyone take pictures of me while I have been pregnant, but since this is the last time I will ever be pregnant, I figured I would let it happen. Theses pictures were taken today at my Mom and Dad's house and hopefully in a week or two from this very day, I will be holding our third child.


This is my sister Aaron's daughter Kellyn.

This is my sister Sarah's daughter Kambell.

And this is me and our third child. Maybe I am having a basketball! Only one more week to go!


So, I have had a few pregnancy wows the last few weeks. It all started around 30 weeks, when I started having premature contractions. When I went to the Doctor, we found that I was dilated to a 2, so he sent me to a specialist. While there, we learned that I was having contractions every 5-7 minutes. I was placed in the hospital for a while in order to get the contractions under control, and then sent home on multiple medications. I have to see the specialist every week, and my OB every other week, which is tiring, but worth it if it means having a healthy baby Boy/Girl. I see the specialist again in the morning, and there we will do another ultrasound and non-stress test to see how the baby is reacting to the contractions, which by the way I am having more often. So, after tomorrow, he will schedule an amniocentesis, and if the baby's lungs arm mature, he is going to take me off the medications and just let the baby come, which means probably around my birthday, March 6th. I cannot wait to find out what we are having, and to meet my sweet baby!
