I'm alive...I promise!

I know I have been a hard person to get ahold of...and I'm sorrrrry!!! I haven't felt like talking on the phone or skype let alone doing much of anything.

On Sunday I started out the morning feeling "weird" I don't have any other way to explain it. Presley and I layed down for a nap around 12. I woke up around 2:30 and I was having serious contractions and back pains. It felt like I had to go to the bathroom but I couldn't (sorry TMI). I tried everything from taking tylenol, getting in a hot bath, laying down, standing up, walking around, laying on the ground in the fetal position but NOTHING was working. I finally had Lucy take me to L&D at 4:30 because I was actually just feeling so miserable! Everything was looking good baby boys heart rate was normal, all my stats were normal, urinalisys came back normal, but I was having some contractions like one on top of the other...the doctors are not exactly sure why but they did an exam just to make sure I wasn't dilating (and I wasn't) so they just kept me for a while for observations...they sent me away for two hours and told me to come back...when I came back they checked me again and basically no changes so they said there really isn't anything they could do for me but that I needed to go home and rest. And that is exactly what we did on Monday; sleep, eat, and watch TV.

I'm feeling better today, i've only had a few contractions, but luckily nothing like Sunday! This little monster man is keeping me on my toes...Although I went through the same thing with Presley at 25 weeks but at that point they actually had to stop labor...hopefully we don't get there with little man and he just waits another 12 weeks on his own!!!!

Thanks to the Luna's for helping us out and hanging around while we were waiting!! And keeping my little monkey company! And everyone else that was worried about me, we are doing fine:)
