Maybe Baby
I have never felt pain like this before. Tim, our midwife and I are all in agreement that it is time to get checked. We're going to go in and meet her at the office and see how things are before deciding if it is time to check in at the hospital.
Just FYI. -
Still Cookin'
At the hospital they were able to stop preterm labor with medication. We have to wait 18 days until he is full term to have him, so I'm on bedrest and I have medication to stop contractions should they start again. -
early first stage
I believe this is called early first stage labor. I woke up with contractions - my entire stomach hardening and tightening with each squeeze. And then I was famished. And then I had diarrhea. I'm going to try to go back to sleep now, see if I can get some snoozing action done. Because if this isn't early first stage, I'll have to be at work in ( Read more... ) -

The hotel will have a doggie bed and doggie bowl ready in the room when we arrive, and having her there with ( Read more... ) -
I Love Baby
Yesterday was Tim's birthday and we were able to see the baby, hear the baby's heartbeat and see the flicker of the baby's heartbeat. We also saw little arms and legs.

It was such an overwhelming moment, I loved every second and I can't wait ( Read more... ) -
7 weeks
Tomorrow we will be 7 weeks. I have started napping in my car instead of having lunch. I snack during the day, so it's ok. The smell of coffee sends me reeling. Tim is a pain in the butt sometimes. He doesn't understand the hormone side of it. He is trying, though. He is working a lot of overtime. We are going to our first appointment next week at ( Read more... )
