Bibs

I had some extra fabric from the crib bedding that I made so I decided to make these cute bibs! Here is a link to the tutorial if you are interested in making your own. I thought they were pretty quick and easy to make, the backs are made out of terry cloth, and I used buttons instead of snaps for the closures. Oh, I also wanted to share the to the tutorial I used to make the crib bedding, so the bumpers are Here, and the crib blanket is here. I kinda made up the crib skirt. Anyways, I really like the website I got these patterns from because not only are they free, but they have a ton of cute patterns for all kinds of things!

A little too early...

This past Sunday, I was having contractions 2 minutes apart that wouldn't stop, so I called the hospital and they said to come in. They hooked me up to these monitors, one for the baby's heart rate and one to monitor the contractions. They gave me a shot in the arm that is supposed to stop the contractions, which it did stop them for a little bit, but they came back. Next, they gave me a shot in the thigh that was some sort of muscle relaxant that was supposed to help them stop, it didn't work. Then, they gave me another shot the same as the first, again it worked for a little while and they wore off and the contractions were coming back. So, they ended up releasing me after being there for six hours because there was no cervical change, so the contractions werent putting me into labor. Anyways, they eventually went away sometime during the night while I was sleeping, but it was crazy...and I HATE shots, and now I have a new found hate...getting your cervix checked...OUCH! But, I'm glad the contractions went away because 28 weeks is too early to have our baby! Plus, I am flying to Utah on Monday! Here is a horrible cellphone picture Branden took of me in the hospital, cute huh....NOT! And those bands make my belly look huge, it really isn't that big!

27 Weeks!

WOW. - that's all I have to say about that.

I can't believe I am 27 weeks pregnant! It seems to be going by pretty fast now, I had another appointment today, its been almost 6 weeks since my last one and I have gained 6 pounds since then for a grand total of about 9-10 pounds total weight gain so far, with a 35" tummy circumference. I also took the glucose test this week which wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, and the results turned out just fine. The baby's heart rate was 143, and man I think he is growing fast now! He sure does move around and kick alot! Symptoms I am still dealing with is my constant sciatic pain which most nights prevents me from sleeping well--they gave me a belly support band today which is supposed to help...we'll see. Also, the whole pregnancy I haven't been able to be the passenger in a car, I have to be the one driving or I get nauseous...annoying. One more thing, my whole tummy hurts-like it is stretching all my ligaments to the max, this only happens sometimes. But overall I really don't think I have had it bad at all, I feel pretty good most of the time.

Anyways, I am so excited to come to Utah in a little over a week!! I just wish Branden could come too, he has to stay and do training in the cold...poor guy :(
