Due Date

Well Baby Bee is quite a tease.  This morning I was awakened with some pain.  I went down stairs to use the restroom and realized I was having contractions.  I called my Dr. and mentioned pain along with bleeding and he said to wait it out and call when they were regular.

Well, they were regular for a couple hours, but not labor contractions.  Just my body practicing.  At my Dr. 's appointment there were no signs of  immediate labor.  No dilation.  So we made an appointment for Monday. 

I have continued to have contractions throughout the day and have been trying to rest as my amniotic fluid is low again.  The pain is stronger than the morning, but I hear I have more pain to look forward to when I am experiencing labor contractions!  Oh my!

So maybe tomorrow, maybe Monday, maybe in a week.  Lord give us patience!

Waiting for Baby Bee

Saturday Mom, Krista and Drew were in cleaning and organizing mode.  We appreciated them coming over and helping set our minds at ease.  Rooms were cleaned and scrubbed and items put together for Baby Bee!  Mom was there all day and we had to drag her away to eat dinner!  Drew and Krista came straight from Las Vegas.  It was quite a party!

Mom and Krista were cleaning machines.  Magic erasers were flying and I believe a toothbrush even came out!

Drew put together many baby essentials!  He got the car seats in and cleaned for Baby Bee.

Sunday Alan and Dean installed a ceiling fan in the Master bedroom to give us some light and circulation.  I am so glad this is done as it took me forever to commit to a fan!  Catherine grilled us a yummy steak dinner and refused to let me work!  I could get used to this!

Monday came the 4th.  We had another stress test and passed with flying colors.  We went to the Roberts for a BBQ, went swimming (yes I braved the pool) and then walked to the beach to watch the fireworks.  My Dad kept a fast pace, but Baby Bee and I kept up!   I thought if walking is supposed to help then this is a test!


NOT PICTURED:  Tuesday Krista and I ran and errand, saw a movie and got pedicures!  Wonderful!  The Roberts also made us dinner and we played a game.  Clearly pregnancy is getting to me because I lost big time!

Wednesday was lunch with Tootsie Pop, Stephanos and my sisters.  Amelia saw me and said my belly was bigger.  This is true!  Can you tell who took the picture below?  Amelia has become quite the photographer!

After lunch I returned a few things and made it for my emergency dentist appointment.  Yes, the day before I chipped a tooth and it was so sharp it would cut my tongue when I talked!  Luckily I found a great dentist to help me on short notice!  After I decided to beat the heat and go to a movie.  I took my girl to a girlie movie:  Monte Carlo.  Pure fluff, but air conditioned and relaxing!  I don't think many movies by myself are in my near future!
