34 weeks

    34 weeks started out very interesting. I went to my normal doctors appointment and came home on modified bed rest with no work for two weeks! eek!! I told the doctor that I had been having some random contractions, as many as 3-5 an hour with an increase after working and lots of heavy pressure from Charlotte being so low. His response was to check my cervix to see where we are. And to my surprise and his I am 1.5-2 cm dilated. That isn't that far since I have to get to 10 cm to deliver Charlotte but seeing that I am still only 34 weeks he was not wanting me to work anymore. So I am off work for at least 2 weeks. I am to stay off my feet as much as possible and rest and relax a lot.
    So I went home and have been doing just that for the last 3 days. My husband has really been such an amazing help. He is for sure husband of the year! He doesn't want me to do anything that may set me into labor. He was laid off his job 3 weeks ago and I know that everything happens for a reason and maybe this was the reason, to help me grow Charlotte for a few more weeks. I am so blessed to have him!!!
    The doctor also said he won't stop my labor after I turn 35 weeks, this Sunday! Oh my that is really soon! I know better than anyone she needs more cooking time! I am gonna do all I can to keep her baking for at least 2 more weeks. But I also know that my body and Charlotte are on their own time frame and will come when she is ready. I just really really hope that they dads can get here in time! I really want them to be able to experience this amazing time!
    Since the doctor appointment all has been well. Still having some random contractions but really have died down since I stopped working and doing much. I have had some trouble sleeping but am feeling rested and I can tell that has helped my body settle in, hopefully for another 2-3 weeks.
Fingers and legs crossed!
