Well for those of you who don't know, I ended up in the hospital again:( On July 2nd I w0ke up with contractions every 3 minutes so we went in.. They ended up giving me an IV and Nifedipine which is used to stop contractions. Once they were almost gone, they let me go home.. I was to be on the medicine and continue bedrest till 34 weeks. Which brings us to tomorrow.. I AM OFF BEDREST!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe I have made it this far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today was my first day taking care of Ava on my own and I drove myself to the dr! Wow.. this feel amazing! I am a little sore and stiff considering I really have done nothing in the last 12 weeks. But as for the baby..,whenever she decides to arrive is fine now.. I had an u/s last week and she was 4 pounds 7 oz and in the 50%, which is perfect! I stop taking my medicine tonight, so we will see if the contractions start up again.
I think Drew, Ava and I might make our way home next week. I think we should start getting our stuff together for the baby. We are soooo grateful to everyone who has helped us through0ut this hard time. My parents have been absolutely amazing in letting us stay here for the last 11 weeks and it has been so much fun! We have had fun with my sister and her kids, Jenny and Reese came and watched us, Julie came out and stayed for a week while my parents were in Hawaii, my parents neighbor Mrs. Bares helped a couple times while I was in the hospital and Amy came to watch us too. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Well that is all for now, I promise pictures will come soon!
Oh and the best news... Ava had finally decided to walk:) She is so proud of herself. She realizes it is still faster to crawl but we are getting there!
