32 weeks...

one week of bedrest down...two and a half more to go! things were a little rough for the first part of the week, but i'm so happy to say everything is much calmer now :) i'm only having contractions for the most part when i stand up, so as long as i'm lying down or reclining, everything's good. except for my back...ouch! i can handle that much better than contractions, though :)

this is pretty cool (not at the time--it was scary as crap) but now it's pretty cool. here's a pic of the contraction monitor from my L&D trip tuesday. the bottom waves are contrac.tions and the flat line toward the end of the strip is where they gave me terb.utaline to stop them. it's kinda freaky to feel them just stop all of a sudden!


anyway, this pro.cardia has been a blessing since we figured out that i needed it every 4 hours instead of every 6 to keep everything calm. seriously...miracle drug! friday was the first day i thought i might actually make it to term :)

i've been doing alot of online browsing for Chase's new room. i decided the easiest thing would be to go ahead and give the new baby the current nursery and make a new little boy's room with bunk beds for Chase. we're going to do a woodland owl theme--so cute! here are some pics of the bedding and decor:




and just because i'm not sure how many of these i'm going to be able to take, i wanted to remember what my belly looked like with my second sweet boy cuddled up :)

please excuse the bedrest attire. that's about as good as it gets lately, lol.
