Trip to hospital

Yeah so Juliette is going to be a handful, she already is playing tricks on me. Last night we went over our friends house and got home around 8:30 and I was getting not actual pains but a feeling like she was rolling up in a ball, usually she does that a few times a day but last night it was 15-20 times in like 2 hours. I figured there is no way that is her doing that that often. About 10:30 we were lying in bed and I asked Justin does it feel like my whole stomache is hard or just the 1 side she lays on, he said the whole thing and it happened like every 2 minutes. We decided to call the doctor just to see what they had to say. I explained everything to her and she told me to come on in. I get there and they check me and to my total surprise one doctor had me at 3cm and one had me at 4cm. They gave me IV fluids in case I was dehydrated and a pill to stop the contractions that are actually starting to annoy me, not in an ouch kind of way but a "this is uncomfortable" way.
This continued until 4am and then everything just petered out. I had to take another one of those pills at 6am. They checked me at 8:30am still dilated the same so I was sent home. If all this would have happened Monday they wouldn't have stopped it at all.

I still have my doctors appt monday so we will see if there is any new changes.

34 weeks

So we went to the doctor again yesterday, she didn't manually check the cervix but on the ultrasound it is still getting shorter, 8mm from the danger zone.
Had a dream the other night that when she was born she was hideous, we know that's not going to happen though.
Well we have her car seat all together (the straps were a nightmare) it's completely pink, changed my mind again on her going home outfit. I'm keeping it at this one though.
So we are all set, have everything we need now. she just needs to get here because no one can wait anymore. Grandma Shells is making her own nursery at her house so she's shopping and getting prepared like we are. I literally have nothing left to do except wash all her clothes, she has 4 times the amount of clothes I do.

Hopefully I have something exciting to say about next weeks appointment Monday!

32 Weeks

It was so hot here yesterday I wanted to die! This was the first time all summer that this has happened.

Went to the doctor yesterday, ultrasound revealed that compared to 2 weeks ago my cervix is half as long as it used to be. It's not so much the change they are worried about but the rapidness. I go back monday for the Fetal Fibronectin test, last 3 have been negative but...hmmm well I don't know I think this one might be negative too but not the one after, just my prediction.

Juliette is collecting quite the wardrobe, everything is pink, not kidding I think there are maybe 2 items in her closet that aren't pink. Her hospital bag is packed, not that she needs much but I've changed my mind 3 times on what she's wearing home.

Well we will see what the doctor says monday when I go back, I didn't see my regular doctor this time and this woman was a dingbat and we didn't like her. My doctor will be much more informative.
