The one where I catch up...

Hey, y'all!  Have you missed me?  I've missed sharing our craziness with you!  Since I don't even remember the last time I posted, we'll just start at the beginning...well, kinda.  So, yup, I'm still pregnant.  I have really enjoyed this new journey in our lives.  I have been beyond fortunate in my pregnancy.  No morning sickness, or really anything out of the ordinary...some days it was hard to believe I was pregnant, other then my big fat belly!  We have had a couple of bouts of preterm labor, and a couple round of terbutaline, but I'm thankful for making it as far as we have.  I've been having non stress tests for about 4 weeks now, originally ordered due to a gestational diabetes diagnosis (which turned out to be wrong).  At my last ultrasound on Aug 29th, Aidan was measuring at 6lbs 3oz!  I'm kinda petrified about how big he will measure on Monday.

So, here we are...I'm 37 weeks today.  I've been in 'early labor' since late Wednesday night.  I've been checked, and rechecked...and I'm totally stalled.  I will be allowed to continue laboring, as everyone is pretty much in agreement that Aidan is ahead of what my due date says, and that he is ready.  So for now, even though I'm contracting VERY consistently, I'm not making any progress, and they won't do anything at this point to speed up labor.  I'm scheduled for another ultrasound on Monday, non stress test on Wednesday and a regular OB appointment on Friday...I'm really kinda hoping not to make it to any/all of said appointments.  Being only 4'11" Aidan is pretty much taking up my entire abdomen, and at times his movements REALLY hurt!

That's about all I got right now...There's a ton more to share, but for now, I'm going to go walk, or pace, or something!

I'll let y'all know when Aidan gets here :)
