36 weeks and almost there!!

The week started out with a Monday late night trip to Labor & Delivery after throwing up a few times and not feeling so great. We thought we'd make sure everything was ok, so we got all hooked up and sure enough nice, steady contractions a minute or so apart. I got the usual look of confusion from the nurse when she asked if I could feel them and I said "Nope!" They monitored me for about an hour and called my Dr. who graciously let me go home and follow up with him the next day if I was still sick. He figured it was the throwing up and being a little dehydrated that caused the contractions. I had an NST appointment at the Perinatolgist the next morning and the contractions had stopped, but baby's heartrate was higher than they liked so I drank some water & it came back down. I still didn't feel great so we went to see Dr. Lunt. He said anytime this week baby Camrie should make her debut. I knew this would happen just when he said I could go back to work!! Oh well how can one argue with 4 months of staying home and still getting a paycheck?? Braxton is so excited & told his teacher on Tues that if he wasn't at pre-school on Wed that meant that his baby sister was here. Well, I let him stay home with me today and teacher Kim was shocked to see me at pre-school graduation tonight still pregnant. A big shout out to Nick and Paige who have been so great to watch the boys while we have run into the hospital. We are so thankful to have them as friends and neighbors - as always, we "owe them big-time!"
