not yet Izzy!

So on Thursday we went in for another blood pressure check for me, were sent down for a stress test for the baby- and surprise!...found out I was contracting every 1-2 minutes. They promptly sent us upstairs for admission into Labor and Delivery where we spent the day and night while I was given liquids, monitored, and ultimately started some medicine to help the contractions ease in attempts to prevent the onset of labor. A sonogram revealed that Izzy is estimated to be about 5 and a half pounds already and they are thus are moving my due date up to June 14th making it 35 weeks along today. The sonogram also showed that I have excess amniotic fluid which they believe is causing the contractions. The nurses in the hospital said that I must be having a boy if the baby is already giving me trouble. I told them it's actually a girl- but with a dad like graham it's not a surprise. =) hehe. It was a long day and night and we went home very happy to be in our own house and sleeping in our own bed! I happened to have my camera in the hospital because I had taken it to work for my baby shower that my coworkers were throwing for me--that I missed due to the ordeal- so we thought we'd get a snap of the "trial run" trip to the labor room. I'm now on bed rest and at home and will take the meds for 10 days until they feel that it would be fine for labor to continue and safe for her to be born. At that time we'll see if she decides to come or if she waits it out! Graham was by my side which helped alot and my friends have been great! I will continue to work from home doing projects that I can which will be super helpful. And I got some practice in with my relaxation techniques in the labor room!
