33 1/2 weeks

So........ Over the weekend I had some contractions. About 30 minutes apart for about 7 hours. No biggie. But the back pain.................. UG!!!! The back pain continued through the whole weekend, so I called the dr on Monday. Bedrest for 2 days, do not return to work until Wednesday. BOO!!!
So, to the bed (well recliner) I went . And in all honesty, stayed there for the most part. Took some naps, read some books, watched some movies.
Tuesday I had to go to the dr for my blood pressure check. My blood pressure was down!!! 120/60!!! Dr Stephen was very excited and decided that the bedrest was the answer, so he cut my work week down to 3 days a week.
Some surprising news was that I had lost 3 pounds in a week (very surprising considering the amount of Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs I had been eating!!!) and I was all of a sudden measuring 2 weeks ahead! So, I am measuring at 35 instead of 33. So, even though I was only there for a blood pressure check, I had to have a full exam.
At this time I was not dilated at all. But he said that could change at any moment. So, Zoey is not going to be waiting until June!!
We are kind of hoping that May 14th is the day. :) Mike's birthday (Levette's dad) is the 12th, my dad's is the 13th. And my "grandparents" from Georgia will be here that weekend, so they would get to be here for her birth. My Pops had a stroke about a year ago and isn't able to travel much anymore. His birthday is the 15th. So, it would be cool for her to come then.
We are very excited about it. The time is getting nearer. :) I cant wait to post that SHE IS HERE!!!! Keep us in your prayers!!! Lots of love to everyone!
