34 weeks - Woo Hoo!

We are about 5 hours from making it to 34 weeks! Yay! This was goal #1 for us! We're excited that Peanut stayed put until now! I'm optimistic we'll make it at least another 2 weeks.

On Monday night, I was having lots of tightness. It was pretty frequent for about 2 - 2 and a half hours. It finally faded, but then started back up mid-morning on Tuesday. I ended up going to the doctor just to make sure we weren't in for a surprise! They determined it probably is contractions. But, they are hoping they will not cause me to go into labor with the medicine I'm on. Basically, the medicine will hopefully keep them mild enough to prevent labor. I was still measuring the same as our appointment in Omaha so that was great news! Dr. Lo also commented that he thinks the increased fluid led him to think the baby was on the bigger side. He now thinks we'll have an average size baby. Thank goodness for that! We will go back to see him on Thursday, 6/17. Overall, I'm feeling decent. The medicine is really causing some nasty swelling in my feet and ankles. It makes me feel pretty crappy for about 2-3 hours after taking it (every 6 hours), but we're surviving!! I'll be curious to see when I can stop taking it!!

More great news - Angie & Jared (Angie has been a great friend as long as I can remember) were blessed with a precious little girl last night at 9:55 pm! Hadley Dawn Eichholz weighed 7 pounds, 1 oz and was 18.5 inches long!! I've seen 2 pictures now and she seriously is just perfect!! We're so very happy for them!! Angie had to have a c-section so we definitely hope she recovers well from that!! Once again, I just want to hop in my car and drive to see these babies, but know I can't...yet!

Mom and Dad Frerking are coming up this weekend - VERY excited to see them!! I obviously won't be tons of entertainment for them, but it will be great just to relax and visit! Wish them safe travels!!

Everyone take care!! Kari
