The little stinker decided he was ready to come out yesterday and sent me to the hospital again with contractions every 6-7 minutes. They gave me I.V. fluids, and another shot of terbutaline (that crap smarts when it is going in). The contractions slowed and they sent me on my way with oral terbutaline. I am impatient to meet him, but he is WAY more impatient than me:)
He is obviously getting larger because his movements hurt even more...but, I still love it when he does move because it means he is healthy.

Nate and I got some pretty cool stuff for the baby. In the mail today I received a package from my Aunt Bonnie (my baby's Great Aunt). It contained a blanket she made (sweedish woven, and obviously beautiful), a baby bag made my Great Aunt Kay (the baby's Great Great Aunt), and a sweater and HUGE Christmas stocking made by my Grandma Holmes (the baby's Great Grandma) who has already passed away. The most perfect gift! I love every bit of it and my Aunt Bonnie WILL be receiving pictures of all items being used.

Wow, I am pooped today. I worked all day yesterday, and am paying for it today. Last night I think the baby was constantly moving...it still makes me happy though:) I will just have to take a nap today. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night to feel what I think was his fist poking under the skin of my belly. His fragile little fist...I can't wait to put my finger inside that little fist with those adorable fingers for him to squeeze it.

I have another doctor's appointment tomorrow, we are finally starting to reach the end of the pregnancy. I am getting really excited for him to be here, though hopefully not too soon. I want him to be healthy.
