Made it

Well I made it 34 weeks. It looks like it's a miracle that I'm still pregnant. I'm 3.5 cm dialated, 90% effaced and basically the baby's head is right there. And contracting all the time. So Basicly I'm a ticking time bomb but I could go another week. If I'm anymore dialated next week they said they will just send me to the hospital. Luckily I get to deliver here now and the likely hood of my baby being fine are very good. I really am so glad to have made it at least to 34 weeks!

almost 34 weeks

I hope tomorrow to post a picture but I wanted to do a little post while I had a moment. I'm so very excited to be at 34 weeks tomorrow. I feel like I'll be able to let out a big sigh of relief. While of course I'd love to stay pregnant for another week or two I feel like getting to 34 weeks is huge! Two of the providers I've seen in that last two weeks each told me seperately that they thought I probably wouldn't stay pregnant for very many more weeks. So I kinda feel like I might be in ending stretch. (Even 2 more weeks is not very far away) My last ultrasound showed a cervical length of 1.5 cm my smallest number to date. I go back in tomorrow. Although my last FFN test done at 32 was negative so that was a very good thing for me. It means I should not deliver for at least 2 more weeks from the date done. I do really at least want to make it to Wednesday! My mom has her last day of school that day and they will have the results of my Strep B test in by then also. I really don't like taking antibiotics unnecessarily. I've been on modified bed rest or low activity orders for 5 weeks now and it has had it's up and downs. I'm so grateful to friends, family, and our wonderful ward for making it much easier. Even little phone calls, texts, and messages on FB have been so uplifting. My hubby has even done some coupon shopping for me!
I've also been wanted to document of few little fun pregnancy things. My favorite things that I've been craving are Chile Cheese fries from Sonic, Powerade, Shamrock Vanilla Milk (only at albertsons), Baskin Robbins Peanut butter and Chocolate Ice cream, and of course chocolate in general. Almost every single night I have a bowl of cereal and goodness how the heart burn has been wicked! (Same as the other two) I remember with Troy loving Chocolate cover strawberries and pickles. With Hailey i remember a lot of chocolate in general usually with a glass of milk.
I feel pretty uncertain of the baby's gender. I go back and forth all the time of what I think it will be. I'm definitely in suspense. I have a little bag with some of both items to take to the hospital so that I feel prepared. (I felt totally unprepared for Troy, didn't even have a outfit or blankets to take him home in.) I'm getting very excited for that surprise!

Updates

Katie and Joe came by for a quick visit on there way to look for a House. We are so excited to have them live a little closer. I was a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed each other pretty well. Julia and I got to be new best buds. She is a blast to talk to! I wanted to get a picture of all the cousins together but we didn't really get that coodinated. I really do wish I was better at taking pictures, I didn't really get a good one of Troy or Julia, and Harmon came over for a bit and I didn't get any of him but he did have a blast with all the cousins! It was a fun weekend!

Cousins and sisters-in-law! Does it get any better?
Last time we took a picture like this she was pregnant and I was not.
Smores by the fire, Hailey just loved loved loved this!
Hailey and Nathan playing. These two are so fun together! They have a ton of fun!

This is brand new baby Emma Leigh Kohler. Born on May 3rd, 2011. Even for being almost 2 weeks past her due date she was exactly 7lbs. Perfect size!
I also forgot to mention that about mid-April Kalli gave her home coming talk and lots of family came to visit. The Bluths, Cassi and Daphne, Grandma Hakes and Grandpa McCuistion all came for the weekend. Hailey and David had a lot of fun together. He was a little like a big brother to her, looking out for her and they had a lot of fun.

Here is Hailey with the other girl cousins, Cora and Daphne.

Still Pregnant

Here is a picture of me at 30 weeks. I've been meaning to update my blog for that long. I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow. I'm very excited to be at that mile stone and I'm really hoping to go at least 2 more weeks. This last week I feel like I've been contracting a little more despite sitting around doing nothing but my FFN tests have all be negative so far so that is huge. Also at 31 weeks my cervical length had gone down a little to 1.9. I go back in on Tuesday and will be getting another FFN test done along with an ultrasound. We are hoping for the best! Here's to 2 more weeks!

Easter

I felt very blessed to be at home with my kids and husband and Family on Easter! I've been nervous that at any point in time they might put me on Hospital bed rest. We had a little egg hunt and of course the Easter bunny came. And my parents came over and brought dinner! It was so Yummy. Karl was also there but Leslie didn't make it she wasn't feeling the best.
