31 weeks

I am now nearing my 32nd week of pregnancy. Hard to believe. The time has flown. I feel so unprepared, but when I stop and think, there is really nothing more that needs to be completed to be ready.

We found out around 19 weeks that we are expecting a baby boy!! After much contemplation we finally decided on a name...Nikolas. It took us a lot longer to figure out a boy name than a girl name.

This pregnancy, up until 30weeks was GREAT!! No problems at all, I was feeling great, baby was doing amazingly! Then at 30weeks I started having contractions and made my first trip to labor and delivery. I made it 3 weeks longer than last time, which made me feel great. So I am now out of work and on medication (nifedipine) to stop the contractions and keep baby Nikolas in until at least 36 weeks...once I reach 36 weeks they won't do anything to stop labor should it start.

At my last check up, my cervix was soft, but closed. Nikolas was measuring right on target at 3lbs 7oz...that was a 1lb 6oz gain from our prior ultrasound 4 weeks before. Also, he is head down!! I am now having weekly doctors appointments, since I'm on medication to stop labor.

Guess that is all for now.
