Baby Nicholas is on his way...

I went to the doctor on Monday, October 15, only to be rushed out of the office with my chart to the hospital to have contractions monitored once again. After the two night extravaganza the week before, the contractions started again on the morning of the doctor appointment...8 minutes apart. This is weird to me seeing that I am already on a prescription to make the contractions "stop". So far, so good this week. I am trying to take it easy, but at this point, with 5 weeks to go, I kind of feel like if Nicholas is ready, I am ready. He dropped this weekend. I can tell because there is a definite slope to my belly. The round bump is so low now that I can barely sit down or hike a leg up to get in the car!!

Sleeping is a bit of a challenge lately. I was so tired last night that I thought I would be able to go to bed without the aid of the Ambien the doctor gave me to help me rest. WRONG!! I was peacefully sleeping for approximately 45 minutes, when Brian's screams of joy in the livingroom woke me up. While watching Game 7 of the Red Sox / Indians playoffs, our beloved team decided to bring it and show us what they are made of. So I just decided to get up and go enjoy this time with him. We do love those Red Sox! Thank goodness I don't have to get up early. Afterwards, I took the Ambien, and slept the rest of the night. Peacefully!

At last check, Nicholas weighed in at 5lbs 5oz. We don't have another ultrasound appointment until October 29, so hopefully then they will give us some insight on an early delivery date. That's what I am hoping for anyway. Who knows, maybe with the full moon this week...hmmmmm.
