I've got butterflies

It is funny how even though this is my fourth time to do this, I still get butterflies before I have a baby.

I am going to write up our whole experience with this pregnancy soon and I will post that.

I have to be at the hospital at 6:45 am today but I can not sleep. Please Pray that this labor goes quickly as I am sure to be tired from lack of sleep.

I will post pics of little Hannah soon.

Until then I will blog at you soon.

when will this stop?

going on 96 hours of contractions, they say it is prodromal labor, I looked this up and can last for weeks before the real deal happens. (it is labor with no dilation) either way i am getting induced on the 18th i will have a baby soon :)

Where I have been the last couple of days

Well Thursday night around 7 I started having contractions they were around 5 mins apart. By 10 they were around 3-4 min apart we went to the hospital around 10:45 and they hooked me up to the machine and checked me they were going in between 2-5 min and i was a tight 2. they told me to get up and walk for about 40 min. we did and they checked me again I was a loose 2 they told me to get up and walk for another 40 min and they were still every 2-4 min. and still a loose 2 but this time it did make me thin out some.

The nurse called my doc and he sent me home.

Even though this is my 4th baby I have been induced with everyone of them up till now and it really blew me away that I could be contracting every 2-4 min. and that they would send me home.

I contracted all day yesterday (Friday) they were around five min apart but were getting stronger then I had one hour that nothing happened and the next hour they were every 1 1/2 min. then they slowed down again to every 5 min. The nurse did say that she did not think that this was false labor just early labor.

But here it is Saturday and I am still uncomfortable and still contracting probably every 5-10 min. I can handle the pain I am just exhausted from the lack of sleep. I am ready to hold my little girl.

I have been praying that either they would stop all together and just let me wait 1 week and 3 days till my induce date or let them come on strong and get this done.

I am excited that I have had this experience and my husband feels more involved but geez lets do it or stop it. lol.

Hopefully I will be posting pics of little Hannah soon!

pics from Whataburger

Here are the pics of the kids sporting the orange for free burgers, we did not end up getting a pic of Nick and I but thats ok.

Free Dinner

So we went to whataburger for dinner because they had a special going on, "if you wore orange you get a free burger"

Well I am all about the free!! So we loaded up and all went I have pics but will have to post them tomorrow :( they are on my phone and the phone is dead so I have to charge it. I am also 2 weeks away from having little Hannah Faith and I am tired so I am going to bed!

Our Weekend

We have been very busy this weekend, yesterday we cleaned alot around here and I redid my home management binder (I post about this later) then we had to leave early for church (we use rent a sanctuary from an existing church so we meet on saturday nights for our church then the whole church normally goes out to eat altogether) because on the last saturdays of june, july and august instead of going out to eat altogether we all go to a nearby park and play and eat there. (This takes the place of our normal church park day normally on a sunday afternoon but it is way to hot right now to meet around 1 and enjoy yourselves, lol) We had to go early so we could help set up and cook the hotdogs at the park.

It was very hot, being even more insulated than normal, but it was so enjoyable. See our church is a family integrated church and the average number of kids in 1 family is around 8. Some have more all the way up to 13 kids and all the way down to newbies with 1 or pregnant now with their 1st. Well at the park one little girl (of course I knew her we all know everyone there) came up to me and asked me to look at her arm cause it hurt. Then another girl came and asked me if I would help put her straw in her juice pouch. This just warmed my heart! Not only because they view me in a mothering role but because this is how I think church should be a large family everyone helping everyone. Everyone looking out for everyone. In fact when we have a baby dedication in our church (and that is pretty often. lol) It is said that the church has a responsibility to help and raise this little one and this is the first church that actually listens and obeys that.

Today we went grocery shopping. Nick went with us, he has for a few months been going with just to help me push the cart and load the van because of how uncomfortable as i am (I am truly blessed to have him as a husband) We then went to the apple store to get the new iphone4 for nick came home and ate then played until dinner. I made tacos tonight and this was the first time Job had had tacos all by himself and he ate for a long time rice and beans and all the taco fixins he was just to cute!

Well I have been having braxton hicks contractions for awhile (a few months) and they are getting stronger and also being more consistant, I go to the doctor tomarrow so pray that they have been doing some good in there lol!

Until tomorrow, good night

Well i am finally back again, lol!

I think I have finally worked out my schedule to fit in blogging every day! Let me tell you I am very excited to be back. I have missed all of you wonderful followers and readers very much and I sincerely apologize for my absence.

Alot has been going on and I will fill you in over the next couple of days. So get ready for lots of stories and pictures!

The first and most important thing is that I am pregnant and due in about 2 weeks (man I have been gone from here for awhile).

I am really ready for this little one to come out, lol! We are having a girl and so just a reminder that will put us at 2 girls and 2 boys (and no we don't plan on stopping anytime soon unless God chooses to close my womb).
