False alarm

So last night was pretty eventful! Jordan and I were trying a few things to get me to go into labor... and all of a sudden we totally thought my water broke!! I called Amy (because she knows everything and always has the best advice) and she said to wait an hour and see if my contractions got more intense and then go to the hospital. So we tried to wait a bit but we were so anxious and we wanted to find out if it was really my water that broke!

So we packed our bags and drove to the hospital :] This was around midnight. Luckily it is only like 3 minutes away from our house! We got all checked in and the nurse came in to check me and see if it my water broke. I was pretty dang excited waiting for her to come in :]

So our nurse came in and she had a test strip to see if there was amniotic fluid in me. Unfortunately there wasn't any :[ She checked my cervix and I was still only 80% effaced and dilated to a 1. I was seriously so bummed. Since I was having contractions still, she told us we needed to stay for an hour so she could monitor me just in case I progressed. Needless to say we were not too excited and we were getting tired...

We stayed for the hour and she checked me again. Nope, no progression. We went home a little disappointed and extremely tired around 1:30. I've continued to have contractions all day, but they aren't consistent or regular at all :/ Hopefully things will start to progress more soon!! 

I went to water aerobics today probably for the last time and it felt so good! It is amazing to have the weight of my belly taken off for like an hour in the water. I would definitely recommend water aerobics during pregnancy for any who are considering it :] BEST FEELING EVER!

Baby, GET OUT!

So I am officially 10 days away from my due date :] I never thought this time would finally come! I went to the doctor yesterday and had a little check up. I have progressed from last week, although slower than I had hoped. I have gone from being 20% effaced to 80% effaced and the baby moved down from a -2 to a -1 so things are going good there. I am still only dilated to a 1, but the Dr said that I have to efface before I dilate so its all good and things are moving along as they should.

Jordan and I are getting a little impatient... Well mostly me, but Jordan is excited for the baby to get here too :] So last night we went to the indoor track at BYU and walked around for about an hour. It is a little depressing going from the brand new amazing indoor track at BYU-I to the hot and stinky one here...

My original thought was that it was way too cold to be walking outside at night and so the track would be perfect! It might have been okay if I had thought about what I was wearing before we went. I wore a long sleeve shirt and long pants and I was FRYING!! So we ended up going outside and taking a little hike up the RB stairs :] Now that definitely started some contractions!!

We went home that night and the contractions continued for a couple hours, but they weren't very regular and they started to fade out. I never thought I would be so excited for pain to come, but I can't wait! I just want to meet our little man and see what he looks like :] As Deagan would say, "Baby, GET OUT!" 

Cozy snow day in Provo

The weather this week has been so crazy! I guess that is pretty typical for living in Utah... earlier this week it was sunny and I swear it was like 70 degrees for a couple days! 

Today I woke up and it was raining. The rain soon turned to snow. It snowed and it snowed and it snowed!!! By the end of the day there were probably like 6 inches on the grass in our courtyard! I was in a cozy mood so I made some hot chocolate with Jordan and we watched the cute kids playing outside in the snow :] 

We LOVE hot chocolate and cozy snow days! Oh and here is my huge 38 week belly! 

Jordan walked in on me taking off my boots the other day and he was dying laughing. Its getting a little rough getting my boots off with this dang belly. Can't wait for this baby to get here :]
