Well, sweet Tiger you are still up to your tricks again! Tiger's most recent tricks are causing me more contractions ON the meds that should stop them. These being said I kind of had a small melt down moment about this sweet baby coming. Thankfully I have an amazing family and sister who talked me off the ledge.
All the fun began on Saturday when I was feeling contractions even after taking my morning medicine. Sad thing is I can only take this medicine every 6 hours so I have to wait it out until I can re dose. Of course I was trying to ignore the issue at hand and just rest. Thankfully it was the weekend and Miss H had her sweet daddy to play with. I spent the morning in bed just hanging out drinking my water and such. Come the afternoon I finally could redoes myself and did quickly! That helped for about 3 hours then the contractions began again. Of course they were not "unbearable" as the past 2 pre labor times!
Of course after chatting with my sister I placed a call to the after hour doctor…we had a small discussion and came to the normal conclusion more than 6 "unbearable" contractions in an hour go in to the hospital. Thankfully they stopped at about 4, or so I counted anyways.
Needless to say after all the fun my sweet sister offered to take Miss H for the week so that I could truly be on bed rest hoping to keep the contractions down. I of course hate to send Miss H away because I will miss her and don't want her to feel ditched before the baby. Also I feel bad for my sister who has 4 kiddos on her own (11,7,2, and 5 months) in a small living space (they are renting as they build). But I do want sweet Tiger to cook as long as possible since I am only 36 weeks. 37 weeks is so much better than 36 and that is the main goal healthy baby!!
Therefore Sunday Chris and I loaded Miss H up and met my sister at our 1/2 way spot. H was so excited about going to play with her cousins she couldn't stand it. She pretty much gave Chris and I a hug and kiss then kicked us out of the door :-) I am so thankful she is excited and that my sweet sister is willing to add to her crazy life. This week Tiger and I have just been laying in bed everyday!

Let me tell ya laying in bed isn't that easy all day everyday! I have caught up on most of my shows and now am catching up on blog life…ha So until Friday my goal is keeping tiger in while Miss H is out enjoying her Tigercation at Queen Tia's house! Here's to 2 more days of hoping Tiger stays in and feeling much better about his/her arrival after that. Plus my sweet mom is coming to help out for the next week :-) love my family
