Thursday was uneventful and Friday I head down to Tucson with my mom and Jack. The 4 hour drive went by fairly quickly and Jack was awesome (thank you sooo much buddy!). We check into our room at Westward Look (love it there!!!) and then we head off to Park Place mall where I worked for several years. I start getting worn out and notice I am contracting a bit more than I normally would so my mom gets me a pedicure (Yay! Thanks mom!) and I rest a bit. I met up with my high school history teacher Linda for a few minutes after we head back to the hotel and I was excited to get Jack in the pool :) Yeah, no. He hated it. Cried loudly. People began to stare. Out of the pool we go. Here's a pic of the unhappy camper after I took him out and we were on our way back to our room.....
And happy to be back in the room......munching on lettuce
The stinker did not go to sleep until 9:30! His bedtime is no later than 7:30 so this was not okay with me but he was having such a great time in his new environment I had to give in and let him play :)
And this is fun time on the bed watching Sponge Bob early Saturday morning! Too early, I might add :)
Started off the day with breakfast and off we were to my baby shower but had to make a Wal Mart stop first. Yuck. I dislike Wal Mart very much and could write a whole blog on the reasons why but not now......anywhoo, we get what we need and then I have to run back in to use the restroom. I am contracting fairly frequently and start to pay more attention to them......to the nasty restroom I go and I lose my mucus plug - if you don't know what that is, Google it because I won't get into it on here. Awesome. Fantastic. I slowly start to freak out. All this should not be happening now - I'm only 30 weeks! I call the on-call OBGYN in Prescott and leave a message. We head to the baby shower and I am trying to be calm. So happy to see my friends and catch up with them. They did such a great job of diffusing the situation and helping me relax somewhat - thank you!!!! Jack was having a ball being surrounded by beautiful women, I had fun opening adorable pink gifts :) I love my best friend Jen and my mom for making this day possible!
After not hearing from the on-call doc, decided to head to St. Joe's L&D before making the long drive back to Prescott after the shower. I was monitored and did have contractions, was 1.5 cm dilated and they took another fFN test which came back negative so I was given the green light to head home with instructions to be on bed rest. Yikes. With a 14 month old???? No work???? I'll do it, but I won't like it.
We get back to Prescott and here we are. My left side is constantly numb and a I already have a kink in my neck. My mom is such an awesome help and Brian is a stressed out papa. Anxiously awaiting my appointment on Wednesday and hoping to hear there have been no changes. Fingers are crossed and I just pray Chloe stays in my belly for at least another 7 weeks. Yavapai Regional Medical Center here in Prescott doesn't even have a NICU if we end up with a pre-term delivery, so we'd have to be transferred to a Phoenix hospital. Stay put Chloe!!!! As much as I am looking forward to meeting you, I can wait :)
Want to send a big thank you to friends and family that have called and connected via FB with your thoughts, prayers and well wishes. They are very appreciated and it means so much to us to have an awesome support system. We are beyond blessed with the most wonderful people in our lives!
