Updates!

Hi! 
Have some down time and I thought I would update everyone!  Life is good here.  Mike is still gone, he is coming home anywhere between tomorrow and Weds...ya, thats the Army for you, can't stick to any date :) haha.  He's paintballing right now, which I'm super jealous about, I've always wanted to go, so hopefully he's having fun!!  Last week we had a little scare with the baby, which most of you know by now, I went in for a normal appointment, and they gave me a routine non stress test.  The doctor got concerned because I had too many contractions during the test, and he said it was too soon to be getting that many contractions, so he became concerned about preterm labor.  He put me on bed rest for a few days.  I had A LOT of contractions that Tuesday and they wouldn't stop, and 15-20 the day after, and ever since then I only get a couple a day now, which is totally within normal range.  So the magnesium they gave me, and the rest must've helped a lot because now I'm totally back to being within normal range of contractions at this point.  So that's a relief. I'm still trying to take it easy of course, and it gave me a big wake up call.  I have a hard time relaxing, as most of you know, and I realized how important it was for me to!  I had another appointment Weds, had the diabetes test and stuff and everything is great.  The baby is in position now, which has definitely changed the pressure on my cervix and the shape of my belly haha.  His little feet are under my ribs haha.  The dr says he's in a perfect position to be in right now, so that's good!  We're still debating on the middle name.  Either way mike is SET on Lukas lol.  I still look at other names, but no, lol.  and i don't mind because it's a good strong name that we both agree on :)

I'm doing pretty well, the third trimester hit, and it hit hard lol.  I can't sleep that well anymore, either because i'm going to the bathroom all of the time, or Luke wakes me up, or i'm just stressing over things needlessly lol.  I woke up at 530 this morning worrying about getting a carseat in time, because we have to ship it.  Just sooo many things to do, and with the contractions it's possible that he will come earlier, but who knows!  annyyways.  Work is good, they're really good to me and make sure i'm resting :) haha.  It looks like we will most likely come visit CA in March ish, sooo that's exciting!  Anyways,  i think that's all for now.  I need to go!! hope all is well in the states!!!
