What we did this week:
I worked on the spray paint project of the flowers and the iron peices. All of the flowers are done now and I just need one more coat on the two iron peices.
I decorated the centers of the flowers with rhinestones and crystals to make them extra fun.
Taylor finished her bow holder for me and I put all of her headbands and bows on it. Now we just need to hang it and her bathroom area is finished. I found some wooden dragon flies at the lobby and painted them in shades of purples and glitter. I'm going to hide them by her light switches and around her room and in her gallery wall. I also made her clothing dividers like I made Henry and used the dragon flies to decorate those as well. I need to add the labels on them and put them on her closet rod.
I organized her closet and put all of her clothing away after I washed it all and inhaled the dreft smell for probably a lot longer than I needed to. I washed her extra sheets and filled her dresser with her onesies and pants and extra stuff. Her room is pretty close to done, just hanging things on the walls and covering her chair and we will be finished.
I had a dentist appt on tuesday (28.5 years no cavities, thank you very much). And an OB appt on wednesday. Everything looked great. Her heartrate was 145 and she is head down still. THANK GOD. She just better stay that way. Dr. Steinbis said my increasing pelvic and hip pain and swelling is all normal to be happening this early in pregnancy for my second round and my braxton hicks that are all the time are normal too.
Thursday we went to dinner at the peanut and I had some sharp stabbing pain at the top of my belly right before dinner started that lasted through dinner. I has having lots of braxton hicks through dinner too and I could barely walk when we left the table because my back and pelvis hurt so bad. The contractions continued and started to get painful and that abdominal pain didn't let up. We went home, took a bath, drank a ton of water and started timing them and they didn't go away so I called L&D to find out guidelines for pre-term labor and when I needed to come in and they said that I should come get checked. Remember, I have never had contractions in my front, just tightening from braxton hicks, all of the real deal stuff just felt like period cramps and back pain because I had back labor so bad with Henry and then I got my epidural before he turned and the back labor let up so I couldn't feel them in my front of my tummy. Taylor's parents came over and hung out (Henry was already in bed) and we drove in. I got to triage and saw one of my favorite nurses and started to get all teary and choked up, I knew I was in good hands then but I was also scared to death. 30weeks and 5days means a lot more to me than a random person off the street. Taylor asked me what 30weeks meant as far as babe and I told him we weren't even going to talk about it.
I got hooked up to the monitors and they started doing tons and tons of tests. I had swabs done and they checked to make sure I wasn't dilating. I also did a urine sample and they took a bunch of blood just to check everything out. They put Eleanor on the monitor too and made sure she was tolerating my contractions, which she was, thank god. The contractions started to slow as they had me sit there and watch me and then when they told me I could go but they had to show the attending my contraction strip, he said that based on how they had picked up and how frequent they were that he wanted an IV and another hour or so on the monitor and a bag of fluids started to make sure I was good and hydrated and that wasn't causing more issues. Sure enough they slowed down a little with the fluids and they think I was just a little more dehydrated than I thought I was. No idea what the sharp pain was from but it started to go away over night and hasn't been back since. I was told to take it easy (yeah right, I have a 21mo son at home and I work) and keep hydrated. Definitely quite a scare but I'm glad all is okay and things have slowed down.
This week we also celebrated Taylor's dad's birthday and even though I don't eat sugar anymore I made this amazing cake since he LOVE swiss cake rolls.

You take a bowl, line it with plastic wrap, cut the swiss cake rolls into slices about 1/2" thick and start in the bottom center and lay them all the way around and up the sides. Fill the middle with softened ice cream and place plastic wrap on top and freeze it. Flip it over after a few hours, take off the bowl and plastic wrap and slice. YUM.
Grandma and Grandpa got to put him to bed that night too which they all really enjoyed.
