35 wks 3 days and Still Preggo!!!WooHoo

Let's start this off by saying that I have had contractions all weekend long. They have not been in a regular pattern since my trip to L&D on Friday, but I was still having them none the less and they weren't braxton hicks!! Yesterday, Sunday we went to Church(this is my one allowed fieldtrip each week other than the Dr) and then all afternoon I was hurting, not contracting, just plain old hurting. I figured out why last night the baby finally dropped and is way low. Along with this I lost my mucuous plug(I would say all of it) and had to start wearing a pad, as everytime I move I was leaking something. I wasn't sure if it was discharge or urine, or heaven forbid my membranes had a slow leak. I decided to just wear a pad and mention it today at my Dr's appt. So at 10pm I took an extra strength tylenol and I went to bed, I woke up at 2am, wide awake after having a few hours of great sleep. Seriously I thought I had been asleep all night the way I felt when I woke up. My hips were killing me though and I could barely walk. I decided to just sit in the tub in the hottest water I could stand and that helped a ton...Well then I was totally awake and knew I wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep. Gotta love pregnancy insomnia.. So I probably peed like 150 times in the middle of the night.

Karli decided to wake up early too, so at 5:15 she got up and was bright eyed, bushy tailed and ready to go. Ran got home from work at 6:45 and we got the kids fed, and ready to go. Korey went to school and Karli went to my in laws. I decided to lay down and sleep with Randall and I slept from about 8:30 until 1:30.. great sleep. When I woke up I could walk again..YAY... I took a bath, then woke up Randall so that we could get ready for my appt.
