Q: I Feel Like Crap Today...

and just need to vent. I just seriously feel off again. I've only had a couple contractions today so I don't think it's that. I'm just extremely tired have a lot of pressure down below. I know that this is all normal. I just felt like venting a little. There is an end in sight though. I'm almost 33 weeks. I will be Friday at least.

Well, sometimes I have strong ones but I'm not having anything consistent anymore. A nurse I know on L&D said as long as I'm not having more than 4-6 in an hour then I'm fine. I'm not having that many anyways. I just feel bad. Brandon was joking yesterday that knowing our luck Brina's going to try to come on Christmas Day. I hope she doesn't come that early but that does seem to be our luck lately.

I really hope she does hang in there until then. If I can make it to 37 weeks I'll be happy. I've been taking it easy and lying around so we'll see.

I just got back from the hospital yet again. I was contracting every 5 minutes. I got three more shots to stop them. What wonderful fun (sarcasm). I'm still only at 1 cm and 50% so that's good that there's no changes there.

We are either naming her Brina Nicole or Brina Noelle. I want something different so I'm trying to get dh to go with Noelle.

Tell him it's a Christmas miracle that she hasn't come yet, so Noelle is only appropriate.

That's a good way to think of it. We were told that it would be surprising if she wasn't here by Christmas. Through God's grace though we've made it to 34 weeks now. I go in for my next appointment next Thursday. I start my weekly appointments after that. If she can just hold on for a few more weeks I will be more than happy to let her out. I only have two more weeks left of taking the meds. They've been weaned down to almost nothing now though. Since my last set of shots I've only had a few episodes of contractions and they have gone away on their own.
