Well, I might have overdone it a little yesterday.
I got up and kept going most of the day. Tried to nap, with no luck. I emptied the dishwasher, reloaded it, did 3 loads of laundry, washed various dishes by hand throughout the day. My brother was having friends over, and wanted to cookout. Well I ended up basically cooking most of it for him, which doesn't bother me at all. That included steak, chicken and porkchops. As well as grilling a bunch of veggies. Then I had also promised my husband italian food when he got off work, so I made a second dinner for him for later.
By the time I sat down and was eating with Matt later, the back pain really started to kick in. I pretty much thought I was going to have to make a stop at MGH again. Luckily I didn't.
So today I got up early and was only up for like an hour, and went back to bed. And God must really have been on my side today. I slept on/off, but it was mostly on, and was able to stay in bed until about 1:45!! Lazy, I know. But if I'm not laying down in bed, I can't force myself to stay still.
So then I get up, and I'm just thinking of the PACKED dishwasher I have to empty, and then both sides of the sink that are full of dishes to start reloading and handwashing, cleaning out the refrigerator, going down to do at least 2 loads of laundry today.
And I come downstairs....And I see all the shoes on the little foyer rug lined up all nice. And I'm like Hmmm...that's weird. And I'm walking through to the kitchen, and see other little random things are straightened up.
I get to the kitchen, and see the "clean" light for the dishwasher isn't lit. When it's done running this little "clean" light comes on, and it won't go off until the dishwasher has been opened and reclosed. So I figure someone thought it was already emptied, and went to put dirty dishes in it, and then realized I hadn't emptied it yet. I opened it up.....
AND IT WAS EMPTY!!!
Seriously, you don't have any idea how exciting this is. I had that fucked PACKED with dishes. Seriously stuffed. And the repetitive bending over and then reaching up into cupboards to put stuff away really bothers my back. So I threw the dirty stuff from the sink into it, which actually wasn't that much, handwashed 2 things, and went to open the refrigerator to see what needed to be cleaned out in there. ALSO ALREADY DONE!! Nick (my brother), must've gotten up this morning, and although hungover, done all this for me without me even having to ask. Although when he came downstairs, he did tell me not to tell anyone, lol. I told him not to worry, I wouldn't let anyone know he knew how to put dishes away, lol. Seriously. I was ecstatic.
So I just went and started a load of laundry. Nick's car is blocked in at the moment, so he said he was borrowing mine for him and his 2 friends to go out for a minute. I said sure. But then after he walked out, I remembered my car is on Empty, and my first stop was going to be the gas station. So I ran out to tell him, and he said no problem, he'd throw some gas in it. Which is pretty sweet.
So all in all, maybe this will be a better day than I thought.
I have a Goodbye Party that starts at 3, that I plan on showing up for for just a little while, and maybe only like 1 more load of laundry to do.
Okay, IDK what else to write about.
Have a great weekend everyone!!

blah
So I'm so bored.
I'm supposed to be taking it easy, but am having a hard time sitting still.
I AM exhausted and contracting, but still, I don't know what to do with myself.
I emptied the dishwasher, put dirty dishes in it, did 2 loads of laundry, made 2 gallons of iced tea (my brother drinks a lot of tea, lol), went and sorted laundry in the laundry chute, got things together for dinner, along with just other random picking up.....
What is wrong with me!?!?!?!?
I need to stop!!
Blah.
I wish Matt was here. He's at work. I'm bored.

Demerol is my friend
So I just can't win!!
Tuesday night I was really starting to hurt. Even after Tylenol, using a heating pad for my back, sitting, standing, different laying positions. Nothing really helped. I tried to sleep for 3-4 hours, but at around 3am I had to get up. I went to use the bathroom, and then came back to bed, but the back pain just overwhelmed me. I was pretty much crying for an hour, trying to decide what to do. I was only having very light and erratic contractions. The back pain was the real issue. I woek my poor husband up with my sobbing. I ended up calling my mom. I had forgot the Dr.'s phone number at her house. So at around 4am, I called her, told her what was going on, and she gave me Dr. Naples number to call. He's pretty cool, the lady who answers for his answering service says he prefers his pregnant patients to be patched directly through to him, instead of paging him and waiting for a call back. So I got right through to him, told him what was going on, and how nothing was helping the pain. He said def come into the hospital then.
I called my mom, and she offerred to come pick me up and take me. We let Matt stay home to try and get a couple hours of sleep just in case this was actual labor. I had basically kept him awake all night, and he had worked like 13 hours the day before. So I figured we'd better let him rest in case this was the real thing, and he would need to come for delivery later.
Well they checked me, and said I was about 1-2 cm dilated, and 50% effaced. Hooked me up to all the monitors and all. They said Dr. Naples was going to be coming in for another patient anyway, so he'd stop by when he got there. Well, turns out he ended up having to do a delivery, and than had to run home and shower because he had a 7:30 surgery. So he was able to come in and check me at around 7:20, and agreed with what the nurses said when they checked me. But it didn't look like I was really progressing any further. They gave me the Demerol for the back pain, and kept me like 2 more hours to see if the pain went away and things calmed down, which they did. After his surgery Dr. Naples came back, and basically said the same thing we had discussed previously. I was technically still preterm, so we wouldn't discuss inducing yet. But if things did start progressing, we would go ahead and have a baby. So he let me go home, and just basically said if my water breaks, contractions get unbearable, or the back pain gets excruciating that I should come back to the hospital to get checked out. Other than that, I've got my regular appt. with him on Monday. And the back pain is basically tolerable for now.
I went home and totally passed the F out and slept good for several hours after that shot :-)
Then Matt and I went over to my parents and had some delicious steak and potatoes for dinner.
And I'm not sure I've mentioned it really, but my husband is really pretty awesome :-)
Not to mention the rest of my family is too :-)

Update! 36 weeks, 1 day
Just got back from my Dr.'s appt.
Baby is currently head down. No dilation. But I am starting to soften up (if you don't know what that means but want to, just ask, I don't want to get too graphic here).

So my back is killing me.
Plus I've had this bad cough I can't get rid of from the cold I had like a week ago. And hopefully this makes sense, but if you've ever had a lingering cough, it actually can start to like hurt your back from coughing so much. So on top of my normal back pain, now I've got back pain from coughing, and every time I feel a cough coming on, I'm dreading it, cause it hurts so damn bad!!
On top of that, I still can't pick a name. Not really sure when I'll make a final decision. Soooo............yeah.....
And I'm getting a little tired of people asking me if I picked one too. Sorry, don't mean to sound bitchy.

What a cruddy week...
So I have a lot to update, but I'm not really sure how much I feel like writing at the moment.
Monday, 6/15 I had my Dr.'s appt.
Matt had to work, and it was just a checkup anyway, so mom went with me. Naples usually runs a little behind, but he was fairly early and things were moving along, so that was nice, I figured we'd be right in and out. Well the nurse had taken my weight, temperature, urine sample, and BP. We went over my meds, etc etc and all that junk, and she sent me to an exam room.
Dr. Naples came in, we did the small talk, I told him how I had been having some more contractions on Sunday night, but tried to rest, and drink a lot of fluids and all. He said no big deal, all pretty normal for 35 weeks. He measured me, and we listened to the heartbeat and all and asked if we had any questions.
Well then he was going over my chart, and said that my blood pressure was kind of high. And I thought I had noticed that when the nurse was checking it. I guess 120 over 80 is fairly standard/good for most people, and usually I'm very close to right on that. But I was like 147 over 89. So that combined with the contractions the prior night, he said he wanted to send me next door to the birthing center to have blood drawn, and put me on the monitors for a few. Well mom and I were like, oh, wow, okay...didn't see that coming.
So he gives us the paperwork and all, and we go to the triage at the Birthing Center. They basically say that several pregnancy illnesses can cause a mother's Blood Pressure to rise, and just keep rising, it refuses to come back down. And if that occurs, the only way to get the BP back down is to deliver the baby. So they drew blood to run some tests, and put me on the monitors, and started monitoring my BP again. Well my BP went back down to an acceptable level, and the blood and urine screens came back fine. But after about an hour, hour and a half of being there, she was asking me if I was feeling my contractions. I said honestly, at that time, I really wasn't, I just felt a little crampy, like VERY light period cramps. Well they were sporadic still, and like 1-2 minutes apart. Well, when I had the contractions/preterm labor @ 31 weeks, they gave me the 2 doses of Terbutaline to stop them, because I was still VERY preterm. Well the nurse said she'd call over to Dr. Naples, and see what he wanted to do.
Well she came back and basically said at this point, Naples wasn't going to do anything to promote them (induce), or to prevent them (like Terb to stop them). And gave me the basic, if my water breaks, they get too intense to walk, any spotting, etc, to come back to the Hospital. And they let us go. Basically said I'm just going to ride out the contractions from here on out as long as there were no problems.
So that's Monday's story.
Well, yesterday I worked and felt pretty good. If I felt a strong contraction or anything, I just sat down for a few minutes, tried to drink some extra water. Mom met me at work, we shopped, then I did some laundry, and mom and I just hung out at her house. Later on, at like maybe 7, I started feeling my "cramps"/contractions, nothing too horrible, but I could feel them well enough to try and generally time them. Well I was seeing that they were fairly regular, like maybe 2-3 minutes apart, carying a little. But then I start getting a lot of back pain. And by like 8:30 the back pain was so bad it was like basically impossible to even try to time the contractions anymore. You know how when one thing hurts so bad, you forget about something else hurting? Well that's pretty much what I had going on. Well after a while, mom asked me what was wrong. She said she could tell by the look on my face something was bothering me a lot. So I told her, and she asked if I wanted to go over to the hospital. I was like, "I don't even know, are they just going to send me home?" Because it's still a bit early to induce if I'm not dilated, unless there was a real problem or reason to. Well, she decided we should go get it checkd out if my back was hurting this bad, because it basically sounded like it could be back labor.
So we went, they hooked me all up, took my BP, etc. Had to tell like 2-3 different people and nurses what was going on, fill them in on my Monday appt., how bad my pain was and all that. Well they said the baby was still very active and looking great. And we were there a couple hours, and said I was definitely having VERY strong regular contractions. They checked me, and I was not really dilated at all, maybe just a tiny teeny bit the one nurse said, but almost totally closed. So I sat and got monitored a while longer, they called Naples to fill him in. They had me drink some water and try to stay hydrated and kept me monitored to see if anything progressed. Well, Mom was kind of timing my spikes on the monitor and basically said I was having contractions every minute and a half or so, and they were all lasting like longer than 45 seconds apparently. Well the nurse said that Dr. Naples was sticking to the same plan, no plans to induce or stop them. And they offerred me Demerol for the back pain, which I was a little hesitant about. I've never really had to take anything like that for anything before, and wasn't sure how I'd react or it would make me feel. The nurse said it doesn't usually make people TOO loopy, just maybe groggy and some people get nauseous. Well I agreed to it to take the edge off the pain. Definitely ended up getting sick, which sucked. Then they just wanted to watch me after the Dem shot for a little while and let me go. Pretty much same instructions. Come back if the pain was unbearable, the contractions got really close, my water breaks, etc, etc.
So THAT was another fun night.
This kid is already being so difficult!! I just wish he'd break my water or start dilating me or something, because I do NOT want to be going through this for weeks!!

WTF?
So I'm not really even sure why or what just triggered it, but I totally just had like an "oh shit" moment.
For some odd reason I totally just randomly panicked about not being ready for the baby. I know that's normal, but it hit me completely out of nowhere, and plus I haven't even had my shower yet...
So I'm not sure what's up with that, but yeah.
I know I've got some bigger items I need and whatnot, and we have plenty of hand-me-downs, plus other new clothes. I'm not really sure what I think I'm missing that's got me freaked out. And I've got a great family that helps and buys me stuff and all.
I guess it's just that moneys been tight lately with me working less. And things I thought were going to be paid off aren't going quite as planned. For whatever reason, my last car payment (6/13) is wayyyyy higher than my normal monthly payments. I thought it would be the same. I could have sworn I paid any interest I owed because of deferred payments or whatever, but apparently not. And now my last car payment is a good $200 more than what my regular monthly payments were. I'm pissed.
PLUSSSSSS not to mention it falls on a bad month. I have to get a new license this year. Which is horseshit, since I just got a new one last August after I got married. But I'm going to be 25 on june 30th, and my license expires. Plus I need new registration/tags. And I kinda wanted to do the 2 year regis. again. So that's like $525 or so for my last car payment. And like $125 or so for my new license and a 2 yr registration. At least E-check is still free currently. Don't ask why if you don't live in Ohio.....we have mandatory E-check, and you used to have to pay like $20 bucks for it, but for the last couple years b/c of a law change or something it's been free. So thank God.
But yeah, all that stress plus normal bills, plus wanting to get more diapers and baby stuff has me freaking a little. I don't know. I know my fam and friends will help out all they can, but honestly EVERYONE is so strapped for cash with the economy and the job situations and all.....so I don't know....
I'm just having a freakout moment I suppose. Hopefully everything will turnout fine. I mean it basically always does, but still, I worry.
Must be part of the nesting/pre-baby panicking stuff that people go through. *Sigh*
I mean I have clothes and washcloths and towels and bottles. I have furniture at both my house and my mom's. I guess maybe it's more the expense of the diapers and shampoos and soaps and wipes and all that have me panicked b/c I don't have that much of that stuff yet, you know?
Hopefully after the shower on Saturday my fears will be eased a little bit. Even though the turnout isn't going to be very big :-(
And only 1 single person from work even bothered to RSVP. (out of almost 15) WTF?
Still so irritated about people not RSVPing.
Anywho, I think a fattening snack and mindless TV might help, so that's where I'm going now.

Is it really June already?
Soooooo I don't know what my deal is but man can I not wake up in the mornings anymore. Seriously. Like I don't really get an urge to nap during the day, but if I am off work, man I will sleep until like 11 or 12!! Even when I got to bed fairly early! This just sucks.
I've had so much energy the last few months, but starting last week I just can't even keep up anymore!
I slept until like 11:30 today, got up and did nothing for a while. The only reason I actually did anything was b/c mom asked me to go to Sam's Club and Bruegger's and Giant Eagle with her, lol. Otherwise I would still be doing nothing.
And I don't think we're having dinner. I usually do dinner @ mom's since Matt works most evenings, so usually she supplies the food (haha-sucker! JK) and I cook. But it's already almost 5, and I just ate (first time all day believe it or not), I had soup and a bagel sandwich so I'm pretty stuffed. I don't even know who else will be around for dinner anyway, so I don't think I'm cooking. So I will probably slack off the rest of the day, haha.
Kelly and I hung out with Garner and Amanda and their kids last night. We didn't really do anything, but it was fun. I don't get to see people anymore really, and it was nice to just sit around and bullshit for a while. It was REALLY nice out too. The weather got pretty warm and sunny and we just sat outside. Of course at about 10-ish it's starting freaking downpouring like crazy though. Go figure. Gotta love Ohio. Today has been kinda shitty overcast weather too. Puts me in a crabby mood. I don't want it to be superhot, but some sun would be nice!
Okay. I'm not sure what else to blab about now, maybe I'll write later.
I've had so much energy the last few months, but starting last week I just can't even keep up anymore!
I slept until like 11:30 today, got up and did nothing for a while. The only reason I actually did anything was b/c mom asked me to go to Sam's Club and Bruegger's and Giant Eagle with her, lol. Otherwise I would still be doing nothing.
And I don't think we're having dinner. I usually do dinner @ mom's since Matt works most evenings, so usually she supplies the food (haha-sucker! JK) and I cook.

So I'm like wayyyyyyy behind.
But here is basically what I sent to a bunch of ppl to keep them updated on what happened last Sunday (5/24)
"so long story short
i was having "cramps" last night, which i researched online and felt like possibly braxton hicks contractions (look it up if you don't know what they are, lol, im lazy)
and back pain too. plus he didn't seem to be moving as much.
so it didnt go away after a while, so i told matt we should go to the hospital and get checked out.
well they hooked me up to monitors and stuff, called dr naples, and gave me lots of water, saying i should probably be getting more fluids and stuff.
checked me out on the monitors for a while, took a urine sample and stuff, said i was def having contractions, and gave me a shot of Terbutaline to stop the contractions, then an oral dosage of it a 1/2 hr later. gave dr naples the results and stuff from the monitors and decided they wanted to keep me overnight for more observation to watch everything.
well they seem to have stopped, etc etc, they want me drinking MASSIVE amounts of water from here on it (hello bloated city!!)
but everything seems okay.
just no stress, no sex, no lifting until i see Dr. Naples later on this week.
and who knows from there?
they said the babys heart and all is still real good, so let's hope i don't have to go back again soon!!"
Today I am 33 weeks and 1 day.
Had my Dr.'s appt. Nothing much to write about.
I go back in 2 weeks, on 6/15 for my next appt., then from there on out it's every week.
I was hoping maybe today we would discover I was farther along, which was always a slight possibility because my last 2 cycles before we found out I was preggo weren't really normal for me. But they don't seem to think I'm any farther along than we thought. So still the same EDD of 7/19 I suppose.
My shower is this Saturday. I'm excited although pretty much a ton of people can't come :-/
And I registered at Target and Kmart, and both websites/registries seem to be being a COMPLETE pain in the ass for people. Apparently at our Medina Target, the kiosks are always down, so those people would have to print them out at home and take them in. PAINNNNNN IN THE ASSSSSSSSS.
But whatever.
I am just looking forward to seeing people and having fun and eating cake anyway. So I hope it turns out okay!
GTG for now b/c my brother is a pain and needs the printer.
