Oh my goodness- yesterday was very tiring. I had a lot of tightening and even more infrequent contractions. I was so tired that I went to bed earlier than I have in a long while- months! It just wore me out. And geeze I woke up at almost 4AM to go pee and I was sweating like crazy.. hormones.

I also took a lot longer nap today so I feel decent tonight! I had my OB checkup this afternoon and saw the awesome Dr. Lee! I told him about my contractions this week and he said that If they come every 10 minutes for an hour (or even closer) than it’s time to get checked. Ben’s HB was about 150bpm and I even lost a pound! I guess all the walking/cleaning is why haha. After the appointment I went down to the lab to get blood drawn for my platelet levels (which seem to stay low and have since 2010 or so) and then my thyroid levels. Dr. Lee said they will not give me an epidural with platelet levels too low- but I’m hoping/wanting to go natural again.

Friend drove me back to Moms and I sat and talked to her until Brad drove home from work and came to pick me and Katie up! I ate a quick dinner then left at almost 7pm for a women’s fun meeting at church! It was good to get out. Came home to eat my frozen yogurt bar and we watched the latest episode of Chicago PD!

I’m sooooo jealous cause a girl I know from church (well their services are at a diff time than our congregation but we used to go at the same time) – she was ONE DAY behind me and she had her baby girl yesterday! So she had her at 37w1d! It will be a full moon tomorrow… hmm!!! Dr. Lee said he doesn’t think I’ll go to my due date. I’m fine with that- come on little Benjamin! I’m gonna say this weekend or sometime next week, especially after stopping the preterm labor shots. Never gone past Friday morning without the shot so… we’ll see. I cannot wait to see and hold our little boy.

Time to eat my ice cream and play LOTRO! Happy ALMOST Friday!
