To start, here are some pics of Jordin's birthday cake that I made. He loved it. It's a campfire, Get it?
He's so old that I only had 24 of the tall candles and had to add 2 pink ones to add up to 26!! |
Here is a video of Pai at the bowling alley when Jordin's work had a party there. They did the disco lights and loud music for a bit and she LOVED it. I especially like the end where she is like, "Okay, I'm done." :)
So about 2 weeks ago, Pai and I were working on getting our old house all cleaned up and ready to be officially moved out, when I had a long painful contraction. So I waited a bit and then called my Dr and her nurse told me to go to the hospital. I didn't really want to, but I was freaked out a bit. So Jordin left work and came and took me to the hospital. By the time we got there the pain had gone, so I called the nurse again to see if we really needed to go in and she said its better to be safe than sorry. Agreed.
So we spent about 4-5 hrs with monitors on my belly to make sure everything was okay. After 5 hrs they didn't find anything to have caused the random 20 min contraction but they did see that I did have some contractions while I was there. They said that it could have been caused by stress, being sick (I had a little cough), dehydration, a pulled muscle, etc. At least everything was fine with the baby.
This is what happens when you go to the hospital before lunch time. You get an all liquid diet instead. The 'jello' was awful but the chicken broth was surprisingly tasty. :) |
I have hair. I promise. |
This is Jordin taking the original poly coats off. It wasn't prego lady friendly with all the heavy fumes so I just watched from outside of the garage. |
But I did get to sand with our new sander! It was fun!/ took forever!! |
She played and just tried to be entertained while we worked. |
This is the dark stain we used. I ended up looking like a leper when I was done because of all the splatter marks, but the table looks good! |
I want to add a random anecdote about living in the South that I thought was funny. We went out for dinner last weekend to this nice cafe restaurant that has great American classics like chicken pot pie and things like that. So I showed Jordin this thing on the menu called fried chicken and waffles. I thought it sounded awful which means that of course Jordin thought it sounded intriguing. So that is what he ordered. Apparently it is a common Southern dish. It's weird if you ask me. All in all, Jordin said it was just okay and would have been better if it had a sauce or something to liven it up a bit.
On Monday I had my first dr apt where she checks to see if I'm dilated at all. I was 50% effaced and 1-2 cm dilated.
She also said she could feel baby Porter's head. (I'm pretty sure he dropped about 2 weeks ago.) My awesome doc said that she estimates I will probably go into active labor around 37-38 weeks... I'm at 36 wks tomorrow. So I've got a lot to do just in case my doc is right!
She's just so cute! |
When you get bored (aka, your kid gets bored) you find ways to entertain her. ;) This is Dr. Eeyore. |
Pretty, huh?! I love it and I am super proud of myself! :) |
So as an additional update about the fam, Jordin and I are falling apart!! The poor boy is never sick and never goes to the dr, but he has been having killer back pain for about 2 months and it's only getting worse. So after about 6 different dr appointments with all kinds of doctors, we found out that he has a herniated disk in his lower back. So the boy that never takes medication is currently taking like 5 pills a day and has appointments for physical therapy and injections into the disk (ouch!). Then today, in addition to all of the prego symptoms like sciatica, I picked up Miss P this morning and pulled a muscle in my back that makes moving my right arm super painful. And like an hour later Jordin texted me and told me he rolled his ankle! I don't know when we turned 95, but it sure sneaks up on ya fast! :) We'll be okay and I just think its ironic that we are both falling apart at the same time.
Sorry if this post was super random, but I did give you warning at the beginning. ;)
But that's all for now, folks!
