33 weeks

So, since my first visit to Covenant, (Partners in OB/GYN) I have been down several more times.  My 32 week appointment started with an ultrasound.  Baby is measuring at a week ahead.  Everything else looks good.  My 32 week appointment, I had felt pretty bad-lots of contractions-the night before.  I had a feeling something had changed.  I was dilated to 1 so they sent me to Labor and Delivery to be observed and get steroid shots.  They sent me home after 3 hours.  I came back the next day to get my next shot.  Then, I had an appointment for the first day of my 33rd week.  There was a large snow storm forcasted so I went the day before.  I was not dilated any more.  I then had a very hard weekend with lots of contractions, pain and uncomfortableness as well as itching.  There was another storm Monday but I still went down with Grandma Diane and Grandpa Tim.  No more dilation, 50% thinned out, Group B strep test was done.  I had to give blood to be tested for cholestasis.  We waited for an hour and a half for the Ffn test.  It was negative so that means 90% chance I won't go into labor in the next week.  I'm not so sure though.  I had a negative one 2 days before I had Afton.  We will see!
I am getting VERY excited to see this baby!  I have been off work since Dec 15-28 weeks.  It is now Jan 26 and I feel very restless!  My cousin has been staying with us since Jan 1 to help with Afton and the new baby when it gets here.  What a help!!  Not only with Afton but to help me keep sane!  I have also been studying VBACs and natural births.  I have made a birth plan and am very excited to work through it!
