Check out this cute baby

Hospital round #2

Well I went to the hospital again last night. When my contractions stayed at 2 minutes apart for an hour (they still are like braxton hicks). So we got to the hospital at 10:00pm. They checked me and I am now dilated to a 5+ and 90% effaced having contractions every few minutes. Sounds like a should be in labor right! Well after an hour of sitting there I hadn't dilated anymore so they sent me home. I made it through the night, but I am terrified that I am not getting an epidural this time around...because I am already almost to a 6, and I don't think they can give you one after a certain point. Probably I should be more concerned about having the baby in the car right now.

Contractions

Well I have had a busy weekend, and I still may come out of it with a baby. I went to my check up Friday and the doctor told me I was already dilated to a 3 and 70% effaced (I am 36 weeks). So I went back to mom's to hang out a while. I kept getting sicker and sicker, and I started having contractions every 5 minutes. Russ came over after work and about 9:30 Friday night I we decided to go to the hospital to see if I was in labor. ( My beginning labor doesn't really hurt, just feels like braxton hicks.) So at the hospital they checked me again and I was at a 4+, so they admitted me. They also gave me a shot to stop the contractions so I spent a long, long night in the hospital with no contractions, and then Saturday morning they released me. So Saturday I slept, and started in with contractions again about 4 in the afternoon. It is now 4 AM, still having contractions every 15 minutes, but I am trying to hold off on the hospital till we are sure they won't try and send me home. They said because I still have 4 weeks they will not help induce me in anyway. (aghhghg) I also can't really go home because it is 45 minutes from the hospital, and I don't want a baby in the car! So we are all staying with my mom and dad...even the dog! Poor mom! So who knows how long we will be here.

Growing Larger

Well as you probably know we are on the final count down weeks till "baby boy" comes. The date is Nov. 14 but he will be here at least a week before that. So I am still growing to most peoples amazement. I cannot tell you how many times in the past month I tell people how many weeks I have left and they look at me in amazement. I was even asked if I was having twins...this month. So alas I am huge, but hopefully he will be healthy right? No need for a picture this post.

Wind storm

While we were camping there were 70 mile per hour winds at our house. We came home to a broken tree.

Flamming Gorge

This weekend we me the Doyle family in Flamming Gorge for a camping trip. We had a great time. We went hiking up this mountain to a cave. Then Russell and the kids squeezed through the broken bars. I didn't fit.

Russell got to go fishing. Both with his pole and spear fishing. The water was so beautiful.

This is Russell at the Gorge lookout. It was a great trip.

It only rained on us the last night, so we felt lucky. It was a beautiful place
