Baby Update

A week ago today, Sean and I had been up for 24 hours and were about to be discharged from the hospital. Yes, the hospital. Little baby DeFrehn had decided to make an announcement that it was on its way in the form of contractions every two minutes. While the baby is more than healthy and there was no talk of being premature, it was obviously better to play it safe and let it enjoy it's little home for just a little while longer. They sent us home with medicine to stop the contractions and orders for me to take it easy.

Fast forward to today, a week of contractions, little sleep and more time to think about this little one arriving and that is where we are at. The medicine is helping to take the edge off of the contractions and now having been off my feet, I remember what they looked like before pre-pregnancy puffiness set in. We are uncertain as any parents when the little one will be arriving. There are signs that it may not be too far away, but then again you hear about people being induced after weeks of this. (Please cross your fingers that isn't the case!) We are trying to enjoy some time where we are ordered to relax, but the reality is 1. We are both terrible at that and 2. There is a baby on the way! How can we relax?

Between sleep and contractions, I will do my best to keep you all up to date on what's happening. Maybe a baby to announce soon or just another update on the joys of contractions and trying to "relax" and prepare for a baby from the couch;)
