Round Three


Oh me oh my we did it again!
Luke and I were admitted once again for pre-term labor. At least things aren't as scary when we go in. It's kinda like ok yeah go ahead start the Mag. Oh yeah sure hook me up to the walls with all you have, no biggie. Round three was pretty much a repeat of our other stays. We tried all the same things to slow my cranky uterus down and a few new things. Including morphine. I'm not sure what the hype is around morphine I never got too goofy and it only slightly helped with the pain. We were admitted once again in the middle of the night, on a Wednesday and were discharged (happily) on a Sunday. Our first few days at home were a little rough. A few mental breakdowns later and I think my spirits are back in check.
Rob recently affectionately said I can't wait until Luke comes and you are back to normal. I agreed and Rob followed with a high five and a tag your it "you get to do everything now!" I'll be so happy say six months from now when Luke is here and healthy and Rob is through with knee problems and I'm able to leave the house!
Other than the above things are moving right along. We recently received some fun baby gifts that really make it feel like we are getting closer to the finish line. We are now proud parents of a car seat and a stroller! Just looking at them some times gives me the motivation to make it through another day. Another exciting note to add, the Jackson crew is coming over Saturday to start painting Luke's new room! I can't wait to have the nursery all finished and ready for his big arrival! Keep checking back for pictures of our progress!

Quick update

Nothing to exciting to report, which is always a good thing. We had another follow up appointment with the OB doctor on Tuesday. Everything is pretty much the same. My cervix hasn't changed and we are going to repeat another FFN on Friday. The doctor did say that after 35 weeks they stop trying to stop labor. So if anything goes wrong with the pump or my body stops responding to the terb they would call it quits and it would be time to have a baby!
Any bets on when little Luke will come?
How much do you think he will weigh?
How long will he be?
It would be fun to keep track of everyones guesses so let me know!

Gimpy Knee Update


Although this isn't Rob's knee and leg I thought it was pretty cool.
The final (fingers crossed) surgery on Rob's knee is to take place on August 27, 2007. This will put me at 35 weeks which makes me a little nervous! Having both of us fresh out of the OR can't be a good thing with a brand new baby! Pray that Luke stays in a little longer than 35 weeks.
