34 Weeks and Counting!!!

We are finally 34 Weeks along, and we have officially begun our countdown (AKA anxiousness) for our little guy's arrival!!! I've cut back my work hours from 12 hr shifts to 8 hr shifts, yet I continue to have Braxton-Hicks contractions like crazy and my back is killing me! YAY! Yesterday at work, the contractions got up to about every 5 minutes so I had to leave work and go to Labor and Delivery to be monitored. As soon as I layed down, the contractions slowed and became more sporadic again and I was only dilated about a 1/2 cm so I was sent home on bedrest for yesterday and today. I had my Doctors appointment today and he told me to go ahead and continue to work as scheduled, but if that happens again, to stop working. I had also gained another 7 lbs, which he said was all fluid, so if that continues as well, I'll definitely have to stop working to prevent any other problems. Other than that, he said I look great and everything is fine. I will go back in 2 weeks!!! Other than that, my baby shower is this Sunday, and I'm so excited!!! I just can't believe how close it's getting to his arrival!!! The nursery is mostly put together with just a couple of little things to finish up!
