Tenlee wanted her picture taken and then Koop decided he should stand next to her.
Finally got the crib built
Finally got a chance to get some of the kiddos newborn clothes washed and ready to go!
My friend Sarah is the only one who knows if the baby is a boy or girl!
I had a few things I wanted for pictures for each gender so she went
ahead and took care of ordering them for me.
36.5 Weeks-Feeling so ready to meet this baby!
We spent our 4th of July at my aunt and uncle's lake house. I rode out on the tubing boat and by that evening my contractions had started back up and were very strong. On our way home I told Tyler that if they kept up for the next hour we were gonna head down becuase of how strong they were. They slowed down when I went to bed but I did wake up a few times with a few smaller ones, I did have a hard time sleeping due to really sore hips and my back was killing me.
Kooper
Baby #3
Top is Kooper bottom is Baby #3. I definitly think I was more
round and just bigger with Kooper. This one is more straight out.
I have had some back issues for a while with this little one but lately it has been getting worse. I had 2 small photo sessions in one night and I did a little bit of lifting that day. My back basically gave out 3 times and I literally couldn't move. They put me on a muscle relaxer and I was told to sit in a semi recliner with an ice-pack on my back and legs propped up with pillows. Not exactly what I was hoping for. I had Lukus's open house that weekend that I was planning on helping my mom with and then I had 6 sessions planned for the next week.
At 35.5 weeks I started having some sharp pains down my back and down my front into my thigh and legs. My contractions for some reason slowed way down for about 4 days. They had been pretty consistent but not horribly painful. When I started having the sharper pains my contractions started back up...not as often but definitely more painful and just feeling different than they had been feeling before.
I have gained a total of 30 pounds as of my 36 week checkup. Babies heartbeat was a little higher this appointment. It was in the 140's this time. She went ahead and checked me since I have been having some stronger contractions. I am not fully dilated to a cm but she said I was definitely making progress. She said she would see me in a week unless I went into labor during that week.
Monday June 29th-Started having some harder contractions. They started the weekend before and I also started having some sharper pains.
Tuesday June 30th-Had contractions all day...was hoping that baby did NOT come that day because Tyler was almost 4 hours away for his job, making me super nervous.
July 3rd-Woke up feeling slightly different. Had some mild contractions and a little bit of cramping. I had a newborn session from 10:30-1:30 and afterwards we headed straight down to my parents. Ont he way down I started having some pretty consistent contractions. Mom and I went to Ft Wayne to finish up getting some last minute things for our shower on Sunday. I started timing them and was having them about every 4-6 minutes for an hour. I just started feeling worse as the day went on. I was feeling light headed and my stomach was upset...which I thing was partly nerves. When we got home I showered and and after talking to Tyler decided I should probably call the Dr. and see what she suggested doing. I really assumed she was say to come on down and get checked out. She said it was my choice but she suggested waiting until they get a little stronger. I was somewhat disappointed because I thought it would be neat to have a forth of July baby. But at the same time I was really starting to get scared, nervous, and just not ready yet.
