Have a good weekend everyone!  I have been officially released to return to work on Monday!  I have been swamped at work, so I'm looking forward to it. It's rather challenging to be working from my couch day after day. I have files and papers spread all over the living room, and D moved the printer upstairs so it's sitting on our TV stand! 

Off to see the Indigo Girls tonight!

34 Weeks, Good appt

So I had my appt today and everything went well. She was very encouraged to hear that I haven't had spotting in 10 or 11 days now.  I admitted that I *may* (ahem) have accompanied D to Home Depot on Saturday b/c he was getting tile for a blacksplash in the kitchen, and he really couldn't be trusted to pick out such a thing on his own :-0  I figured I would get a huge lecture about that, but she didn't seem upset nor surprised that I had gone there.  He did drop me off and pick me up at the door!   But after my little field trip, I did have more cramping Saturday night, in my back as well as lower abdomen. I came home, laid in bed with a heating pad, drank water, and they eventually went away.  Last night I had a similar occurrance, but today was pretty calm. She seemed more concerned about the spotting than the cramping.   She said the baby has dropped a bit, and that any low pain was probably a result of that.

Judging by what I learned from being in the hospital hooked up to the monitor, I do think my "cramps" are indeed contractions. But she seemed to think if they went away again, it wasn't too alarming.   So confusing sometimes!

So.  If I have another calm week at home this week, I can go back to work next week!  YAY!!!  I even offered to make it just 4 hour days, and she seemed to think that was an excellent idea.  She's even letting me go to an Indigo Girls concert Friday night!!!  It's what I got my BFF as a thank you for throwing my shower. She said if I got dropped off and picked up at the door, and if I sat at the concert, it should be fine.

And I can drive again!  Woo hoo.  So I'm just hoping that I can stay pregnant until my shower on 5/1.  After that, BRING IT ON!  Oh!  And also, I only gained ONE pound!  Explain that with bed rest, constant eating, and a huge belly!   She said I was probably losing muscle mass, but eh, whatever.

Today was the first time I had anything but sweats on in 2 weeks, so here it is!  Cardigan and tank are Mossimo from Target, and jeans are Old Navy maternity.
