Pregnancy update

I have been completely MIA lately!

I think it's because I feel like every post I would post would be about being pregnant or pregnancy related.

Who wants to hear about that all the time??

Not me! lol

I feel like this pregnancy has completely consumed my life.

So bare with me I'm almost done.

I can't believe I only have roughly 8 weeks left.

Hopefully my body can hold out until then.

I have been experiencing preterm labor symptoms off and on for the past couple months.

It scared me to death the first day,

I eventually ended up at the hospital

because the contractions wouldn't stop!

I was an emotional wreck that day,

it was horrible I can't even tell you!

After being in the hospital for a few hours,

I finally got the shot that makes the contractions stop.

Since then I'll have bad days and good days.

The bad days I can feel the contractions threatening to come,

Lots of pressure and aching come down in my low belly with contractions here and there.

Those days I take it easy and drink a herbal tea my sister's midwife told me to drink which relaxes the uterus and stops contractions.

Last week was a bad week,

everyday I felt my body tensing up and the preterm labor pain/symptoms begin.

This week has been a good week,  

not one day have I felt anything abnormal!

Yay for good weeks.

So fingers crossed everything will be fine until I'm full term!
