Whew...

Well, we've been officially been living in Alabama since July, but there have been so many obstacles, I just haven't been able to keep up with this blog. So, here's what been going on. We settled in the house in July, went to Puerto Rico, got our household items delivered, got the flu, Kyle started school in the beginning of August, kids started preschool three days a week in late August, kids got the flu, went to an Auburn football game, went canoeing, Kyle almost got bit by a snake, then all was good until the end of September when I started having pre-term labor and ended up in the hospital for four days. Started late on Wednesday evening, still there on Thursday, thought it was Braxton-Hicks, but they were so bad that we went to the hospital that night, gave me a shot to stop the contractions and sent me home, was fine through the night, came back on Friday morning, went back to the hospital, began to dialate, so they kept me and put me on Magnesium (no fun)and had to stay until Sunday and gave me medication to stay on for the rest of the pregnancy. Also, was put on pseudo-bedrest, no lifting and exercising and had to have lots of rest. Had a few contractions and little movement afterwards, went back into the hospital, but was given a shot to help stop the contractions and sent home. Haven't had any contractions/issues in three weeks! Yeah! Had to make it my 34th week of this pregnancy, which is today, and have a doctor's appointment tomorrow to find out more information along with my normal check-up. Doctor said that he would not stop any labor/contractions after my 34th week and we are hoping that he takes me off my medications as well! So, we could have a baby between now and December! We'll keep everyone posted.
