31 weeks with Lily and Little Guy
I did not purposely wear the same shirt! I actually didn't realize it until I went back on facebook to find my 31 week picture with Lily. Ha!
I'm doing pretty well! Sunday was a little scary - I had regular contractions (3-7 minutes apart) for 17 hours. They weren't painful contractions, I just had a lot of pressure and kind of felt sick to my stomach. I was in contact with my midwife throughout the day, drinking tons of water, and trying to keep my feet up. We were beginning to think that maybe I had a UTI, but I wasn't having any other symptoms.
My sweet midwife called Sunday evening and said to rub Lavender essential oil on my belly because that stops pre-term labor. Within an hour of using the Lavender the contractions had stopped and I was able to go to sleep! Praise God!
Thankfully I haven't had any more regular contractions this week and I've been feeling great (well ... as good as a big 'ole preggo girl can! ha)
You look great, so tiny!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the contractions weren't the real thing! I'll keep you in my prayers!
Hope you are getting rest while chasing Lily around! Paxton is into EVERYTHING these days and tires me out! I cannot imagine being pregnant too...you are my hero!!!
you are looking so beautiful! I hope to be as pretty as you when I get pregnant :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're doing well! Praying for a FULL TERM bundle of joy!
((hugs))
I can definitely tell you're carrying differently this time! I would say you look smaller, but maybe just distributed differently? :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a great midwife!
What is UTI? (I haven't been through the pregnancy thing yet so I don't know any of the alphabet soup terms).
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the Lavender oil worked! Praise God!
I will certainly be keeping you, the little guy and your family in prayer as you enter into these final weeks of pregnancy.

I think you're carrying lower in the comparison of the pics. I'm glad you were able to stop the contractions with the lavender EO.
ReplyDeleteHaha- I agree with everyone else that you are carrying a lot lower this time. It's making you look so tiny! I am so glad the contractions stopped. Hopefully that won't happen again and your little guy will just keep cooking for a few more weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYikes on the contractions!! Glad you are feeling better! You look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you are doing better! Those midwives are great, aren't they? I have had the same one for both my USA births and I LOVE her. Rest up as much as you can, friend!
ReplyDeleteWell you look great too! :) Glad you were able to stop the contractions!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kate--rest as much as you can! Call your Mom. I'm sure she'll be glad to help! :)
