Walking isn't going as well anymore. My once sturdy pelvis now feels reduced to a crumbling shadow of its former self. It tortures me to get to the bathroom every two minutes. Though, not enough to hold it. So, there's that.
Yesterday, I noticed that every so often, I felt a stabbing or pinching coming from my cervix. A little bit of palpating and I identified contractions as the primary source of discomfort in my cervix.
I called the OB line and was directed to go to the hospital to get checked out. Instead of having five or six contractions an hour, I was having twenty or so. So, that happened.
Another giant syringe of Terbutaline and I was crawling the walls in triage. But, the contractions settled a bit. . . At least to normal (for me.)
In four hours, the Hub and I were on our merry way home to the dog, hot showers, and our bed.
A few things of note:
* I am having regular contractions today with more stitch pinching. If it gets worse in pain or bleeding, it is likely that I will go in for stitch removal early.
* I kind of wish they would take the stitch out early so that I didn't worry about tearing. If it weren't for the stitch, I would be worry free for the first time since my 22nd week of pregnancy last year. Think on that for a moment.
* I'm in full nesting mode but physically unable to do much of it. This is where I tell you that m Hub is better than your partner. He is doing everything to my specifications. For me. Right now, the kitchen is getting steamed and scrubbed. Really.
We are 34 weeks and I am done being pregnant. Look for updates. I'm sure they will be coming.

If you have a baby tomorrow he'll share a birthday with my Ian, who will be 8 tomorrow. It's a good day for a birthday.
