Caleb Update

Wow this pregnancy is going crazy!! I starting having contractions Wed. at my weekly dr. appt. They gave me a shot to stop the labor. I was also put on bed rest and was told to get a lot of rest and stay off my feet. My contractions returned Sun. night. These contractions were hurting so bad - I thought I was going into labor. We rush to the hospital - false alarm. I'm having contractions but I'm not dilating yet. They gave me another shot and sent me home.

I went to my weekly ultrasound/dr. appt. today. They measured the baby and he weighs about 9.9 lbs. I am 35 weeks pregnant - he should weigh around 5 1/4 lbs. While waiting on the dr, I started having contractions again. Not dilating yet!! They put me on a monitor. Dr. gave me some meds to control the contractions. This will provide me with some comfort.

Caleb is fine. He's actually doing great! However, I am in a lot of pain. My back hurts so bad. My stomach is sore from caring this huge baby. I can barely move. I can't sit or lay down in a comfortable postion. I have never been in this much pain in my life. There is no way I'll be able to have this baby "naturally". The best thing is for my water to break and they will do a c-section. I'm seeing a specialist next week to determine why Caleb is so big. Hopefully, my water will break soon and I can have this baby. I don't know how much more pain I can stand. But he's worth it - Caleb is worth the pain.
