10 Weeks to go!

I am officially 30 weeks pregnant and that means just 10 weeks to go until we meet our little one! All is going well minus a few minor pregnancy related things. I ended up in the labor and delivery unit at TG on Saturday due to contractions and not feeling the baby move. Apparently I was in preterm labor... After lots of tests, fluids, and chatting with a Dr. and nurse we got to go home with lots of instructions to monitor the baby closely and call my Dr. first thing Tuesday morning. I have also been going out to the Dr. office once a week to get my blood drawn for low platelets and then seeing my Dr. every two weeks for my routine visits. It all sounds very intense but thankfully everything seems to be fine and lets just hope this baby wants to stay in there another couple of months! Man, I sound kind of high maintenance but I am sure trying not to be!

On another note Brett and I just got back from a very fun camping trip! We spend 3 nights away camping on the coast. We headed down I-5 to Newport, OR and then spent the next few nights and days driving up the 101 and visiting each little town along the way! It was a great getaway and got us excited to camp with a little one!

**yes, I am wearing the same sweatshirt in every picture because lets just say I like to pack light!

Brett starts work on Wednesday and I am pretty confident he is really excited! He has been reading through all his old text books to, as he puts it, get his "hat rack" thinking again and he has been purchasing a few pairs of scrubs for his first days! It will be exciting to hear all about his new life in the ICU! Harrison is lucky to have him!

We also got to celebrate Coco's 3rd birthday with a trip to the zoo! I have decided that I am not buying children's gifts because they really don't ever fully appreciate a mountain of gifts and instead pick their favorite and the rest end up in the corner so Brett and I's new gift giving is an activity spent with us! We gave Coco a trip to the zoo and lunch out! She was so excited about having a day out by herself and it also gave Erica and Gavin a chance to have the morning to themselves! Everyone wins!
