Heh heh...please laugh with me. Sometimes when life throws you a loop all you can do is laugh. I have officially been off bed rest and all medication to stop the contractions for 2 full days...and NOTHING has happened!!! heh heh All of our family has been waiting on edge for Wednesday to come and go thinking that as soon as the medicine wore off we would be welcoming baby Max shortly after.
Still waiting...
I find it ironic because Will and I were sure that if we made it to the 35 week mark, Max would definitely be here and now I believe he really isn't coming at all. We have been praying and asking everyone else to pray for us to make it to this week and now I could see us going the whole way.
I will be honest and say on Wednesday/a little of Thursday I have been angry. I think mainly because it has been such a roller coaster for weeks and I thought the end was in sight. Now on day 3 I am happy because any additional days Max stays put the healthier he will be. Isn't life funny! Please continue to pray for now my sanity because I may need a weekend retreat at the local mental institution when this is all said and done but for now please just laugh with me...not at me...with me!
Oh yeah and off bed rest doesn't mean you can take off and do whatever you want. When you have been down for 6 weeks your ole body can't keep up with you like you want it to. After a morning of cleaning house on Wednesday, I had to take a 2 hr. nap. Sad, I know! Maybe my energy will come back quickly or I will just commit to the couch. Either way it doesn't matter anymore.

You knoooooooow, that Saturday night is a full moon! (if there is any truth to that.)
I am perfectly miserable now (not comparable to you, I am sure) but the Dr told me yesterday I am close and if I don't go on my own in the next 2 weeks he will induce me the first week of Sept.
This may sound mean, but I am kinda glad you haven't had little max yet. ONLY bc I have been worried about him and to hear he is staying on his own is really comforting (oh and maaaybe I have a little "I want my baby out too" envy :) ) Good luck and keep us posted! I am so excited for you!
1. Although your situation is much more serious than I had with Reagan, the same thing happened to me. I was on bed rest with him and they kept telling me we just had to get to 35 weeks. Well, he was THREE DAYS LATE! Psychologically, it felt like I was pregnant for 10 months. I guess this doesn't sound reassuring, does it? My point is, though, that he was chunky and very healthy! That's the goal, right? AGH! I'm with you, though, on the frustration.
2. I am totally with you on the exhaustion. I was only on bed rest this time for 3 weeks and I feel like a truck hit me when I try to do very much. A trip to Target yesterday morning knocked me down for the afternoon. lol
Hang in there! In the scope of life, a month isn't much. I'm still praying.
That is great! I know you are relieved. Colton came on Thursday. He was exactly two weeks early but I'm relieved to have it over with with. I love him so much already!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I just heard the news! So grateful you're both doing well!!
The wait has ended....Max has made in entrance into the Jones family!!! Yeah!!! Cannot wait to meet the little rascal. Congrats and best wishes. Love to all!!!
