An afternoon in Labor and Delivery

On Friday when I got back from lunch, the pain that I've been experiencing for a week now got the best of me. My back, stomach, legs and feet were in so much pain it made it difficult for me to walk. I called my OB and they told me to go to the Birthing Center. Once there they hooked me up and waiting to see if there were any contractions. Lucky for me, and Peanut everything was fine, according to the doctor the baby was stretching and pushing against my back most likely pinching a nerve. The plus side to all of this, Joel and I got to listen to Peanut's heartbeat for well over 2 hours, along with every kick and turn the baby made. I also like that it gave me a small glimpse to how Joel is going to act when I am there for actual labor. He was so calm and helped me every time I needed to move. He would lift my head to make it easier for me to take a sip of water. He was just so amazing to me.





On a lighter note, my mother-in-law is purchasing us our crib. Its the Bergamo Madison Lifetime Crib:

Its so beautiful and I hope it goes great with our ocean themed nursery.

Over the weekend Mom and I got the invites for my shower all put together and done. Only thing left is to address, stamp and mail them. I know I shouldn't be helping her but I just love working on invites. Call me crazy, but its so much fun.
