Crib time

Jan 17, 2009

Adam's parents came up today to spend the weekend with us. It was a nice day. We went to Babies R Us and bought some diapers as they were having a sale--figured we should stock up when we can. We then went to Baby Depot and got our cribs and matresses--compliments of the Tuites!! It was quite the experience. It took both of our cars and we had barely any room for all of us to get them back home, but we made it. We are very grateful to them for purchasing them. We can't wait to put them together and start getting ready for the babies.

We went out to eat to a nice restaurant for Adam's birthday tonight. I actualy put heels on and some decent clothes--it did take a while to find something that looked right, but eventually we left the house. It was such a nice time. Good food and dessert and everything. It was great.

I forgot to take a picture before we left, but I took one when we got home.

I pretty much did nothing today as I was worn out from getting out yesterday. I watched two football games and slept on the couch. Pretty exciting. Adam and his mom went shopping for a little while and his dad kept me company watching TV.

Jan 19, 2009 Happy Birthday Adam!!

My hubby is 30 today! Yeah!!! I feel like a heel for not getting to throw him a party or anything, but he was very understanding under the circumstances. I did sneak out of the house last week and got him a card and some dark chocolate. Plus, I got him tickets to the Illini vs WI game through a friend of mine at work. So.....not a total loss.

Today we went to initally look at minivans, but ended up testdriving one. We're not sure what we're going to get yet. I have been researching online, but just wanted to get out there and see one up close and personal. It was a long day and I was pretty tired by the time we got home. His parents then went home that afternoon and I took a nap.

I had been having a lot of tightening feelings in my abdomen since around 5pm today; but didn't think that much of it. I didn't say anything to Adam until around 9pm when it had been continuous off and on all evening even while I was laying in bed doing nothing. He was pretty worried and we ended up calling the on call nurse, who in then called the on call doctor, who in turn called me and told me to come to the hospital for some monitoring.

We got to the hospital at around 2230 and were able to leave by 0200; so, I was happy to get to go home. We had several tests and exams and the babies heart rates were checked and I was hooked up to the monitor to check for contractions. It ended up being uterine irritability--kind of a precursor to contractions. They subsided pretty much after laying there for a few hours. It was kind of scary because I just want the babies to make it to viability at the least--24 wks!! It was our first scare and very minimal compared to what a lot of people go through. Still, we were very thankful that everything turned out well.
