31 Weeks

Our baby weighs about 3.3lbs

This has been a world wind couple of weeks. Lets start with the fact that I am now on bedrest. Have been since 28 weeks. I started having some mild contractions and dilated to 1cm spent a week in the hospital before being released on STRICT bed rest at home.
It has definitely made a great impact on my home life as Ricci is now forced to be mom and dad. We're desperately trying to hang in there to at least 36 weeks (how far along i was when I had Ameera) because at that point we know he will pretty much be able to come home with us from the hospital. 
They gave me the 4 dose steroid shot for his lungs just as a precaution stupid shot stings like hell.
I have my next appointment on Monday where I'll be 32 weeks and I'm wondering if my cervix has made any changes and if he is engaged or not. I swear I feel tickling under my pubes lol. With the holidays coming and us moving into a new house on top of not knowing how early this little one will try to pop up, I am seriously trying to keep my sanity.
Dealing with some serious cabin fever lol.
