Home again

Woof! What a week this has been. Finally home from the hospital and adjusting to life as usual. Mimi and Papa had to go home to California this morning so I guess my bed rest begins now? Its been very nice to have them around to help so much this week. Definitely going to be harder without them. Mimi lost her job and they are now selling their house in California and MOVING to Utah. Its a very bittersweet thing for everyone. Very scary with so much unknown but it will be so nice to have them close to their grand kids and family. They are going to try and get everything ready to sell the house and then come back up here in a couple weeks and hopefully baby boy wont make an appearance until June and it will all work out fine. 

In the hospital they gave me 5 bags of IV fluid and so now I have this nice LARGE belly that I didn't have before. I definitely look 8 months pregnant now. Its so strange that now that my stomach is bigger I'm in less pain then I was last trimester. The round ligament does not bother me and its just kinda there. Of course it gets in my way more now they I ever noticed and if I am sitting and bend forward the silly thing hits the chair. At 33 weeks I feel like what I looked like at 37 with Madison. I guess whatever it takes to grow a healthy baby right? And I have WICKED heartburn almost constantly now. The old wives tale says that means the baby will have lots of hair. 

I cant believe in one week they will take me off the contraction medication and "see what happens". I have been doing more then I probably should but I feel a little safer because of the medication so I am trying to get as much done until he comes. Then I plan on taking it SUPER easy until my parents come back. I dont feel like he is going to come early. The contractions are a little funny, but I had lots with the first pregnancy and so I didn't even notice. They aren't enough to take my breath away and unless I am really really focusing on them I don't even feel them. 

I got to see a really detailed 3D ultrasound in the hospital while we were there. Instantly fell in love with that sweet face and can't wait to meet my little boy. I'm getting more excited every day for him to come in to our family. Zach and I have talked and we can't decided if we are done having kids or not. I guess we will just have to see where the next few years take us. Once upon a time I wanted a large family but as I've grown up and learned a few things, a small family seems just as nice. I want to provide the best I can for my children and give them all the love and support possible and I feel like with more kids, things just fall through the cracks sometimes. I already have a boy and a girl, how much more perfect could it be?
