34 weeks, 6 days brought a fun day, NOT! I called the nurse in the morning, told her about some lower back cramping I had been having and she had me come in just to be sure. I didn't see my normal dr.
They did do my 35 week check up since I was there. Weight, no change and measured good.
I was having contractions while I was there, which isn't unusual, I get them all the time. Apparently, I have a UTI which is the cause of the lower back cramping and to be extra safe and make sure I wasn't in preterm labor, I was sent to good ole L&D. Yey! (Insert sarcasm)
All I could think about was everything I had to do at work and not being able to go back the rest of the day. Then throughout laying there I kept thinking, what if this really happens and Geoff has to pack my bag for me. God help us all.
So when I walked into L&D, I immediately had a flood of memories from when I walked in there in labor with Carson, 7cm dilated and I sat in the chair and my water completely broke, EVERYWHERE. Of course I laughed to myself and told the nurses and they laughed. I said, 6 years ago I sat here filling out the same papers, going through contractions and filled out the wrong name on the paper work. Hence why when people came to visit or call, they asked for Lauren Ellison and couldn't find me until it was fixed. I wrote my name as Lauren Kaplan that day. ha!

| In L&D |
I am 1cm dilated, amnio fluid is good, cervix measured 3cm in length which the nurse said is good for 35 weeks and the baby was perfect. On the ultrasound I got to see her eyes, nose, mouth and they confirmed again, its a girl. The ultrasounds in the hospital are amazing, so clear.
I finally got home at 6 and Geoff had dinner waiting on the table. Needless to say, I fell asleep with Carson when I put him to bed at 830.
4 1/2 weeks left to go!!
