                 A quick update for the past 10 weeks. I decided after dealing with substantial bleeding since the beginning of my pregnancy and not getting any where with the Midwives practice I had chosen,  to change practices. The new doctor took one look at the cause of my bleeding (which was a very infected polyp) and said that needs to be removed before you go into premature labor. So we scheduled a surgical suite at the hospital and I had a very simple albeit uncomfortable procedure done and have not had a single bleeding issue since.  I now  have great confidence in my new doctor which is a lot more than I could say before about the old one.  I was thrown a wonderful baby shower by my great friend Julie Wilson. That girl can really plan a party. Doug and I had such a great time with all of our friends and family…and can’t help but think what awesome friends we have…they came to an outdoor shower on the hottest day of the year and didn’t complain or faint….Yay!  We also took a trip to Reno to see Doug’s parents and aunt. It was a great time but I swelled up like a big balloon when we got back and the doctor said that was the end of my traveling. It put a damper on the planned trip for later that month for his aunts surprise 80th birthday party…but the doctor was right because The night of the party I had my first bout with false labor and was glad I was home in my own bed and that Doug decided not to go to Reno without me…I think I would have been pretty freaked out to deal with it alone…it was intense!  We are also almost done setting up the baby’s room and have even been a little crafty…We re purposed an old makup counter stool I bought from Gotchalks when they went out of business into a table for the baby’s room (picture included). Last night I had another bout of false labor ..which was not as painful as the first but lasted a lot longer…8 hours as opposed to 3 hours. I’m not convinced I will make it to my due date in 4 weeks…I think Olive will be here earlier…I’m on her schedule now!
