So much to update on

There has been so much that has been going on around here lately that I haven't been able to keep up to date on writing on here. Things with my pregnancy have been very hard. I went into the hospital on my birthday (October 9th) due to contractions. I was given some meds to help stop the contractions and I was checked and I was already 20% effaced and 1 1/2 cm dilated. I had a dr's appt with my OBGYN on October 12th (Jackson's birthday) and she decided that I needed to be put in the hospital and watched. So I went into the birthing center and got into our room. I was hooked up to all the monitors and everything. I was stuck on bedrest in there for the whole time that I was in the hospital and it sucked so much. I was finally able to leave the hospital on Sunday (October 15th) and go home. When I was discharged from the hospital I was 50% effaced and 2cm dilated. We ended up going back to the hospital that night because contractions were picking back up again. I was still only 2cm dilated at 50% effaced. Dealing with these contractions has brought back A LOT of memories from when I was pregnant with Matthew. I went into preterm labor with Matthew starting at 30 weeks and I was in and out of the hospital at least every day, to twice a day just to get the contractions to stop and that kept going on until I was 38 weeks along when I delivered him. It felt like the longest 8 weeks of my life! But he was well worth it, just like she is going to be well worth it as well. I can't believe that we are already in our 31st week of the pregnancy. It's just hard to believe that we are already this far into the pregnancy, I feel like we just found out that I was pregnant and now here we are, we are getting ready for our lil girls arrival that could happen at any point in time at this point. I had a dr's appt October 23rd and I am still 2cm dilated and 50% effaced, which is good, nothing has changed in the last week. I am now seeing my dr every 2 weeks and then at the end of November I start seeing her once a week, unless things start to change.

Things with Neil and I have been going pretty good actually. We haven't really been fighting or anything like that, so that's been really nice. We are starting to get a long a bit more, which is also nice lol Not that we were fighting all the time, but we would like literally fight over the most stupidest stuff ever, so it's nice to not be fighting over stupid stuff at this point. Granted we have our moments, but nothing like we used to have. He has been by my side through everything that has been going on with Cheyanne and having to be admitted into the hospital or having to go to the hospital all the time to stop the contractions. When I was in the hospital, he was right there by my side and was always there helping me through contractions and making sure that I was comfortable. Even when we are at home, he always makes sure that if I am going through a contraction and it's a hard one, that he is right there to comfort me and make sure that I am comfortable and that everything is going okay. He is always on top of everything when it comes to all of this.
