This was me at a little over 35 weeks the day before I delivered.
I just got off of bedrest after having been on it for a week. It's harder than you think to be lazy. My mom and sister were a big help to me though. The reason I was on bedrest is becuase I started going into labor at 34 weeks. I went into Labor and Delivery having contractions about 4 minutes apart and they checked me and I was dilated to a 4 and she was right in position to come out. They gave me some medicine to stop the cramping and contractions and it totally took the cramping away which was a great relief to me. I had been cramping all day long and was so tired. The doctor really wanted to give the baby at least another week especially for her lungs to develop. I had to stay overnight to be monitored and I swear that bed was the most uncomfortable thing ever. The doctor came and checked on me the next morning and I was still a 4, my contractions were really sporadic, and she moved back up more into my tummy area so he felt confident in sending me home but with restrictions. A week later I went in for a check up and everything was still the same but minus the contractions and I felt better than I had during that whole week. He took me off bedrest because he was more confident that if I did have the baby she would be okay. He thought I would go at least another week but not more than two weeks before the baby came. I was so ecstatic and the first thing I did was go to Target. I was excited to be able to go to the store and go shopping. When I got home I did a little cleaning and laundry. I went to bed feeling good but tired. Later that night I woke up at 2 AM because my water had broke. I just kinda laid there and laughed to myself because I couldn't believe it was actually happening...To be continued.

I love reading your Blog Kristin. It's really cute. I'm not sure what your water breaking feels like, but I'm glad you knew what to expect and do. Little Melia is adorable, and I'm so glad everything turned out great.
What..To Be Continued?! You're gonna leave me hanging? I can't believe all you've gone through lately. That has got to be hard being on bed rest with 2 little ones. My water broke in the middle of the night as well..it's so excited/nerve racking! I love that you laughed..I can just see you doing that. That's what I love about you.
Melia is cute as can be with all that hair. I bet her big brother & sister are just loving her to pieces. Congratulations. Good luck with everything. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
