Close call

Last weekend was more than just a little busy with tons of family in town for a wedding and graduations.  Things for Chloe were so far from a schedule, but she did well.  It made us realize even more that she is best with her normal schedule, but she is ok when things get off…and they got WAY off on Friday night.  The little cake devouring party animal didn’t go to sleep until 10:45 that night!

Last weekend wasn’t the biggest excitement we had in the last few days though.  Kelly went to the OB on Monday and she was 1cm dilated with her cervix 80%.  Cervices get thinner at the end of pregnancy and the fancy way of saying that is ‘effacement.’  She was exactly 35 weeks pregnant then.  Late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning, I woke up to Kelly poking me at 1:15am telling me she felt a weird pain in her abdomen.  You have to remember that with Chloe, Kelly woke up with her water broke, large contractions, and she was 5cm dilated when we got to the hospital so there isn’t much reference for her or me as to what her beginning stages of labor are.  We ended up at the hospital after she talked to the OB on-call.  She wasn’t dilated any further but she definitely was having contractions on the monitor.  Luckily, the contractions slowed down and stopped so they sent us home.  Kelly’s been fine since.  I called in Thursday though for fear something might happen.

At this rate, the next blog update might include pictures of Trey!
