Pregnancy update 27 weeks

Well the past week has been so uncomfortable!! I made a trip to the ER last week to see what was going on but all that has done is make me worry. I was having some contractions but the nurse thought I might be dehydrated so I was sent home and told to aim for 64 ozs of non-decaffeinated drinks a day. I am trying to do this and I have been living in the bathroom lol! I am have pain on and off but mostly just uncomfortable. I have called my doctor's office and told them but they want me to just try to take it easy which I am and they will see me Aug. 4th. This is my 4th baby and I have never made it to 40 weeks my first was 6 weeks early and spent 2 months in NICU. Thank God he is healthy today but I do NOT want another baby to go through that! My 2nd baby was 3 weeks early but she was born healthy, and my 3rd baby was between 4-6 weeks early the doctor's argued over how early they thought he was because he weighed almost 6lbs he had to stay a few extra days in the hospital because his oxygen level was low. So I have never had any problems this early and it is really stressing me which I know can make matters worse. I just want the doctor to understand and take my concerns seriously. I would feel better if they check my cervix to make sure I haven't dilated maybe that would ease my mind somewhat.

The Endangerbles CD Review & Giveaway

My son love's animals! He would enjoy going to the zoo everyday if we could. When I got the opportunity to review a cd about animals I knew he would be excited. This cd is about endangered animals and it's a great fun way to get started talking about how we can help endangered animals. Extinction for extinction is one of the songs on the cd and it's a good motto. I think the the only thing cuter would have been to have videos for the songs.

DIY Wannabe

As if I didn't have enough on my plate I took on making over the ugly half bath in my bedroom! I thought it would be easy I mean I watch all those HGTV shows and I have the internet so smooth sailing right? WRONG! To start let me tell you the top half of the walls were wallpapered but seeing how I've seen wallpaper removed on tv I still thought it would be easy. So off to the store to get wallpaper remover spray. Come home get straight to work. some wallpaper comes off along with the top layer of drywall!! So I thought I won't use the spray I will just rip it off yeah right! That left me with the fuzzy backing now I'm lost cause I can only get this mess off when I wet it but doing that again more drywall coming off! I read online that if you take off the top layer of drywall all you need to do is mud it, sand it and prime it and then you're good to go. It's just so much more added work. I will let you know how that turns out. Who knew such a small bathroom would be this big of a headache!

Another update

Hey everyone! I been feeling alot better. Except I can't ever sleep! Had another doctor visit today everything seems good. She said they might give me another ultrasound at my next visit just to get a peek to make sure everything looks like it should. She said they can check my cervix to make sure it is the size it is suppossed to be. She said sometimes they can tell by looking at it if women might go into labor early. Sounds like something I want to do just so I can relax a little about it. Problem is I don't which doctor I will see next time and if they agree with her that I need an ultrasound.
