My Hospital Visit. :(

Ok ok, I know I have been really bad lately about keeping up with our family blog, but since I am now on bed rest for a couple days why not catch you all up on what has been going on. I am officially done with my wedding season and can sit back and wait for baby Jones to come, which is a blessing because it has been a busy season. I am not too sure what the weather has been like in the rest of the US, but Portland Oregon got very icy and cold the last few days. I was sitting at my computer trying to finish up some last minute photo editing I had to do while my Sweet dog Cooper lay at my feet. He usually does so well when I am working and simply sleeps, but yesterday was not a typical day. He was whining like crazy so I thought I would take him for a quick walk and then get back to work.

We were about 20 minutes into our walk and I totally banana slipped on some ice, landing on my hip. As soon as I was able to get up I looked around to make sure no one saw my clumsy fall (thank goodness no one did). I started to feel really crampy and headed home to call Kody. We talked it over and we thought it was a good idea to call my OBGYN office just to be safe. They informed me that I needed to go to the hospital and be monitored for a couple hours to make sure everything was okay with our baby. 2 hours of monitoring turned into 4 hours and that turned into an over night stay at the St. Vincent Hospital Inn. The baby was great and her heart rate could not have been better; in fact every nurse we saw throughout the 24 hours said our baby looked really healthy and happy. Not only was she un-phased by my contractions, she seemed to enjoy them!

They were more concerned with the mini contractions I was having that would not stop. The Doc took all the info from the 24 hours and decided I have a irritable uterus and need to be on bed rest for a couple days. They said there will be no more traveling out of p-town until the baby comes, which means we have to miss thanksgiving with the fam :( but we want to do whats best for our baby.

So now you know the story and why we were in the hospital over night. I am feeling good and so is baby, and that is all we could ask for. Thank you Lord for keeping her in the oven a little longer. I hope next time we visit the hospital we get to bring home a healthy baby girl :)

Not the best picture of me, but hey I am 34 weeks pregnant what do you expect!
