Baby Update

It has been a while and a lot has happened so here is a condensed update:
AnnMarie is doing well and continuing to grow.
She also is continuing to show her stubborn side already:
  • Last week when the doctor tried to check her head position she kicked him so hard even he jumped. He called it an 8.2 on the richter scale.
  • Today at the doctor she wouldn't turn so we could hear her heart beat. (It did get my heart beat racing just for a minute though)
  • Also, she refuses to move for anyone, including me most of the time, except for her Dad. You can poke, rub, or even wap (as Grandpa Fry tried the other day), but unless Tyson is talking or touching her she won't budge. I think I'm in trouble...I'll always be outvoted on everything by Ty and our Daddy's girl. :)
June 15th I called my doctor to check up on a potential infection I thought my be dangerous to AnnMarie and was told I was in labor and to go to the hospital. Even though I doubted, I went and sure enough. Luckily we were able to stop the labor and I am taking pills every 4 hours to keep it at bay. As long as I take them on time and stay hydrated they work great, the contractions don't come very strong and she can continue to develop until week 37 (July 21st) when I'll come off the medication and we will just see what happens from there.
Until then we just are continuing to try to put the house together and baby ready. We are learning all about pregnancy during the hot months and taking it one day at a time. We are very excited to meet our daughter though!
