Hey Baby Joey -
Were you bored in there and decided to give your mommy & daddy a heart attack? Need to be a little ornery since you never cause me any morning sickness? On Saturday morning, I was up at 5 to go to the bathroom and I couldn't get back to sleep. At 6, I started getting contractions and they were coming back-to-back. You were going crazy moving. I called the dr. answering service but we don't like the dr. on call so I didn't leave a message. They lasted about 90 minutes before they stopped. I figured if they kept up or if I felt any sort of movement on my cerclage, we wouldn't have a choice but to go to the hospital. The rest of the day, daddy let me be lazy in bed while he watched your brother. There was still a lot of stuff going on in there but no more contractions. For the first time since we got your cerclage, I did a mental countdown to 24 weeks and we have quite a few weeks to go.
I think that I caused it by overdoing it. On Friday night, I ran about a block because I left my wallet in the car. I think that was a bit too much for you to handle! Needless to say, I am going to be taking it easy for the rest of the time. I tried to call the dr to see if we could get in this week but he is all booked up so we will have to wait until next Thursday.
We did get big news on Friday! When we were pregnant with Elijah, we found out that he was going to have a new BFF born right after him. Now, baby Jake is here and they are finally learning to play together. Turns out, you are going to have a BFF born right after you too! In September, a new Lang baby will enter the family & you will be able to have a BFF right out of the gate :) Our cousin Brandi is going to be a mommy! Both your daddy & I are so excited for her and she is hoping that she created a little ballerina :)
Well buddy, let's calm down a bit in there and keep cooking for a lot longer! No more anxiety attacks are needed! We are hitting that phase where I can't sleep so I will be crabby enough without worrying about you making an early entrance.
