Tick, Tock....

The day after I stopped the Procardia, I thought I was on the fast track to a new baby. I had some contractions during the day, but that night I had so many I couldn't sleep. I had not just the typical big contractions, but these were more crampy, more painful, and the pain came from lower down and wrapped around my back. They were more like the real deal. The next morning, I felt better. I expected to get bad again last night, but no... I had a pretty calm night! There doesn't seem to be a lot of rhyme or reason to them. I guess I'll just cross my fingers for another week!! If I can make it to Saturday (just 5 more days), my little Olive could avoid the NICU completely!

Mom came over yesterday and tackled my list of things I wanted to do but couldn't. It feels so much better to have Olive's clothes put away and to have some sort of organization! I had all these things that I wanted to do, and mom was a great "me"! Mom took the kids in her car, and for the second time in a little over a week, Ivey got carsick in her car. Luckily, it happened at the end of the trip. The boys handled the projectile vomit better than expected. Mom told me that Addison said (in a very funny voice), "We are under the spell of the stench of Ivey's guts!" Silly boy. With his constantly funny use of the English language, I think he would be a good writer!

On a different note, both Ivey and Addison have cut teeth in the past couple weeks. Ivey now has all 4 of her first molars. She handled the whole thing so well that I didn't even realize it had happened! Addison has a new molar in the back, which was a total surprise to him. I hope we continue to have such easy teething experiences!
