> [@MLS](#): > > Okay, it’s been 3 more days – Are you still doing your best to rest? It’s been pretty good. My doctor agrees the Procardia isn’t necessary at this point, and just to keep it on hand if we decide I do need it. It is really mostly if I have already started progressing and we are trying to get a few more weeks gestation while of bed rest. Since I am not on bed rest yet and there has been no cervical compromise, it appears as of right now it is just really annoying Braxton Hicks. I have a followup tomorrow morning. In other news, this little peanut in my belly is one active little tike. I feel her all over the place most of the day and night. I hope this isn’t a sign of a cranky, restless baby. :eek: ---

So now you’re at about 32 weeks! Baby’s getting bigger (and from what you say, stronger) every day. ---

I know, only about 6 weeks to go. It’s a sprint to the finish now. The marathon is over!!! ---

I’m picturing her as one of those big zucchinis left on the plant to get bigger and bigger – go zucchini go! ---

Everything went great at the OB. I am good to go, no bed rest. I don’t have to take the Procardia, and I can take a weekend trip to see my mom and grandpa. I want to go with the family because I don’t know when the next time will be to see them before the baby is born. It’s only a 3 hour drive. I am excited! I miss my mommy 🙂 ---

Now that I am full term, this thread is pretty much null and void. Now it is just a waiting game. If anyone is interested I will start a new thread once the little lady is here! Thanks for the support everyone 🙂 ---
