So we are almost to 34 weeks and we are so anxious about the weeks to come. Not knowing what will happen and when it will all happen is stressful and exciting all at the same time. On Thursday I woke up at 5 AM with horrible pain in my belly, it lasted for about 4 hours and then the cramping pain started. I knew it wasn't contractions because it was a different kind of pain. So I just thought I had over done it the day before and decided I would just relax and lay down for the day. After 11 hours the pain hadn't gotten any better and then after thinking about it and I couldn't remember the last time I felt the baby move. So I started to get a bit nervous with the combination pain and no baby moving, I decided to call the doctors office. They decided to have me come in for some tests. So thanks to our sweet next door neighbor who volunteered to take Paislee for us as we headed up to the hospital. As soon as we got there they hooked the machines up and hearing the baby's heartbeat was the best sound ever. After some testing it came back I had an infection, which was probably the cause of my cramping pain. Then they did another test called a FFN, basically this test will let the doctors know if I would NOT have the baby in the next two weeks. So you want a negative result, and it is 99% accurate that you will not have the baby in the next two weeks. Well, I got a positive! Which is very confusing because it means I could have the baby in the next two weeks but I also might not. So really the only thing helpful is a negative result with that test. I am trying to stay positive and not complain because we have wanted this baby for so long. But it is getting really hard, I hurt so bad and I contract all day long which makes me so uncomfortable that I want to cry. I don't like to be negative but I am done and I just want this baby to get here healthy and soon!!! Even though I am almost 34 weeks and the doctors won't stop my labor, Chad and I would feel more comfortable if the baby was closer to 36 weeks. So with that said, will it be a boy or girl what's your guess? Chad is the only one who thinks it is girl, everyone else thinks it is a boy!

I'm sorry this has been a frustrating and scary event! Hang in there. The baby will be here soon enough. Just take it easy and keep her cookin' as long as you can! PS...have no clue what he or she will be!!! But I think Paislee will be a big sister to a baby girl!
Scary!! I'm so sorry you are going through this! I've had 2 babies at 36 weeks, one was perfectly fine, the other spent 3 weeks in the NICU, every baby and every situation is different, I will be praying for you and her! ;)
Hey so did they give you meds for your infection? I don't want to freak you out or anything, but I had an infection in my membranes, which caused me to go into early labor with Easton my first son who passed away, I was only 26 weeks so you are a lot further along than me..but just want to make sure they took care of everything for you! Good luck!
Oh my hell Amanda you poor thing!! I feel ya.. You want the baby so bad but its such a pain in the BELLY to get it here! Your pain is much worse then mine though.. I hope at least your delivery is simple. Water breaks, baby slides out and wa la! Lol. It makes you wonder why its so difficult just to have a child when thats what God wants.. Families. Very confusing. Worth it of course but you need a freakin trophy for this one girl! Ha. Im with Chad! My guess its a GIRL!
Amanda I'm so sorry! Being at this point is a uncomfortable enough without all your extra complications! We are keeping you in our prayers! I hope things get easier! My guess is a healthy little boy? :)
