Daddy's home, just in time too!

So I've pretty much been filling my days with cooking, cleaning, baby shower stuff and work. I've been trying to get the house in order not just for the birth but also for Husband's return from Afghanistan. Saturday morning I had gone to store to pick up a few things to make chicken taquitos to freeze. About noon I went to the bathroom to pee and surprise- there went my mucous plug! I wasn't too worried about it but just decided to lay around for the rest of the day just in case I started to feel anything off. About 7 I got up to pee for the millionth time and there was bright red blood in my underwear and on the TP. So of course off to L&D I went! I wasn't having any contractions or pain but of course as soon as they hooked me up to the monitor they started! I couldn't feel them but apparently I had a few good ones in the first hour. So they ordered a FFN swab, it came back positive. Ultrasound came in and took a look around to get an estimated weight, she was about 4 pounds so that was nice to hear- even though I know those can be off. Then they did a transvaginal and lo and behold my cervix is super short- only about a 1. They gave me a steroid shot with orders to come get the next on monday since it was early Sunday by this time. So I've been on strict bedrest since then! The first day was kinda nice, just laying around watching tv. Since then its been pretty lame. I went yesterday and got the second shot and followed up with my smokin hot OB. Basically, since I'm almost 34 weeks and they are happy with her size and all her monitorings they aren't going to do anything to keep her from coming besides bedrest. He says with the FFN being positive labor usually starts in 2 weeks but that doesn't mean it will happen for sure. So for now just lay on bedrest and keep coming in for the weekly biophysical profiles and the MFM appointments. The hospital here that I'm delivering at has a level ll NICU and a level lll 30 minutes up the road so I know we're in good hands. I just want my lil cupcake to get a little more icing on her before she arrives! And finally- Daddy's home! he's been so cute with my belly and she was bouncing all around last night so he got to feel some pretty good kicks. He has been really good so far with helping with the bedrest and fetching of meals and drinks. Tomorrow he's going to install the car seats and put together a few things I got at my baby shower..I'm sure I'll learn all sorts of new colorful phrases!
