Favorite Moment This Week: 
That my mom has spent the past week with me unfortunately it was because..

Last Tuesday, I was having major contractions & thought I was in labor. 

I was admitted to the hospital & given more medicine 

to stop the contractions as well as for a UTI.

At the time I was 3 cm dilated.

My mom flew in that night & has been here ever since. 

She has cleaned my house, helped me reorganize my kitchen,

 rearrange my furniture and exercised almost everyday. 

Wednesday, I also went into the hospital due to contractions again.

Thursday, was probably the worst day.

Friday, I had a doctor's appointment & there was no change.

So thankful my mom has been here to help
& that Mr. Army Man's chain of command has been so understanding.

Hopefully this baby boy will arrive before my mom has to leave. 

We are so ready!!

Looking Forward To:  

Holding my sweet baby boy in my arms & kissing his chubby cheeks.

Thanks for reading!

Hope y'all have a great week!

*Just a reminder I am posting this one week behind so I can recap my week in full.
