Minor Complications

We've been busy busy busy!! Josh painted the nursery and it looks so good. I don't have pics to post, but will work on getting them up soon. It looks beautiful!

I'm 33 weeks now and feeling it. Thumper is really moving and kicking all the time! I've had to cut back to 8 hour shifts at work and I don't like it! I don't want to be pregnant and helpless. I still want to go and do like always. I'm finding out more and more everyday that its not possible, its very hard for me. I'm using the time off that I could have with the baby now, since I'm required to work 24 hours a weekend and am unable to now. That part is kind of hard and sad, but I remind myself that when I do return that it is only 2 days a week and that is a blessing. The reason they restricted my hours is because I was having Braxton-Hicks (minor or "practice" contractions) every 5-10 minutes last week after working 12 hours. I went home and rested and they went away. Yesterday I had another really busy day in the ER, I worked 9.5 hours without a lunch break and had some more Braxton-Hicks last night. I get home and rest and they go away, but it is still pretty scary. I don't want this baby to come too early and not be healthy. Please pray that I will be able to continue working and that Thumper won't come too early.

On a better note, I had my first shower 2 weeks ago. I got some great stuff, a book, diapers, bath tub, bouncy seat, travel system, burp clothes, onesies, hats, blankets and more!! It was so much fun. I don't have pics to add right now, but I'll add them soon.
