Happy Birthday Ryan

Ryan turned six last Sunday! Another birthday has come and gone and I can't believe my little baby boy is 6! We had a great birthday weekend! Ryan's Grandma Barb, Grandpa Hoss, cousins Kaleb and Kaden came down to visit! We went to the NASA space center in Houston. The boys had so much fun! After the space center, we drove down to the beach for an evening swim. The water was great and we all enjoyed the cooler weather! We had a mud fight and a treasure hunt!
Here are some pictures of our fun weekend!

We got a new dog! He was abandoned on the side road and we decided to bring him home. Ryan and Drew LOVE him. This is our 3rd stray we've taken home, looks like third times a charm! We've named him Turbo because he runs through the house playing with the boys!

All work and no play....

So it seems that Miss Abigail Grace is working very hard with little results! On Friday I began having contractions. I did all the stuff they say to do, drink water, rest, lay on your left side. She was determined though. So off to the hospital we went.
Contracts were 3 mins apart with just enough intensity to make me uncomfortable. After lots of labs, ultrasounds, cervical checks, and IV's all her hard work was not paying off. I was only 1cm dilated and 25% effaced. One lab came back guaranteeing us she wouldn't deliver in 14 days. So with that the docs gave me some meds to stop the contracts and sent me home later that night. Since then I've had daily contractions, but nothing organized. I'm exhausted and STARVING! (last night I ate two steaks, eggs, potatos, and pasta....in the span of an hour!!!)
I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, and hopefully all this discomfort will mean she's made a little bit more progress. I'm ok if she holds off until 35 weeks (the end of July) but if this continues I'm hoping she'll make an early apperence!
Thankfully, family is in town so I've got lots of help!!!!
Kind of sucks having all this discomfort knowing there is little results! Here's to hoping all this drama isn't related to her personality! :)
