8 weeks and counting down

Do you think Aspen looks happy?
So new news on the baby front. I was put on bed rest yesterday after I went into labor and delivery for contractions. I started having contractions/ Braxton Hicks on Wednesday and they still hadn't stopped Thursday morning, so they doctors office had me go to the hospital. They monitored my contractions and the good news was that I was not insane and imaging things, but I was having contractions. They gave me a shot which left me really gittery, but stopped the contractions and I was sent home. The baby is doing great and I am not dilated, so that's all good. I meet with the doctor on Tuesday to see how I do over the weekend, but for now I am stuck at home on the couch or bed. Mom flew down this morning and will stay until Monday night to help. I still have so much to do and feel bad because Madison keeps asking me to go do things, but I'm not allowed to leave the house. Hopefully, once I reach 34 weeks I can continue life and not be on bed rest, but for now we want to keep this little guy in.
I can tell you that I will be so happy to be done being pregnant. I don't sleep well at night anymore. I wake up anxious just wondering how things are going to play out and all the things I need to do. Hoping I don't have any more contractions and have to go back to the hospital, but we are all well and hanging in here.
