Waiting for a baby

So I spent the last week feeling pretty much miserable. My parents came up for the weekend and we (meaning my mom, the kids, and I - Adam was at work) ended up at my Grandma's house helping my Dad work on his "honey-do list." He and my brother Chad were trimming back these trees that really looked more like bushes because they were so overgrown and I felt like a dork just sitting there watching and using my pregnancy as a cop-out, so I jumped in to help by clearing away the branches and stacking them up. I woke up Sunday morning feeling less than great. Apparently my very pregnant hips don't appreciate doing that much bending over! I spent the rest of the week feeling very crampy, lots of pressure, more than normal amount of contractions, etc. I finally called my midwife's office Thursday morning and told them what had been going on and they told me to come in right away. Basically, I'm already dilating and having contractions so I'm parked on the couch as much as possible for the next two weeks so that we don't have a pre-mature baby. It's not exactly my idea of fun but I'd rather be obedient and not have a NICU bill. So, if anyone has any good movie recommendations, I'll have plenty of time for the next couple of weeks! =o)

I recommend:
Baby Mama (seriously hilarious)
Iron Man (I'm not into comic book stuff, but I LOVED it)
Fools Gold (OK-it's not that great but Matthew McConaughey has his shirt off for almost the whole movie since it takes place on a boat)
Lots of episodes of the Office (available on nbc.com)

Also, let Adam know he can come drop the kids off here anytime if you need to rest.

Good luck!
