And all vacations must come to an end...

Our trip to St. Louis was all we expected and more. Its a nice city with LOTS of free things to do! Thats always nice! Good food, extremely nice people, and lovely accomadations.
We got a GREAT rate at a super nice hotel down town from hotwire.com. I highly recommend it!
We did more walking in 4 days then I have done in a LOOONG time! It felt soo good! Almost 90 degrees every day with not a drop of rain. Hot, but very nice.
We went to the Arch, and paid our $16 for both of us to get in the little 'egg' to take us to the top. If you've been there, you know what I'm talking about. If not, literally imagine an EGG that you and 4 other people have to sit in. Your knees have to interlock with the person sitting next to you, and you have to bend your head forward because of the tilting of the wall behind you. There is no standing up...or anything close to it.
It is a 4-5 minute ride to the top and you can stay up top as long as you want. Then, another 4-5 minute ride down.
Well....that might sound fine to many of you, but for people who are claustrophobic (yes, I'm quite sure I spelled that wrong) it is NOT something that would come easy. We waited in line, and luckily it looked to be just Dave and I in our 'egg'. The doors opened, and the people came out and I couldn't breath. I went in quick and sat down and imagined the door closing us in. I about hyperventilated. I jumped out! Tears in my eyes! I felt like a freak! haha! I could not, WOULD not do it! I sent Dave up alone and wasted the $8, but seriously if I would have gone in there I would have done come crazy fit and probaby passed out.
The pictures he took are great though!

~~~~~~For Christine...We went to the zoo, casino, the 'loop', Grant farms, the brewery tour, union station, meremac caverns, the space museum, Hmmmm...I think I'm forgetting a few. We also stayed at Omni on Pine street...by Olive? Do you know where that is? 10th street I think?
We also ate at a few local places, our anniversary dinner we ate at a resturant at 'the hill' (Favazza's?)~~~~~

Then, Tuesday evening something sortof scary happened. I was having some cramping, so we took the afternoon off and we just sat and layed in bed. I started spotting, but it could have been from intercourse.
It was only a little spotting, and besides a little cramping, I felt fine so we decided to get some supper. I felt weird the whole time in my abdomen. We got home and crawled into bed to watch some TV and I started contracting. Every 7 minutes.
A little reminder, I started preterm labor with Logan at 26 weeks. I am now 24 1/2. I sortof freaked, but I knew some things to do. I had dave run down and get me 2 large glasses of water and drank them, and layed on my left side. The contractions weren't painful, just obvious, and the baby was moving around like crazy. Eventually, they slowed down, and I fell asleep. I guess they weren't anything major because I woke up and they were gone. I have though, since then had some more cramping. Not contracting, just cramping.
What started all of my problems with Logan was Bacterial Vaginosis. Apparently it is common in pregnancy, as a lot of my pregnant friends have had it, but it can cause problems. Preterm labor, PROM, etc....
I think I might have it. Just a huntch I'm having.
I'm calling the doctor tomorrow to make an appt to get checked for it.
So, while I know I probably should have gone to the ER in MO, I just didn't because it was 10pm on our last night there, we were getting up early for a 6+ hr drive...and I truely felt all was fine.
If it wasn't, I'm sure I'd know by now, right?
So anyway, we got back at 3:00ish, and waited for the longest 45 minutes to see Logan! (still napping at Grandma's)
I swear he grew a foot! I got lots of hugs and kisses and loving! I missed him SOOO much!
We played with some new toys he got (new-garage sale new!) and went out to eat.
It was a great night!
I'll let you know what the doctor says! :)
Glad to be back! Can't wait to check up on you all this week!
