Oh the joys of bedrest!

This morning I headed off to my Doctor for my routine visit knowing it wasnt going to be so routine this time around. The contractions had started back up to 2-3 min last night with another migraine so I knew I was in trouble. I decided to wait it out until my appointment this morning hoping not to end up back at the hospital. However once I arrived this morning the contractions were getting more intense and 2-3 min apart still. My caring Doctor was sad to hear I was having such problems. But he checked my cervix which was no longer thick. The first layer was 2 cm dialated but the inside was still closed which was good. But I was changing since Wed. So the doctor sent me to the hospital for another shot of Terbutaline to slow down my contractions and to had the baby monitored. After a few hours I was able to go back home! I was happy except for the terms. I had to go home with my own terbutaline and take it every 4 hrs and go on bed rest. This medicine is always hard on me at first bc it gives me so many headaches and migraines, but after a week or 2 I will adjust and be fine. But man does it help with the contractions so far. Im able to eat again bc my tummy isnt so upset anymore.
I must say Scott and I have handled it much better this time around. I still have many mixed feelings but I feel like I can manage. We are so blessed to have help nearby. Scott's Mom (Pam) is willing to be here whenever we need her since she only works cleaning apartments at OMS when there are conferences. Pam knows my girls schedules and how I like things done since weve been through all this before so it is nice to have her help. My mom is without a job right now so she is able to help out a little during the week as well when she is needed. My mom wont do too much but we are thankful when she is willing to help out. Our biggest problem this time around is that we are in the middle of a home renovation so Scott works a ton so we have to have someone here literally all day! But with the support we have we know it will all work out as long as I dont panic that things wont get done it time! (If you know me!) We pray that this baby will stay inside me until 38 weeks and we know it is possible. So for now I will spend the rest of my summer lying on the couch wishing that people would leave and let us have our family back! hahah!
