Pray for us to keep our little boy in the oven for at least 3-more weeks. Stephanie is now officially on maternity leave. Here is a little run down of what has been happening this last week.
Contractions have started last Tuesday night and then have been continuing since. Mostly irregular though Wednesday brought on regular timeable contractions which sent Stephanie straight to the doctor. Baby's heartrate is 150bpm, moving (rolling) and belly is measuring 32 weeks so all is good - except for contractions. At this time they weren't contemplating bed rest but just to take it easy and put my feet up whenever possible.
Friday, contractions were again ever present. Just after lunchtime, the Doc had decided that bed rest was necessary.
Saturday sent us to the hospital. Advanced warning - may be too much info for some.... I was feeling yucky and at lunchtime has a bloody, mucus discharge. We were so scared that this was the day we would deliver our little boy. Kurt managed to get us to the hospital in what would normally be a 30 minute trip to about 15-20 minutes. They hooked me up to all the monitors and started all the checks. I kept having contractions though they weren't showing on the monitor. Cramping started as well. They ran a bunch of tests and rulled out my water breaking, urinary tract infection, bladder infection, yeast infection and amniotic fluids were good. They didn't exactly know what was happening. After 5 hours, we were sent home on strict bed rest with only bathroom privleges and to go to Dr. Bochantin on Monday (moving our Thursday appointment ahead).
So here we are on Sunday, all lounging in the recliners or on the couch watching "The Lion King". We'll post more following the doctor visit (we'll get to see the baby again and see how big he is right now!).
