Bedrest!

Well after a great weekend..... I wrapped Sunday up with a visit to the hospital. Last week was very busy for me and I felt pretty crappy with some contractions and some back aching. So, on Friday I explained this to my Dr. and she went ahead and checked me just in case I might be starting the labor process. We found out that I was dilated 1 cm which is no big deal .....but to call or come back and see her if I start to feel any different.


Well.... Sunday night I started to have more contractions and called a friend that is an OBGYN and she told me to go ahead and go to the hospital just to make sure. Well after staying there for three or four hours, they gave me an IV and a shot that stops contractions. They wanted me to follow- up the next day at my Dr.'s office. So that is just what I did. Still feeling pretty bad, I went to the Dr. and they hooked me up to monitors. We found out that I was still contracting every five minutes and I was sent back to the hospital for monitoring. Long story short.... I stayed for 24 hours and was sent home on bed rest.

I must say, as much as I hate "resting" , it has done a lot of good. I started to feel a little better and have even been sleeping better at night. I'm still not finished with the nursery but getting there. I'm waiting on the bedding and curtains, and then we should be able to wrap it up. My mom and mother-in-law have helped get everything ready from last minute purchases to getting my "bags" ready!

I go back to the Dr on Thursday for another ultrasound and check-up! Can't wait to hear how I'm progressing!
