Day 11

Hey everyone! I'm 28 weeks tomorrow! YEA!
Babies get measured again this week, so I'll let everyone know. Hoping for close to 3 lbs.

Last night was a crazy night. Starting at 4pm I started having contractions 5 minutes apart, so I called the nurse in and told her something was different. They monitor me twice a day; once in the morning and once in the evening. But yesterday they started at 4pm and didn't take me off. They started and IV and put me on strict bedrest and that was tough, but I made it through the night. After the IV they were 30 minutes apart and the contractions stopped at around 7am this morning. I was able to go the restroom today and that was it! Today the contractions started around 4pm again today, but I asked for the IV right away and they have been pretty mellow.

My doctor came to visit today and said that if the contractions would have caused cord compression she would have taken them last night. She's glad they stopped when they did. She doesn't want me to spiral into bad contractions and go into labor, so they are continuing to watch me closely. I know I'm in really good hands. Now that I am staying in bed I have officially lost all energy I had; I now breath really hard just walking to the bathroom 10 steps away. It's a workout!

Trey and Quade came to visit. They came early enough to see the North Central Baptist Annual Dog Costume Parade. Quade said his favorite was the guy who dressed as a big pig and his dog was a little pig. There were all kinds of costumes. I didn't get to go, but I enjoyed the pictures. We colored and played with stickers. He ate a cupcake, of course, along with my lunch brownie dessert. He watched the helicopter come in (the helipad is right outside my window - too cool) and we watched Handy Manny together in bed. We had a great day.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
