It's been awhile since we've posted.... mostly because life has thrown some surprises at us! As of last Thursday, 3/26/09, I have been on strict BEDREST. Today is Day 9 and here is a factual recap of life over the past week:
- To start, everything is stable..... things look fine....... baby's quite healthy
- We've spent two nights in the hospital this past week. To our regret, we're now quite practiced at arriving at labor & delivery and are getting to know the nurses very well. Each time I've been admitted, my contractions are 2-3 minutes apart......
- I'm technically experiencing pre-term labor, although the contractions I have are not affecting my cervix at this time. I've been put on medication (breathine) in an effort to quiet my uterus down.
- The doctors have no indication of why this started. Everything looks completely normal (which is good)!
- I'm now limited to lying on my side 24/7, either in bed or on the couch. I have bathroom priveleges (thank God), but that's the extent of allowable excitement on my feet.
We love this baby so, so much and are doing everything we can to keep it safe. It's tough and certainly not what anyone wishes for, but we're taking it one week at a time. Keep growing little one!
