28 Week Pregnancy Update

Well. its been a long week this week. Thursday evening started having mild contractions pretty frequently without any relief so I called my OB and off to Labor and Delivery I go. They hooked me up to the monitor and my contractions were coming pretty frequent. Everything else looked good - baby was handling the contractions very well. So I got my shot of brethine (to stop contractions - which it did) and then got to go home. The doctor sent me home on terbutaline every 6 hours to help with contractions until 32 weeks. I stayed off my feet Friday and Saturday. By Saturday afternoon the contractions had slowed down a lot even though they had not stopped completely.
Got up Sunday Morning felt pretty good (it was a great feeling to stand up without having contractions instantly) so I went to church. Half way through Sunday School the contractions started back - Got back home got back in the bed.
Called the doctor this morning and they wanted me to come in and get checked out again so they hooked me up to the machines and I was still have mild contractions so they increased my terbutaline and gave me a progesterone shot. I will stay on the shots until I have the baby and have been put on bed rest until Friday morning when I go back to get another shot. We will take it day by day at this point.
Hopefully by Friday we can get things quieted down and I will be able to go about my daily activities by this weekend.
I'm doing good - I am not concerned God is in control of everything that happens so there is no point in me worrying or getting stressed cause it doesn't do me or the baby any good!

Snow Storm of 2010 :)

Well the snow was nice while it lasted but I am sure glad it's gone. Gavin had a blast in the snow. He made snow angels, ate some snow, sledded and rode the 4 wheeler. It was hard a times to get him to come inside. I enjoyed watching Kyle act like a little kid throwing snow balls. I was a little sad I couldn't really participate. However, I would hate to have to deal with this day in and day out.
Madison on the other hand was not interested and was quite miserable. She didn't last long (maybe 5 to 10 minutes) before she was screaming and crying to go in and warm her feet and hands under warm water. She is such a diva.
