So after being on meds & bed rest for 24 hours, I was still hurting. I called the doctor Wed morning & they said to go to L&D, so to the hospital we went. My mother-in-law drove 2 hours to watch Rylee for a bit. We waiting about 45 minutes for a room, & then finally they started hooking me up to the monitor. Baby looked & sound great, & I was still having contractions. So after a while they gave me a shot of the same medicine I had been on, checked to see if I was dilated & a test to determine if I was in pre-term labor. I am dilated 1cm & tested negative for pre-term labor. My contractions slowed down, & after 5 hours..I was sent home with orders of a week of strict bed rest & meds every 4 hours . My mom & sister drove 4 hours to take care of me, they stayed through today, my daddy was missing my mom like crazy & my sis was also ready to see her beautiful family! I am beyond grateful to them, the occupied Rylee (not an easy job), cooked, clean my house, and were constantly making sure I was comfortable. I am truly blessed. :) :)
So here I am, my 6th day of bed rest my 10th day of contractions & trying to keep my mind from wondering to the "what if's". I know that God is in control & she will arrive in God's perfect timing & not a moment to soon..,but she sure is making a little statement with all of this excitement, keeping me on my toes, ( well in the bed..lol), & I can only imagine her little personality!
Rylee is good, she was a bit emotional this morning when my mom & sister left...very clingy to me. It's a lot to process for her, & crying is her way to express that. I just love her to pieces & wish I could play with her..I miss it!!
My hubs- I know it's hard for him..I have been sick almost this entire pregnancy & it has to be wearing on him too, so please keep him in your prayers. He's my caretaker for the next few days. His mom will take Rylee Mon & Tues, ( she's only ever stayed 1 night away from us, & we were 30 minutes away, but now we will be 2 hours, so pray for us, please). Keith will be back at work & I'll be in the part of my house where I have easy access to everything!
I just want to thank everyone that is praying for me & keeping up with how I'm feeling! I completely appreciate it & feel very loved!
I have an appointment on Wed to see how I am doing & we will go from there.
And to my sweet baby girl, hang on just a little longer....we just have 68 more days to go...& we are all so very excited to welcome you into our family!! Love, Mommy
Oh, & if you notice in the second photo, I have "no" pillow..they couldn't find one until the last 30 minutes until I checked out??!!!
