An...intersting day
Ah, so each child had to have a different yet exciting story about how they came into the world. Mine seem to think that means hospital stays. Lol, apparently Logan is no different. On Sunday I had false labor all day and couldn't decide weather to go in or not. Am I in labor or not? Yes, no, yes, no back and forth all day. I ended up just going and having a tour of the labor and delivery unit, that way if in the middle of the night I decided to go in, I would know where to go and what to expect. Sunday came and went and then Monday came and went. Still doing ok, still wondering. On Tuesday I was supposed to work all day. I went and I was having contractions all day. I just tried to ignore them, I had a very busy day. Around 2 I finally decided to call my doctor and see what she said. She said come in and let me check you. So I left work early and ran the girls to a friends and went to the doctor. So I got my strep b test (just in case) and she checked me. My water hadn't broken and I was only dilated to a one. She sent me to the hospital for IV therapy (I needed more fluids) and to monitor my contractions. Long story short, I was in labor, they stopped the labor, and sent me home on bed rest. The meds they gave me at the hospital were HORRIBLE my whole body felt wrong and I couldn't think clearly, were just a few of the side effects. Last night was no fun. The meds finally wore off at 3 this morning. I just took the at home meds that are a little different, we'll see how they affect me, but so far so good. I have one week of bed rest and then she'll put me on regular activities and no meds (yay!) I will then be 36 weeks and if the baby comes fine if not even better (doctors words not mine). So one weeks penance then I'm free, yay. The countdown begins today. Hopefully my babies don't go crazy, they like staying at home almost as much as me. I asked Ryan this morning if taking the girls to reading time at the library would count as bed rest, he didn't think so. This may be harder than I thought. Lol, good times. The girls are being great today and haven't been to upset that we haven't left yet. Course it's only 8:15, but usually we've all gone insane by now and I've found some excuse to leave early. Wish us luck (mostly my girls) for this week, and keep baby Logan in your prayers. Pray that when he comes he'll be healthy.
