Another Update

So last night was another fun filled evening for us! I was kinda feeling yucky all day, but just brushed it off and went about my day as normal. Matt got stuck with a crappy route so he didn't get done till almost 8:00. Well, Jack woke up from his afternoon nap (which activity has drastically decreased lately) and he was a MONSTER! I think he must have had a tummy ache or something but, MAN SERIOUSLY!!!! Jack and I went to get Tyla, while he fussed most of the way. We didn't get far down the road when I looked back and Tyla was asleep. Well, when we got home, she didn't wake up so I got to carry her into the house. Let's just say she's not the lightest little thing and to carry her while contracting is quite the task. Like I said, Matt didn't get done till late, so I then had to carry her back into the car. She didn't budge. Jack was also being a stinker so I also had to carry him too.

After resting for a bit, it was time to go to bed. I had been having pretty hard contractions the whole night, but whatever, I'm kinda getting used to it. So after laying there for over an hour having pretty bad contractions, I decided to get in the bath tub. That didn't help. I got out and decided to start keeping track of how often they were happening. At this point it was 12:30. Well from 12:30-1:30 I had 10 contractions! 8 of which occurred between 12:30-1:08 am! So I decided to try to lay back down and see if that helped. Well, it did for like 20 minutes and I was able to fall asleep in that time. Then HOLY COW!! I started getting REALLY strong ones and LOTS of pressure!!! I began to freak out a bit thinking I was going to have my baby in my bed and he was gonna die because it's too soon. I am only 33 weeks for crying out loud!!!

I finally got up the nerve to wake up Matt and call my mom to come over and be with kids while he takes me to the hospital. At this point it was 2:30. So we get there and OF COURSE they totally slow down! They did give me a shot of Terbutaline and checked me. I am now dilated to a 2 and 80% effaced. (I was at a 1 on Monday) They monitored me for a bit and all I wanted was to come back home and get in bed since I had yet to sleep all night. I was still having some contractions even after the Terb, but they weren't as bad as they had been, so when the nurse came back in to check on me I lied to her when she asked if I was having anymore. I told her not really, in hopes of maybe getting to come home. She said, "really? I just saw 3 in the last 15 min!" "Oh, ya" was all I could say. So she gave me ANOTHER shot of terbutaline!! Half hour after that, she made me take 2 pills orally and then let me go home (well after increasing my dose to every 4 hours instead of every 6 hours. So now I get to wake up TWICE in the middle of the night to take it instead of just once!) Oh and did I mention BED REST!!! Ya, we'll see how well that goes with Jack AND Tyla at home!

So, here's to a wonderful 4 more weeks!! (Hopefully)

Oh ya, we didn't get home until 6 am and as soon as Matt shut the door after my mom left, Tyla's light came on!! Oh the joys!!!
