If you have read Dust's blog, then you know that I was in the hospital yesterday. I have never been admitted to a hospital before. It can be scary. Especially, when they ask questions like, "Do you have a living will?" Or, "Are you an organ donor?" I know those are just routine questions, but still.
I realized yesterday that you really have to take your own life into your hands. The squeeky wheel gets the grease. I had a hard time convincing two nurses on the phone that I was having contractions every 5 minutes. They said it was just Braxton Hicks and just wrote me off. I finally got an appointment and the nurse said, "Wow, it was just like you said." You really are having contractions every 5 minutes." "Duh," is my immediate thought. It was interesting being hooked up to a fetal monitor. The baby's heartbeat was fine. The graph that showed my contractions had consistant spikes every 5 minutes. The good thing through all of this was that I had not dialated. Because I was not going into active labor, the hospital released me after about 4 hours. I was dehydrated and I have a UTI, so that is the likely cause of contractions.
I am on bed rest until Monday. My doctor will re-evaluate me then. I can do light activity around the house. I plan on finalizing my hospital bag with everything. I am glad that I will probably have a little more time to get prepared for baby. There was a real chance that I could have had the baby yesterday. The nurses had prepared me mentally for that scenerio.
Keep me in the little one in your prayers!

I'm praying for the both of you. I'm looking forward to meeting my nephew... but I know it's best if he can wait just a little while longer!
He must get being early from you... because it's certainly not from Dust!!!
Yes G, we're all praying for you here too. I wasn't "dissin'" you either! Everytime I tried to comment blogger was down!
I hope you are able to relax and in a weird way enjoy some of the down time and the ultimate (dust serving you!:)) Is it still bed rest from the recliner?! :):)
G-good to here everything is alright. You should live up this down time to the fullest, because you probably won't have time like this for quite a while.
Besides, Dust need to get in gear. I was telling me how he was looking forward to cooking and couldn't wait. Maybe, you should give him a practice run.
About cooking: Yeah. I can't wait. (No sarcasm here.)
About the baby: I hope we can wait a few weeks.
Life is really changing, isn't it? Be careful and be okay! Prayers.
Yes, Golden, I had prayer coverage for you over this direction and up to Colorado!
Sorry I hadn't been able to comment to you earlier...but I have been praying for you ever since T called me.
Love you all!
