We had a scare on early Sunday morning. The barometric pressure dropped (along with taking Sudafed, the ok kind for pregnant ladies) and contractions continued for 3 hours. We went to the hospital so they would stop the contractions. As they were monitoring me the contractions came as close as 3-4 minutes. Luckily I had just been given my 2nd steroid shot for the babies.
They gave me trebutaline after an hour and monitored me again for another 1.5 hours. The contractions then slowly stopped. They sent me home with more medicine and the contractions are maybe every hour if I get up and do things. So I am on a bed rest. Things have subsided and I have had a cold for the past 4 days. Already having a cold and being pregnant makes it hard to sleep. I can't take very many medicines since I am taking the trebutaline.
I am hanging in there and have a good amount of help. Rachel (my sister) came over on Sunday to give me emotional and physical help. Troy has been awesome along with Barbara. Brittney is coming today with Lili so that will be a good playmate for Marissa.
I am just over 33 weeks along and they want me to last about another 3 weeks if I can. Everything is fine with me and babies, they say we look great. The steroid shots help the babies lung develop so if they were to born this early it would be ok but not as good if we can hold off a couple of weeks. The babies estimate: girl-over 4lbs and boy- 3.75lbs. We will keep you posted.
