Not fun.....
I am not excited to make this post, but wanted to document what was happening. So, on Wednesday I called my doctor because I was having some pressure in my lower amdominal area. I wasn't going to call but just decided to after my lunch and was planning on being back at school before my kids came back from music. Little did I know, I won't be going back to work at all this year.

I was having contractions at the doctors office and they took me directly to the hospital. I was a sobbing mess! Called Brad and he came as soon as he could. They started me on an IV (took 3 times) and started nifedipine to stop the contractions. Everything with baby looked good so that was my only saving grace.

The contractions didn't stop right away and they monitored me through the evening. I was dialated to a one and they were worried about the length of my cervix. After a VERY long sleepless night, the next morning my doctor said I was going to the U of M because Mankato doesnt have the resources for baby's before 34 weeks. I was off in an ambulance by 9 and up to the cities. That was the longest ride to the cities ever- even though the drivers were super nice and said it only took 35 min!

Brad and my mom came up shortly. Everything settled down and I had a great Thursday afternoon and night. Baby had it's steriods (painful rear shots for mom) so that is good. Dad also came up in Thursday and it was very comforting to have the people I love the most by my side! After not eating for 30 plus hours I was excited for some food- until.........meatloaf was placed in front of me! YUCK. But, I did get a shower on Friday morning!

The plan was to go home on Monday and have strict bed rest, until last night when I started having more contractions. So, now we are on a day to day basis. I feel very safe here knowing they are the best to take care of preterm babies. They said at 30 weeks I am "normal term" to them. A NICU nurse came and talked to us, which was very emotional, but good information.

Doctors say to eat alot and get lots of water~ Brad is my favorite nurse here! He has been AMAZING! He keeps me calm in times of emotional breakdowns! We are excited for each day gone by as being another growing day for the baby. Keep praying Baby Weber stays right where it is for several more weeks!
