Bedrest....sounded nice...and now it's not so nice.


I went into premature labor on Saturday, stayed overnight, given medication to stop the contractions, given shots to mature Alyssa's little lungs to she could breathe on her own...and then was sent home with a prescription of the med to stop my contractions. So-we wait until our appointment tomorrow to find out exactly what is going on: Is she coming early? Will I be induced? We did get to see her on the ultrasound machine though!! She was doing great! Her heartbeat was still stable in the 150's and she was not in distress of any sort! She's about 5 pounds, 5 ounces and is ready to get the party started apparently! I am 34 weeks today.


Bobby is doing great! Being in the hospital really made us aware of what we needed to finish and have done becuase-she could have come Saturday night and we would have only been semi-ready for her. But now, we're definately ready! Bags packed, sitting by the door-ready! He's been amazing taking care of me these past few weeks...months...years. I have been blessed to have him as my husband.
