More contractions.

Just thought I would give you all an update and let you know I am still here and hugely pregnant. Nothing much is new except that the terb shot is becoming a regular thing with me again. Once I started procardia twice a day, my need for the terb decreased tremendously, but now that the babies are getting bigger and bigger, the contractions are increasing. Luckily, the terbutaline works well for me and they don't have to send me to L&D for magnesium. I hear that stuff is awful!

I am not sure how much longer I will go before the babies are born, not because of the increased contractions but because I am feeling a lot more lower pressure. I think Tyler is ready to make his grand entrance into the world. I pretty much have to stay lying down all day - it is even difficult to sit up for a short time to eat. I am laying down even as I type this.

I got up this morning feeling better and more rested than I have felt probably since I got here. Yesterday, I got an air mattress put on top of my bed, which made a huge difference. I wish somebody would have told me about these earlier, they beat the heck out of the egg crates I've been using for the past 5 weeks.

I wonder if I may be nesting because when I got up this morning, I had this sudden urge to clean out my refrigerator and organize my non-perishable snacks. Maybe its nothing...probably my borderline OCD. :)

I had a few visitors over the weekend. My MIL, Jami and Kim stopped by and brought me lunch. Thank you both for coming by to visit and bringing me lunch. Sorry if the visit was a drag for you, but it was sweet that you both joined me in my cry-fest. ha ha.... My friends, Lindsay and Julie came by and brought us some delicious dessert snacks. Thank you for coming by and bringing the snacks, it was fun visiting with you. My inlaws came by again after staying the night at our house to take care of Lacy and some chores. Thank you for all that you do...the cleaning, laundry, dog sitting and thanks for the beautiful cross.

Craig stayed nearly all weekend, which was so nice. He spent the night Saturday night and I felt so much better to have him here. Although, Sunday, I felt very nervous and uneasy. I don't know if it was because I didn't feel good and was having some out of the norm aches and pains or if I was just paranoid. I keep fearing that I will go into labor while Craig isn't here and that he won't get here until after they have already taken me to L&D. I am sure he will get here before they start the c-section, but I would rather him be here before they take me over there to prep me. I think part of my problem is when Craig is able to spend more than a couple of hours here on weekends as opposed to during the week, I get so used to him being here, so when it is time for him to leave, I get scared and start having a lot of anxiety.

I have my all time favorite nurse today, so I feel much more comfortable and less anxious. Hopefully this will keep up. I will blog again in a few days and give you an update from my doctors appointment on Thursday.
