marne's adventures

ok, so i don't have any pics to post, but i thought i would fill everyone in on our situation. last wednesday, i went to the hospital having contractions 3 minutes apart. i was only 25 weeks, so they frown on that. anyway, after being monitored for a while, i was given 2 shots of terbutaline, and sent home with a prescription for more. we thought that would give me some relief for a few months, but alas, it did not. about 3 days is all i got. so on tuesday i couldn't stand it anymore, and went back to hospital. this time, they gave me a high dose of motrin, and did an ultrasound to measure the amniotic fluid level. i am on a motrin regiment now, but it is risky for the baby. i get to have ultrasounds every week to make sure she is ok, and start the nst (non-stress tests) next week because of the 2 vessel cord thing. can i just say, i will be very happy to survive these next few months!!! i am as big as a normal woman about to deliver, and feel bigger every day. something about the 4th baby, maybe?? thankfully, my mother in law, sandy, is here, and saving the day once again. she takes care of the family better than i do i think!! so, here's to constant bedrest again everyone!!
