Brian and I spent the night in the hospital last night monitoring the baby and contractions. Woke up at 1 with contractions that were between 2 and 3 minutes apart for about an hour. Brian gave our OB a call and then headed to the hospital. We got the works there with exams, monitors, and shots(which made me feel like I drank 100 cups of coffee).
The monitor was showing the contractions so they decided to give me two shots to slow down the contractions, which seems to work quickly. Our little girl is doing just fine, heart rate is good and she has plenty of amniotic fluid to float and kick around in. They did fine that my cervix is thinner than it should be which puts me at risk for preterm labor so they decided to keep me over night and monitor the two of us a little longer until my OB could come in and take a peek at what was going on. The nurse started me on Procardia at 4:30am and monitored my contractions throughout the morning. The meds worked and we were sent home on strict bed rest and a bottle of Procardia in-hand. I have a follow up appointment on Monday with further testing, and we'll go from there.
Looks like it's gong to be a slow weekend full of movies and plenty of fluids :) Mom is coming over tonight to make lasagna, yay!
Love you all, we will keep you updated.
Holly & Brian
