The most eventful week of this pregnancy so far!
Well after a very eventful weekend the week hasn't gotten much better! I have had at least a few hours of contractions everyday! Last night was the worst they got very painful and I called my OB. He said to give it a few more hours and if it gets worse to go in and they would start me on steroids to help mature the girls lungs. Then I would be shipped to Dartmouth or Boston. I prayed they wouldn't get worse! I would feel better if I was at 26 plus weeks because the chance of survival is good. Wow I never thought I would think a 26 week delivery would be a wish! I obviously hope they stay in way longer than that but I would rather 26 weeks instead of 24! I am grateful I am at the point where they would fight for our girls if they were born in the next week or so. I haven't been back to work since Friday when everything started going haywire and I am hoping at my appointment Monday I get put on modified bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy! Anyway, the contractions stayed the same and I went to bed. This morning I just feel sore and I am sure if I get up and do any light activity the contractions will start again so I am trying to stay on the couch. Hopefully with modified bed rest I can keep these babies in for a long time! We will see what happens!

I'm praying the babies can stay put for several more weeks! Keep taking it easy!
