Earlier today I thought I would be able to keep this baby in another week or so. Now, I don't know. I think I should learn to stop assuming, or even guessing, anything! Jeff went to meet Mom and get Ivey back and Jen came here to be with me... bringing me some much needed supplies. I'm so glad she repacked my hospital bag! Who knows when I may need it again!
I was supposed to take my Procardia at 8:00 tonight, but at 6:30 I started contracting again. I held off until 7:30 and went ahead and took it. By 8:00, I was having contractions... STRONG ones... every 2-3 minutes. They were big enough that I couldn't talk through them and they brought me to tears. I called the midwife who told me to give it 30 minutes and see if I can get them to slow down.
By 9:30 they had slowed to about 5-6 minutes apart and weren't as strong. Now, they are still happening, but they are still more tolerable than they were. I put a friend on standby for the night, just in case Jeff and I have to go to the hospital and have to have her come to stay with Ivey. Hopefully, things will continue to calm down and we will stay put tonight!
