Back to the Hospital

We have had an interesting week! We went Tuesday morning to my regular 32 week check-up and they found that I was still having contractions. My doctor was obviously concerned about this so she sent me back over to L&D for a couple of days. She wanted me to be on the monitor for at least 24 hours so she could see what was happening. Luckily I was able to come home Wednesday afternoon. Being in the hospital is not fun! They think they have my medicine regulated now to calm down those contractions. I am now officially on bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy. My doctor wants me to make it another 5 weeks and then she said she would let nature takes its course. So I am at home trying to be a good little patient! My mom came yesterday and is taking care of everything - it has been great. I think she will stay until Saturday and then go home, probably come back late next week too. I feel okay, the meds they have me taking have lots of side effects: headaches, sweating, jittery and heart racing sensation. They say that my body will get used to the meds and I wont' notice the side effects as much - I hope that happens soon! Well I will keep you all posted on any changes, I'll have plenty of time for emailing and blogging now!
