so now that we know what's going on & i'm back at home (for now) i figured i'd let anyone who wanted to cared to know what was going on. all day friday i was having very hard contractions off and on. 3 hours, stop, 2 hours, stop, 4 hours, stop. they were really hard and i could feel lots of pressure with them. they eventually just stopped. saturday night i kept having some but more so pressure and with pressure i knew it meant i was changing. from 12am- 3am or so sunday morning i was sitting up in the bed with contractions every 2 minutes trying hard to focus and just breathe bc they were very hard. either they tapered off or i just fell asleep with them i don't know. woke up sunday morning still feeling small contractions but still lots of pressure. we went to denton for lunch and pulled one of matt's stores and the closer we got to home the closer and harder they got too. by the time we pulled up in the drive way i was in tears. now if you know me, i can deal with contractions. i can have one clearing the charts and still be ok but when i start to tear up it's serious. i was already texting jordan so i told her and matthew to get here NOW! we're going in. i came inside and walking made them easier to cope with. sitting down i did nothing but focus on them and not something else.
when we got the the hospital they got me hooked up and just watched me for a few minutes to see how close and hard they were. also checked my cervix, i am now 2-2.5cm and about 50-60% effaced and -1 station. as of that point we thought we were about to have a baby bc things were going fast. dr hall was there and hooked me up to IV fluids, antibiotics, 1 shot of terb immediately, 2 procardia pills (which work the same was as terb) a shot of demerol & phenergan hoping to knock everything out. i still ended up needing terb every 20 mins with a max of 3 to get them to slow down. even with all those drugs they were still strong just not as close and the pressure was crazy. finally they stopped and i got terb every 3 hours after that. even at 7pm we still weren't sure if we were going to have a baby then or not. they were afraid i was still changing and waiting to see what was happening. we didn't let anyone know bc that's how we want it now and for the birth. but some people STILL aren't getting that message!!! i'm not calling as soon as we walk out the door when we don't know what's going on yet and we have said numerous time WE DO NOT WANT ANYONE AT THE HOSPITAL WHEN WE GO, no matter what we're going for!!! matt said last night when he finally walked out to call his mother about 8pm the waiting room at the nursery was standing full, everyone jumped up and turned to look at him and got disappointed when he wasn't the person they were waiting on. he said THAT is the exact reason we don't want anyone down there bc that is absolutely ridiculous!! stay away, leave us alone, give us our time. we were both tired, i got sick early in the morning today and right before i left. i came home to sleep and still pretty crappy right now. dr hall sent me home with a 9 day supply of procardia and said to take it and once it's gone i'll be past 34 weeks and he has it wrote in my charts "prep/ plan for delivery". they will not stop me anymore, so once i go, i go. if i go before the 9, well 8 now they will attempt again to stop me but will not do mag. what dr hall is trying to do is make it so me and her can stay at stanly and that's reaching 34 weeks. he doesn't want to put me off like last time and just keep drugging me and something happen so that's why he said he's only going to hold me 8 more days and after that if she comes, she comes. so as of now it's anytime. looks like TIP might just be owing Miss $5 ;)
contractions as of (approx) 3pm yesterday
