Hospital Run
I woke up today with a little surprise. I had a little spotting so trying not to panic, I did a quick photo shoot with Santa and called the doctor in the mean time. I was instructed to come on in and to my surprise they kept me over night. I started having contractions 3-4 minutes apart and they gave me something to calm them. I am only 30 weeks pregnant so we are not ready to have you yet little guy! Momo and Pawpaw came and picked up Landry...they're angels I tell you, ANGELS!....and I had a not so restful night of sleep. Dr. Bush released me the next day after two rounds of steroid and an order for bed rest. Fortunately, Mike is off for the rest of the year and we are going on a week to week basis on my condition. I am not a good bed rest candidate but I will do whatever I have to do to ensure the safety of this baby. One of the things that I am having the hardest time with is the fact that I was on bed rest with Sophie and it brings back a flood of memories for me. The doctor on call when I went in to the hospital just happened to be the same one that had to deliver her when we lost her. It was a long hard night for all of us and I know as a physician that he went home with a heavy heart the next day. It was hard seeing him come to my room and relive even a few minutes of that life changing event but we got though it and I am thankful to have had someone there that was as compassionate and capable as he is. Another hurdle...a quick road block. I'll get through it as long as I keep my eye on the prize and trust that God has great plans for this little boy I'm carrying. Now if we could only name him.....
