One thing I know this beautiful morning is that we are blessed in ways I cannot imagine right now!
I will attempt to explain on 1 hour of sleep and type through the mangeled mess of cords, monitors and IV's spewing out everywhere.
Yesterday after lunch, while teaching 4th grade I started feeling "odd". Not sure what to do, I was coaxed into going to see the school nurse who informed me that what I was having contractions every minute. Josh came and took me to the hospital thinking we would be stopping at Lowes on the way home a of couple hours later. Slight change of plans! Basically the short end of the story is that I am here in the hospital till wed. night until fruther notice and will be on bedrest after that - Please pray for my sanity! I have had quite the array of medications and experiences over the last 18 hours....I won't go into details It's been uhhh...enlighting for what is to come. Basically, I am receiving steroids to help the baby's lungs mature and they are using magnesium to try to stop the contractions and "buy time" to give the steroids a chance to work on the lungs. The contractions just seem to keep coming though so we will just wait. I am waiting to meet with the NICU Dotors and the High Risk Maternal Doctors this morning. I guess they will figure out what the best course of action is going to be for my situation. I am currently 32 weeks - they are taking the Nov. 30th date now.
I am out of veins so that means that have to stop sticking me right?? Really, Everyone here has been AWESOME!
We have so much to be grateful for today! I am so glad WE are here! The baby has a great shot no matter what the outcome - but let's keep it in! Thank you for your prayers!

"enlightening" thats a great word to use in that circumstance, I don't miss that at all! Justin just got off the phone with josh. I hope your handling it all okay. My cousin had her son at 32 weeks and he was totally healthy, its amazing what medical science is capable of. Plus you couldn't be in a better hospital. We love you guys. Keep us posted.
