7 Months Prego with Kinley

It's been a little bit of a roller coaster ride since I've been put on bed rest with Kinley. June 8,2010 was a scary day for me. I was laying around with Presley when I started to feel really bad pains in my lower back. I saw that Presley was getting ready for nap time, so I thought this is the perfect opportunity for me to lay down with her. As she fell asleep, I laid there trying hard to get comfortable. Nothing was working and I didn't want to wake Presley up by me moving around like I have worms up my butt. I got up and went to the living room hoping that maybe sitting up against something hard would ease the pain. I was wrong, nothing was helping. I started to panic a little and wonder what the hell was wrong with my back? Then I realized crap am I having contractions?! So I started to feel where the softest part of my tummy was, and once I found it I would wait for the pain to come again and touch that exact spot. It was rock solid! I quickly called my doctor and explained to her my symptoms. She was worried and told me to go into labor and delivery right away because of my previous condition that led me to bed rest in the first place.

I called Wade and he left work to take me to the hospital. As I was being monitored by the machines I sat there with fear that Kinley could be coming out way to soon! 29 weeks is to early, their respiratory system isn't even fully developed. I started to freak out. My mother-in-law came to the hospital to take Presley. As I sat there worried my wonderful husband kept reassuring me that everything was going to be okay. He was being strong for me. Thank god because if he was worried and I saw that I would probably freak out more. Anyway, after some test and being poked and pronged they said that I was having contractions and that they needed to try to stop them. They gave me a couple of shots and exams in hopes that this medicine will work (I guess it doesn't work all the time). A few minutes later as we sat and watched the screen of contractions to see if the medicine had work (dead silence in the room) we saw that IT WORKED!!! YAY!! They were able to stop my uterus from contracting.

They wanted me to sit still for a little longer just to make sure the medicine was doing its job. Once she approved all the sheets and felt that my contractions were no longer present they sent me home (with more instructions of course). The medicine and test they gave me assured me that it was a 99.99% chance that I won't go into labor again for the next 2 weeks! After the 2 weeks I will be checked again and hopefully nothing is happening, but if it does at least I can have a positive hope that the medicine will work again for another 2 weeks.

Now I'm home resting, drinking A LOT of water and Presley is in Orange County with my in laws until Sunday. I miss her so much and it's so quite around the house. Some people may love the quietness but I find it creepy and discomforting. I can't wait until Kinley is in a healthy week to be born so I can not be on bed rest or prego anymore. I have some serious makeup playtime I owe Presley!

29 weeks..
