I am so frustrated. Here I am on total bedrest. I have been having contractions every 8 minutes since I left the hospital yesterday. (They were 3 minutes apart there.) I take this medicine every 6 hours to slow them down. It makes the contractions really light and painless for a few hours, but the last few hours until my next dose is painful again. They're not hardcore labor pains, but strong enough where I have to stop walking or talking until they pass. I am so exhausted and my back is so sore. TMI, but I am also spotting too. Obviously, if the doctor put me on total bedrest, this is no joke.
Anyways, my stepmom called me at 9am.
She said "What are you doing?"
"Sleeping."
"It's 9am."
"Yeah, what else am I supposed to do."
"Are you coming out Saturday?" (We have ANOTHER freakin Xmas present opening event at their house Saturday.)
"No, I am bedrest, remember?"
"Well, you just have to sit there."
"Well, I've been 'just sitting there' on my bedrest the past month or so...obviously that wasn't slowing down enough if I went into labor. The doctor told me that I cannot leave my bed at all."
"Whatever. Are you going to your sister's basketball game tonight?"
"NO, I am staying in bed."
"Well, you promised her you would. It is her birthday, you know."
"Yes I know. "
"Well she is going to be really disappointed in you. The least you can do is call her...Don't forget that Friday is your dad's birthday too, we're going out to dinner."
"I know, I am not coming."
"Whatever. Nicky Boy was born when Tresa was only 6 months pregnant. I don't see why you are making a big deal out of this."
"Well, Nicky Boy was in the hospital for 6 months and had health problems for the rest of his life."
"Oh, your baby will be fine."
So, we hang up, I'm perturbed...
An hour later, my dad calls. (Obviously my stepmom had called him.) I didn't answer but he left a message....
"Hey, bum. What, are you still sleeping? I hear you aren't going to Alyssa's game tonight. I thought we were going together. I'm calling to get your butt out of bed, you need to go tonight, you promised. And about Saturday, everyone is coming over. You have to come. Call me back."
@#$&*% them. That's all I have to say.
