    OH MY!!!

    I am SO GLAD that everything is alright! Take your medication and kick back! That lil peanut needs to stay right where she is for a while!

    How scary! I had Braxton Hicks with Quinn, but they were normal. I hope everything is OK and the meds work fine in keeping you from contracting too soon again. Get some rest and take it easy!

    Thanks for the assurance everyone! Ive been keeping hydrated as the doctor mentioned that I was dehydrated when I went in. I'm on bed rest until I see my regular doctor (on tuesday I hope). My only worry is that my work will loose patence but honestly I think mine and Ninas helth is more important at this juncture.

    I'm 32 weeks along right now. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I've been taking it easy all day and Ive finally now gotten some energy to catch up on PT (on the hubbys laptop in bed of course, he won't let me sit in front of my computer lol)

    Oh and I myself was 6 weeks premature and turned out A-OK. Nina is maturing very well and they gave me a steroid shot to develop her lungs. The doctor figures even if she was born at 34 weeks she would be ok because she is devleoping that well.

    I've had premature labor three times already. My doctor says that it is normal for some women (who think their superwoman ) to go through this. My family keeps getting on me because I want to do a lot of things myself and they don't think I should. Just do as your doctor says and relax and enjoy that little bundle of joy. One thing I love to do is feel my little girl move. As she grows you'll be able to see her move in your belly. That is cool to watch.

    Having to rest all the time stinks, but just remember it will all be worth it in the end. You might also want to invest in a prenatal cradle too. I have one and it keeps her from pulling on my uterus and causing contractions.

    I already can see her move and it is really neat! Sometimes, I'll fall asleep with a book propped across my belly and my hubby swears that Nina can kick the book darn near off of me lol.

    Cadence/Anna (we haven't decieded which yet) does the same thing when I fall asleep reading. Either that when its time for hubby to get home she will get very active until he sits down rubs my belly and talks to her. It is hilarious. I have a funny feeling she is going to be a daddy's girl.
