Going Crazy!!!!!!
Bedrest is driving me crazy. It has been 2 1/2 weeks so far. I have been reading a lot of books, and I joined Netflix. I went to the doctor Monday. He didn't check me for changes in dilation. Finley has been head down since the first time he checked me around 28 weeks. He is just hanging out. Doctor said he weighs at least 4 pounds if not more. He is a good size baby. I will be 33 weeks on Saturday, and they hope to keep him in there until 35 or 36 weeks. I still get my weekly shots of progesterone, and I am now on terbutaline for the contractions. The terbutaline is crazy medicine. It makes you not sleep, have hot flashes, superfast heartbeat, shaky, and out of breath. At least it only has to be taken every 6 hours. Hope everyone has a happy new years. We will be sitting at home since I have not been allowed to travel during the holidays.

Baby Update
Well, I woke up Wednesday at 3am throwing up, and it continued all day. The doctor sent me over to the hospital around 4pm. Once I got there I was contracting pretty regulary so I got some stadol, phenegran, and 3 shots of something else to stop contractions. They finally stopped at 1am on Thursday, but started up again during the morning hours. They got to where they were 7 minutes apart so not I take mag-ox every six hours. That seems to have stopped them for now. I also received a steroid shot to develop Finley's lungs, and I go by tomorrow to get a second round. I guess it is bed rest again. I am almost 31 weeks, and they hope to keep him in until 37 weeks. We'll see what happens.
