Our Family

Okay so I can't have a blog post without a picture so here is another one of A with clothes on. I always thought if I had a daughter I would be able to dress her up real cute and do her hair cute. Well A has no interest in being my little doll so when I do get the rare chance to make her cute I take advantage of it!
WARNING: LONG STORY STARTING SO BEAR WITH ME!
Yesterday I woke up and felt like I was having menstrual cramps. Which made me a little concerned. So I think well I will wait and see if they go away. Of course they don't so I call my doctor and he is out of the office. I am like great the one time I need him he is not around. So I debate some more and finally call the hospital and they page him. I tell him what is going on and he wants me to go to the hospital for some tests. So my wonderful sister in law picks up A for me and I go get R to go to the hospital with me. We get to the hospital and the nurses make me get undressed (completely!) and put me in a gown and then hook me up to a fetal heart monitor and a blood pressure cuff. I was getting flashbacks of being in labor. I give them a urine sample and they take some swab tests from some areas you really don't want to be swabbed at and then we wait. Then one of the nurses comes in with a needle and I am like what is going on. She is like look at the monitor and she shows us that I am having contractions that are 3 minutes apart. I had no idea. I mean I was in some pain but nothing like what Alli's labor was. But that was also a pitocin induced labor which I hear can be a lot more painful which I can vouch for! So she gives me a shot of turbutaline (spell check) which is a muscle relaxant that will hopefully stop my contractions but will speed up my heart and make me shaky. I am like oh great. She also precedes to tell me all that can be happening to me and if I am in real active labor they will have to send to McKay hospital because I am only 31 weeks along and Logan hospital only delivers at 32 weeks. She also says just about everything that can go wrong and pretty much freaks me out. So they get the test results back and I was not in real active labor but I have a bladder infection that was causing me to have preterm labor. So I they give me an antibiotic and my contractions have stopped so they send me home. So what I thought was just going to be an hour thing turned out to be four hours. Let me tell you I was a little tired when we got home. I am on moderate bed rest for now just to make sure that I don't start anything up again. So that was my little adventure for the day. I don't recommend it because that turbutaline stuff makes you feel like a drug addict going into withdrawals. I am glad everything was okay but do feel stupid that all this was caused by a bladder infection I didn't even know I had. Well if you have made it this far in my story congratulations! You definitely should get a prize! Hope your day was not as entertaining as mine!
