BED REST!!!

Here's the report from the doctor visit today:

Basically, the doctor told me to lay on my side from here on out unless I am coming in to see him for an appointment. He said that I was 80% effaced, which means that the babies are wanting to come sooner than we want them to. I was having some contractions already as well, so he put me on some medicine to stop those and I am also going to be getting shots of progesterone to help with it. The medicine is no fun...causes shakiness and increases heart rate, but he said that after I have taken it for awhile and my body is used to it, that will all calm down.

The doctor said the babies would be fine if they came now, but of course we want them to stay as long as possible (less time in neonatal, gain more weight, etc...). He is aiming for Oct. 25 or so. I would be around 36 weeks at that point.

My next ultrasound is this Thursday, so maybe we will have more pics. to share at that point!
