The contractions stopped.

I napped in the most uncomfortable ER bed in existence for close to 2 hours.  The first hour I was there, the ER department and Labor and Delivery department argued about whose patient I was.  I felt oh-so-loved.

The OB doctor on call recommended I go home on bedrest for a couple of days and drink boatloads of water.  In a couple of days my pregnancy will be considered "viable."

On to more exciting pregnancy news, tomorrow is the big ultrasound!  I'm thinking pink.

a "viable" pregnancy? Who comes up with these terms? grr.... anyway, I'm so glad the contractions stopped. I think your body is telling you to slow down, though.

Fingers crossed for pink. (But toes crossed for blue, just in case.)

So glad they stopped Nikki! And I can't wait for tomorrow's news. Although, how in the WORLD are you suppose to be on bedrest with as many children as you have, two over them being twin boys under 1 year?! I hope you have ome help for the next few days. Wish I lived closer..

I did that before... went in at 18.5 weeks with contractions, and they refused to let me be seen in L&D. ER was clueless, but I was stuck there... where they tried to tell me that I wasn't REALLY having contraction. I assured them that since it was my 5th pregnancy, and I'd already been having contractions off and on for 3 or 4 weeks, I was pretty darn sure of what they were. *sigh*

So glad they stopped!
