Q: I'm Back

I just got home about 25 minutes ago. I started to read some of the post before I posted this one. Angie your were right the doctors gave me something called tera something. They gave me five injections to stop my contractions so basically I was there all day waiting for them to stop. My back is killing me from laying down all day. They said that my cervix has thinned out, but i'm not dialated yet so thats good. What's really weird is that i'm really swollen down there and I don't remember that happening for my son elijah. I still have 6 weeks to go, but they don't think i'll make it. They want me to try to hold out for at least two more weeks, so I will be 36 weeks and be considered full term. So basically i've been put on bed rest, but I still have 4 more classes to go to finish summer school, so maybe just a little bit more walking. I hope the baby cooperates now. Anyway I hope I make it. I know nobody will be seeing this post until tommorrow and I will be on but like at 1200 or maybe even after. I have alot of sleep to catch up on, lol. No seriously i'm really exhausted but I will definietly be on tommorrow. Good night guys.

Course we're happy sweetie-the weekends are very quiet here to be honest.
You seem to have a lot to juggle with school, pregnancy and a son! Make sure you get a lot of rest so that you can try & hold out for a couple of weeks.It must have been horrible to have those 5 injections but I guess it had to be done.Best wishes & get lots of rest
