B.R. Day 3

Rough night sleeping last night due to the fact that I basically laid down all day yesterday. Went to the doctor this morning after having a few contractions. Basically still only having contractions but no other signs of labor. Still on modified bedrest but he said I could walk around the house a bit and can go to my baby shower on Sunday at the church. Have to go back again on Monday for another check. Hoping we can make it a few weeks longer but we are at the point where there isn't really much that any medicine that would stop labor could do that would be more beneficial than harmful. So hopefully my contractions will stay only a few a day (had 2 all day yesterday). If they get more frequent and closer together, then it is back to the hospital.

Update: Ended up having 7 contractions over the day. Not too bad. As long as they stay that infrequent, everything is ok! Paul is just hoping she hangs in there through tomorrow night since he is cooking dinner for 140 people as part of a fundraiser for Natalie's school! Natalie is having a blast with her Nana! It is so hard to not be able to do much with her. We did some crafts yesterday from the couch but I can't even brush her teeth or put her to bed so it is an adjustment for all of us. Apparently the fact that I had a positive result on this preterm labor test means I am more likely to have her in the next 2 weeks. So we may meet her sooner than we thought which means she will be smaller than we thought!
