November 30th 2009 changed my life forever....
I had been very emotional do to Kaden being in the hospital and not feeling well he past away on November 30th 2009, SO all afternoon I was home alone with Graycee and Ryker your daddy was at work. I remember taking Graycee and Ryker into our room and saying a prayer that Rusty and Jacquie will be able to get through the future, I just lost it I can't even imagine having to bury one of my children. It was like the flood gates opened up! Poor Graycee she kept saying mom dont cry please. Mom did you know that Kaden is in heaven so don't be sad. Well of course I couldn't stop and around 6 pm I called Mark and said you HAVE to come home I am having contractions and I can't stop crying my heart HURTS SOO BAD..... So he did and he took me into the Er and sure enough I was having contractions about every 3 to 4 mins I was ONLY 28 weeks. So they gave me all the drugs to stop this baby from coming. The good thing was I wasn't dilating YET.. So they got me all hooked up with IV's and gave me 3 shots of terbutaline, for some reason that did total oppisite and made my contractions 10 times worse. They finally got me into a room and got me going on Magnesium. I was doing fine then about an hour into getting it I started feeling SOO SICk! And sure enough I started puking and could NOT stop. Well later on I find out that is very common. LUCKY ME!
And to me Surprise around 11 pm that night I was not feeling very good and on some GOOD pain meds, in walks Rusty and Jacquie I was SHOCKED, to this day I am still AMAZED
Nothing really changed for a couple days my contractions weren't slowing down enough to send me home but they weren't making me dilate so that was GOOD news! Finally after a week and half of being in the hospital we finally got my contractions under control so I could go home to be on complete bed rest. Now how does that happen when you have 2 other kids at home. I was lucky to have A LOT of help from my family.
They sent me home on medication called Nifedipine to help keep the contractions down. I was on bed rest a weekly doc. apts with Doc, D every week. Stress tests and tests to see if I would go into labor with in the next week and LOTS of Ultra sounds to check his fluid. Well I made it to 37 weeks....
Labor story coming next!
