Well, there has been quite a bit that has happened since the last post. On Monday we went in for a regular doctor check up and found out that we were in pre labor at 26 weeks. I was having contractions and not feeling them which is obviously a bad thing. I was dialated to a 3 and the water would have broken any day had we not found out. So we were sent straight for the hospital where we were admitted and out on a monitor and medication to stop contractions ASAP. We were having about 5 contractions in 8 min and I was not feeling anything! I was put on Magnesium Sulfate and given an IV and antibiotics and strict bed rest. We were also given a series of 4 steroid shots that would help with the development of the babies lungs so that if they were to be born early, they would have a better chance of survival. So far so good. We are off that strong medication and we have finished the shots but I am still on bed rest in the hospital and the doctor has lead us to believe that this will be my home away from home for the next while till these babies come. I do have access to the Internet and will try to post some updates every now and and then but please keep us in your prayers so that all can go well and that we can keep these babies in till at least 34 weeks. We feel very blessed already that the Lord has inspired our doctor to check even thought it was too early to do so and also one of His tender mercies is that my in-laws were in town and so my mother in law was able to stay and help us out and be a great support. The Lord has been very kind to us and we are so grateful!
