Here we go again...

When I was about 27 weeks pregnant with Olivia I ended up having to go to the hospital and get some meds to slow down some pre-term contractions.  I don't think I was fully going into pre-term laber, but the doctors were worried enough to give me the drugs and have me spend the night.  What followed was 3 months of worrying that my little baby was going to show up too early and not fully cooked.  I took it really easy and tried to take great care of myself. 

I was REALLY hoping to avoid all that nonsense this time.  I would stay well hydrated, get plenty of rest, and just feel great the whole time...  That didn't quite work out.  Matt travelled to Rhode Island last week and DC this week after a short weekend break back home.  That left me and the kiddos to play on our own and regular work for me. 

Well Tuesday rolled around and I went for a "long" walk at lunch (10 minutes there and back for Subway).  About half way my belly started hurting.  It continued for a couple hours and got worse rather than better, so I headed back to the hospital.  They ended up giving me some medicine to slow contractions again, but I didn't have any other signs of pre-term labor.  So everything should be fine.  Now I'm back to worried, but pretty sure this baby's gonna hang out for a lot longer.  And this is just another reminder to slow down and get rest when I need it.
