Contraction Update

I called the Midwife yesterday and she was out so I spoke with one of the OBYGN's. I let her know that the contractions were no better (I had about 30 from 6:30 AM to 3:30 PM an stopped counting after that). She agreed to let me double the medication to help stop the contraction as long as my blood pressure remained high enough and I didn't have side effects (dizziness, headache, etc). So I have doubled up and it seems to be helping. I have only had 6 or so contractions since 6:30 AM and it is now 11:00 AM.
So...with all the prayers and the medication things seem to be getting better. Please continue to pray. We believe wholeheartedly prayer is amazing and works!
Yesterday I started to get discouraged and frustrated so I turned the best source in the world for advice...the Bible.
Here is the scripture God brought me to:
"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ."
Philippians 4: 6-7
I have repeated this over and over and any time I start to worry I remind myself to pray instead. Thanks again for your continued prayers and support. We are blessed to have friends and family like you!
