Crazy Day!

Well....today starte out rough. Actually it started last night. About 4:30 yesterday I started having a lot of contractions. This is really the third episode I have had, but this was slightly worse. This morning I went on to work, but the contractions continued. So I called the Nurse Midwife and she said I needed to be checked. So...Jonathan drove me to the appointment where they hooked me up to a monitor that tracked contractions and the baby's heart rate. I was having quit a few contractions, some of them very strong. She then did a test called fenobronectin. If this test is positive it indicates a likelihood of me going into labor in the next two weeks. Luckily mine was negative, praise God! She also checked me and said my cervix is still closed and still long, but is as soft as a marsh mellow. So we are safe for the most part but not completely out of the woods. I have started a medications called Procardia. It is actually a blood pressure medicine (my BP is fine) that stops contractions. I have to also cut back my patient load significantly at work and lay down for an hour at lunch.
Not exactly fun, but way better than the other alternative.
So....our request is that you pray for a full term baby with us. We are believing that Baby Seymour will be safe and healthy and that things from here on out will go smoothly.
We'll keep you updated.
