2 weeks

Well, I have made it two weeks on partial bed rest. I got the 2nd steroid shot on Thursday, May 6, and also got my meds doubled. I now take 20mg of nifedipine every 6 hours. I have been doing pretty well at home, thanks to everyone who takes Laney during the day for a few hours and brings in dinner. The contractions are still coming off and on. Nothing consistent or painful, but still there. Went back into Labor and Delivery last Tuesday with some bleeding- which was just from the loss of my mucous plug, and I am dilated to a 1. Not real far- but more than the week before. They also tested the fFN ( fetal fibronectin) again, and this time it was positive. It isn't 100% accurate that I will deliver soon, but it shows that I am at high risk for preterm delivery. They say it can happen between 1-2 weeks of a positive test result, so...we'll see! Last Wed, my mom, Sara, Erica and her kids came down. My dad came down on Friday still being sooo sick with pneumonia. They were so helpful with everything. They cleaned, organized the baby's room(which I started a painting project 2 days before all this happened) and kept me entertained. They even took care of Pyper's birthday party. (Pictures to come! ) Tomorrow I will be 33 weeks and that is good. I am sure I have a while longer. I've only gained 15 pounds so far this pregnancy and I lost 3 this last week! I hope Elin is getting bigger. She will need it!
