Well these girls have definitely already made things interesting...
I went to the doctor last Wednesday for a check up and they redid my FFN test, which checks to see if there is any action going on down there. It came back positive, so they sent me over to Women's hospital on Thursday evening to get steroid shots. When I arrived I told them I was feeling some pressure and tightening, thinking it was only Braxton Hicks, but come to find out they were real contractions. OOPS! So I got admitted and they did my first steroids, which caused bigger contractions and they started me on Mag Sulfate to stop the contractions. My what was supposed to be an overnight stay has now turned into an almost week long stay. I got off mag sulfate Saturday night, but apparently it had already done a number on my body. Yesterday morning I woke up unable to breathe on my own and my oxygen level was very low. I got put on oxygen to help me breathe and they started pumping me full of lasix because I had apparently started to get fluid in my lungs. I didn't realize how bad of shape I was in until they told me yesterday afternoon that things could have gotten real bad and my dr informed me that I freaked her out. Lovely huh? So I am sitting here in the hospital, while mom and Aaron take turns switching off shifts. The goal is still to get the girls to 34 weeks, which will be this coming Sunday. Yesterday, the Dr told me that she was going to keep me hospitalized until then, but since I am doing better today, I may get to go home Thursday and ride out the rest of pregnancy on strict bed rest at home. But things have changed in such short times here lately, who knows! I will try to update again soon. :)
*I never knew how hard this mommy thing was going to be, and Austyn and Addisyn haven't even gotten here yet! LOL! Please say prayers that I don't have anymore complications so I can go home.
Love to all!
