Scary Reality

Over the past few weeks i have read many blog posts about women's pregnancy problems. I would have never thought that one of these complications would have happened to me. Thursday night after a great burrito dinner, Jon and I were told to go to Labor and Delivery because i was having intense pain...and when i say intense i was crunched over in crying. Once we got to the Emergency Room it came pretty clear that i was having major contractions. They wheeled me up to Labor and Delivery where i spent the night. They determined that i was having pre-term labor. I was having contractions every 1 to 6 minutes in the beginning. Then after a shot to stop/slow the contractions they changed to every 10 to 20 minutes. Thank god i wasn't dilated! The shot and pills the nurse gave me made my heart race a thousand miles a minute.

After spending around 3 hours in the recovery room, the nurse moved us into a room for the night so they could watch me. At this point i was terrified that baby winston would be on his way...thank god they got the contractions to stop! 

The doctor told me to take it easy and i would see him July 17 for my check up. I am so glad after that terrifying night that everything is ok now. I am just taking it easy and praying that i don't have to experience contractions again until baby Win is going to come into this world! With that in mind, i am thinking that Winston is going to be early. He just cant wait to see the world :)
This whole situation has made me realize how unprepared Jon and I are for our son to be here. He has to keep baking for a little longer, there is still so much to do! We have to finish the nursery....not to mention all the stuff we still need to get. So stressful!
