Sorry I have not been on here as much. Things have been pretty crazy, I was on a bunch of meds, and not in the greatest mood. I didn't want to come on here and be a total downer.

I'm still in the hospital and will be until I deliver. They took me of all labor-stopping medicines on Wednesday with the tentative plan to let labor happen if it started. Well, it didn't take long for my contractions to come with a vengeance. I had a very rough 24 hour period of contractions and dilated all the way to 3.5 cm before the dilation seemed to stall. They sent me down to L&D and everything, but there was some confusion about my dilation...the nurse measured me at a 4, the ob said I was still a 3, 3.5. So the back and forth was confusing and the pain was hard to deal with. They ended up sending me back up to my room on the special care floor and monitoring me closely. I passed out again shortly after and of course my room went into a frenzy. All of my vitals were ok except for low bp and a slightly high pulse. Cole handled the whole thing (even the contractions) wonderfully (thank goodness). They changed the plan and put me back on meds to stop the contractions, because apparently they weren't doing enough to my cervix but the pain and stress of them was hard on my body.

We will reassess this Wednesday, but as much as I don't want to be in the hospital anymore, I am kind of hoping that Cole can bake a few weeks longer. They will induce me at 37 weeks no matter what because of my fainting episodes, so that's only about 2 weeks anyways. I had a few rough days on mag again but am feeling better now. Being away from Chase and DH still sucks, but I am trying to be more positive and focus on 2 weeks from now. I can't wait to hold my little guy in my arms and take him home.

It has been a long, difficult pregnancy, but I know as soon as I see my little guy for the first time I will forget it all.

I am passing the time here by reading and online shopping...our poor checking account!!! I will come on JM more now too..you ladies always help cheer me up!

((Hugs)) I cannot imagine how rough it's been for you! I'm so glad to hear that everything is going okay with you guys, though. Only two more weeks and it will be here before you know it !!! Hang in there!!

Aww Im sorry you had such a rough few days but Im really glad to hear Cole is doing so well.

If you get bored of shopping for yourself I could use some more 0-3 clothes. 77Kids is my favorite store followed by gap. And I need some sleevless onesies.

[CarolynBB]

Yay, glad to hear from you!

I laughed at the part about online shopping...I think our entire baby was furnished by Amazon.com and one-click shopping.

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better even being back on the mag (boo). Keep us posted!

[Beachbabies]

Lol I should start a personal shopping service while I'm in here!!! Just give me your payment info and what u need and we're set!!!

I pretty much bought the rest of our registry on BRU online yesterday!!! Good thing we had at least budgeted for that.

Thanks for the support ladies

I hate that you are dealing with all of this and having to be away from your little boy But, I am happy to know that you and Cole are doing well and that he should be able to get so close to full term. You are right..once this is all over it will seem like such a small period in your/your family's life; and will have totally been worth it! Hang in there, mama!!

[Twhylite21]

I'm so sorry you are going through all of this! It sounds rough! I am glad that Cole and you are doing okay considering all of the circumstances though

[Sunshine0918]

Awww. I am sorry you had such a rough few days. Hopefully the little guy can stay in a few more weeks and make it to term.

[JsBaby]

Sorry to hear about your rough couple of days... You are a STRONG Woman! I'm not sure I could handle the hospital scene that long. The couple days during and after delivery are enough for me.

Glad to hear you've got your chin up! Soon it will be over and like you said it will be forgotten. Love the Shopping idea! I have lots you can shop for!

You're doing GREAT! You're an inspiration to us all! Keep up the Good Work! Cole will be here soon! Take Care! It's good to hear from you!

[*Jillian*]

I'm thinking of you and hoping that Cole stays put but mostly stays safe in there!!! You take care of yourself and keep us posted. Enjoy the shopping. I, personally, can think of a better way to pass the time!

Poor Kelleye! I really hope the next few weeks fly by for you do you can go home with a healthy newborn and be with Chase and DH.
Victory was keeping us March 09'ers up to date with you so I did post a few updated about you on our FB group.
Hugs!!!!!

[lunarmagic]

Oh my, I'm sorry. that sounds so hard on your body, you poor thing. I hope they at least keep the contractions away so you don't have to keep going through that before it's time.

[melissalaw]

Thanks for checking in. I was just thinking of you and Cole this morning and going to PM you to see how you were doing. Glad you posted so we know. I'm sorry that you had such a hard 24 hours of contractions. Glad you have a game plan and know now that he will be induced at 37 weeks. When will you be 37 weeks?

I'm hoping you can find some things to pass the time. I know how boring being in the hospital can be and I can't imagine being there as long as you have been. cole is going to be the perfect child because of all he has put mommy through before he was even born.

Thanks for doing that Taylor that was sweet of you

Melissa, I will be 37 weeks on April 25th, but I am waiting until my ob is at the hospital so we have yet to set an actual date. We will sometime this week. I'm really hoping to make it. I feel like I've gone through so much that it would b such a great accomplishment to make it full term!!!

[melissalaw]

I hope you make it to 37 weeks also. After all you have been through, you deserve that. We will all be praying that you can hang on 2 more weeks.

[Beachbabies]

Thank you so much

[*SamF*]

Glad to hear Cole is tolerating every thing well! I hope he continues to bake a few more weeks.
I really hand it to you ladies on bed rest home or in the hospital! I think I would lose my mind!

[imdawn]

Wow. What a rollercoaster! I feel for you Hopefully the next two weeks pass quickly and you get a healthy, full-term Cole in your arms!

[therightgirl08]

Glad to hear your hanging in there. Hope he continues to bake a little longer. I will keep you and Cole in my thoughts and prayers.

[StaceygirlPa]

I was just thinking about you. I am sorry you are having such a hard time. Hopefully Cole can stay in a little bit longer.
