Never a dull moment!

This is just a really quick update, because I'm writing to you from the HOSPITAL!

When I went to my routine perinatal appointment this past thursday, they once again found that I had an excess of amniotic fluid (no wonder I feel so huge! I really AM bigger because of all the extra fluid), but additionally, they found that I was having far more frequent contractions than I thought I had been experiencing (I thought they were just harmless braxton hicks contractions - because it was way too early for the real ones!)

But I guess because of the excess fluid, my poor uterus was like "Okay, we're big enough now! Time to get things moving!" But we were only 33 weeks along - and still 3 weeks away from when the perinatologists had wanted to delivery early.

So they sent me to the hospial, where Mr. Daybyday and I have been ever since Thursday, and gave me some meds to control/slow down the contractions, and some steroid injections to help speed up the wee one's lung maturity (also I had an IV put in - I'm totally over my phobia of needles now - they're still not fun, but they don't have the faint inducing effect anymore!). And they've found that my contractions weren't actually progressing the labour, so things seem stable. PHEW.

So now I'm off the meds, and we're being monitored to see if my body decides to go into labour again. The neonatologist have told us that generally 33 week babies do really well - so that is a comfort.

So now we wait.

HOLY CRAP, what a week!

(and I guess that wasn't such a short update afterall!)
