Labor Day Weekend

My family came Thursday evening to visit over the holiday weekend, which I was looking forward to. But, it turns out that I didn't get to spend much time with them while they were here. Friday, Keith and I closed on our house finally! And that took most of the morning. When we got home, Keith went to work and I reclined on the couch visiting. Around 4pm everyone decided they had places to go, which would have left me home alone. So I opted to ride with my sister and her family (and Emma) to Justice to let the girls look at clothes since my niece's birthday was the 2nd. While I was sitting in Justice I started spotting so off we went to the hospital. I thought I would only be there a few hours until they determined that I was fine and could go home. However, while I was there I started having contractions and ended up admitted with all sorts of IVs and meds to stop contractions and Steroid shots to help develop the babies lungs. They finally let me go home on Sunday after I was giving a blood transfusion. I did okay and the baby looks great, but my gut feeling tells me this baby is coming soon. Luckily, my doctor is in agreement and I now have appointments 2 times a week to monitor everything so we can be ahead of the game. I was greatful that Alice was working all weekend. It was nice to see her peeking in to check on me. I really appreciate all the help everyone has given me. And I was so glad to have family in town, although I didn't get to see them much, it was so nice not to worry about my kids having fun and being distracted. So I am now on STRICT bedrest until this baby is born. Lucky me! I CAN DO IT!
