To the hospital and back

OF COURSE, just as I post that everything is fine I end up in the hospital today! I was feeling very nauseous and sick this morning, so I decided to lay down for awhile. While I was laying down I started having very regular contractions, one after the other, about 7-8 minutes apart. After a couple hours of this I called my doctor, and he told me to go straight to the hospital. Thankfully Monte happened to be home at the time, and we called our neighbor to come stay with Isabella. Thank goodness she is so easygoing, even though it was about an hour and half before her naptime, we put her to bed without any complaints from her, before we left. When we got home she was happily playing babies with our neighbor lady, and calling her "Mama" (her term for grandma).

Once we got to the hospital I got a sick feeling, thinking back to all the times I was there when I was pregnant with Isabella. The nurse recognised me right away. They hooked me up to the monitors for the afternoon, did some tests, and sent me home this evening with a prescription for anti-contraction meds, and doctor's orders to "be a couch potato". Boo. I'm supposed to hear tomorrow on the pre-term labor test.

This week is turning out to be a doozy of a week. Monte's dear grandpa passed away over the weekend, and we are heading home to his parents tomorrow for a couple of days for the funeral. His grandpa was 97, and ready to go home. We are thankful for his good, long life, it is a bittersweet time.
