Whirlwind? - I thought that was over!

Well, I'll give you all the quickest update possible. I slept the worst I've ever slept last night which started the day off not great at 530am this morning. Then, today has been a nightmare and a complete whirlwind! I woke up and went to do my NST at 8am. Things were looking good and the babies were busy moving around. However, about 5 minutes into the monitoring, I started to have contractions every 5 min apart and they weren't weak to say the least! They got a little worried after about 35 consistent minutes of contractions 5 min apart and ended up sending me back downstairs to labor and delivery again. I got down there about 10am or so and I knew what was coming then - a full day of monitoring the babies and my contractions. (My least favorite thing) They stopped pretty much as I was on L&D at least mostly. However, I started to have severe pain in my back and started to leak again. They did a spec test to see what kind of fluid it was and what color and to take a look at my cervix. They also wanted to check for any kind of infection so I got my blood drawn.

The blood test was okay - no serious signs of infection. And yes, I was leaking but my cervix was tight as could be. My back contractions were so uncomfortable and I was miserable mostly. My parents came to visit at this same time and I felt so bad for them having to watch me be miserable. I had to get an IV too since they were then talking c-section again at this point. The nurse that helped me today was awesome but she did blow out one of my veins trying to put in my IV - OUCH! Not great and just added to my sour mood. I couldn't have anything to eat or drink because of the threatened c-section and was so hungry too. I think honestly that was part of the problem - who likes to be hungry and tired all day and still remain pleasant?

After the IV trauma and back pain for about an hour or two - things calmed down. My mom-in-law, Bonnie came in and sat with me for awhile and then Spence got here too and I was able to sleep a bit. Contractions stopped pretty much once again and so did the leakage. The babies looked awesome through the whole day - never once did they act stressed or struggled. They are serious troopers. I feel so bad because it isn't them that is having a hard time - it is me. My body is saying, "I'm done!" unfortunately. I've got to keep going though and so I so appreciate all your prayers. I know that priesthood blessing I received is helping too - I feel the love of our Heavenly Father everyday and know He is mindful of all of us.

I was finally able to eat around 5pm and the monitoring stopped then too! Spence and I came back up to my regular room and here we sit and wait once again. Poor Spence, he is exhausted too. I love you so much sweetie! Thanks for being here all the time. I feel good and haven't had any issues for hours now and the babies are doing great still - they came in and checked on their heart beats again and they are awesome!

I'm exhausted and so I'm hoping for a great nights sleep tonight. Wish me luck! Thanks everyone for your support - we know of your love and are so grateful for you! Thank you, thank you!
