Update from an awful bed

So it happened I started having contractions 


Saturday I felt a little off all day but my contractions were like once every hour or two no.big.deal

Then we ate dinner and like half an hour after I had a pretty strong contraction. Not painful but strong. Then 20 mins later another, then 15, then they got to  10 and by 6:00 pm they were coming consistently 8-10 mins apart so I called my mom she said drink water and put my feet up and if they hadn't stopped in an hour call the doctor well they didn't stop so we called the doctor and he said head on into the hospital for observation.


I called my mom for her and dad to come take care of Grayson (who Michael was putting to bed for the night) but my mom insisted on coming with Michael and I so my dad stayed at our house with Grayson. 

I took a shower before I left and we got to the hospital around 8:30. I got changed into a gown and they put the monitors on me. 

As soon as they hooked up the monitors they saw that I was still contracting every 7-8 mins they just started fluids and told me to rest only that was impossible because they had me in a lobor bed which is like laying on plywood. I got maybe half an hour of sleep when I started cramping 

They checked my and I was not dialated so around 5 in the morning I got a shot to stop contractions. Then 2 hours later a shot for the babies lungs.


I felt pretty good my doctor told me I would be staying the night because I needed to have the second shot the following morning for the babies lungs. He was upset that they hadn't let me eat yet and that I was left on the NST machine for almost 12 hours straight and that I was left in a labor bed so around 12 Grayson  came to see me and my dad picked up my mom to take her home. They decided to keep Grayson overnight so that Michael could stay with me at the hospital. 


I finally got food and then took a shower I was feeling pretty good after the shot to stop labor then around 2 I was woken up from a nap with horrible cramping it was confirmed from the NST that I was having  contractions and uterine irritability every 4-8 mins. So I got another shot and they started me on procardia. I got my second dose of procardia at 5 and have not felt a contraction or cramp since Then.


I'm still in the hospital now because it takes 48 hours for the shots for the babies lungs to be fully affective. Hopefully tomorrow I will be going home still
On the procardia and our goal it to make it to the 14 so at least 9 more days and on strict bed rest. My prayer is that we are all healthy and that we can stay at our hospital with our doctor.

This has been hard but I known necessary the hardest part is being away from Grayson I miss him so much but thank goodness for FaceTime.


Here's to getting out tomorrow and making it at least 9 more days just one day at a time

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
