Long time no post!

Well its been awhile since I have updated my blog. Things have just been chugging along so well. The kids have spent their entire summer in the pool! We have had friends and family from out of town visit us, since we cant visit them. Our big adventures this summer were taking the kids out to breakfast and a trip to Costco! Who says you need to go to Disneyland? I can't believe that its August already, where has the time gone???? Jason has been doing so well, he is on crutches now and is able to drive himself! Yes, no more driving him around to all his doctor appointments! Although it was like we were on a date just the two of us with no kids. He is very motivated to get back to normal as soon as possible! He pushes him self very hard in psychical therapy that he still has 3 days a week. He is going to start working from home any day now, as soon as the doctor fills out some paper work. But of course then there is me! Now that I am 29 weeks my body decided that needed some excitement. Things have just been two easy around here I guess. About 3am this morning I woke up with contractions about 5 min apart. I waited almost an hour and then finally told myself to call the doctor. Of course he said to get to the hospital! So then I have to decide ok do I try and drive myself so Jason can stay with the kids? Well after 5 min of thinking that might work my contractions got strong enough that I had to breath thru them. So then the question was, Who do you call at 4am and say, Hey want to come over? Jen and Ken Thomson were so excited to come over and play. So of course when I do get to the hospital my OB had already called to see how I was. After several shots of medication, a few tests and several hours of laying around I was sent home. I will see my OB tomorrow for the official plan, which I am hoping is not total bed rest and more like home arrest. I do know that for me the goal is always to make it to 36 weeks. And that is just fine with me, I don't mind having little babies. So for now I take a wonderful medication Terbutaline that makes me shake with nervous energy while trying to hold still. Being filled with the nesting feeling of wanting to clean the house from top to bottom and organize every drawer or closet, doesn't help the resting that I need to do. But for now I know that the most important thing I can do is keep this little person inside for a while longer. That is what keeps me from going insane! This is just another temporary setback in our lives. This year has been pretty crazy, but the lessons we have learned and still learn are invaluable.
