Well another trip to St. Peters Saturday night. I was in denial that I needed to go (I knew an IV would be in the plan), but its good that I did because I was, at one point, having contractions every 1-2 minutes. So now I am on an anti-contraction drug (terutaline) which has really minimized the contractions. The side effects include increasing your (and the baby's) heart rate and it makes me really shakey. It is used alot in treating contractions and preterm labor with no worries about the babies from what I have read. My OB convinced me that it would be worse to deliver the babies now (at 27+ weeks) than to take the medication and leave them cooking. SO that's what I am doing. Catching up on all of my Friday the 13th's, Halloween's, and other ghoulie movies (see how unproductive this whole bedrest can make a usually productive person).
Rich and I also started a registry at pottery barn kids and on amazon this weekend. He will be taking me to babiesrus Saturday so I can finish it off ~ I think he will just get a kick pushing me around in a wheelchair for awhile. I have realized that babies need alot of stuff even if you try to cut out alot of the unnecessary baby fluff. Sheesh. I am trying not to register for 2 of everything, I feel like they need some individuality once they are here ~ I am just not one of those mom's that wants to dress them alike and all of that. Well, it may not be a problem if they are a boy and a girl, but we won't know that until they get here....whenever that may be. More to follow on that by Rich who is working on the baby pool, but I will let him explain.
