**Feel free not to read this post. I'm writing it down so I have a record of it. I found that it was nice to go back and read my post about preterm labor with Jackson and see everything that went on.**
A few days before Valentines day my lower back started to hurt but I didn't think much about it. I've had more pains and aches this pregnancy and I just figured that it had been a really long week with Ross going to school, studying for boards and the having his boards review class all weekend that made me sore. On Tuesday evening my back started to get worse so I put heat on it and took some medicine but they didn't do anything to help me. I had a really rough night and I work up that next morning and it was still there. I started to think back when I went into preterm labor with Jackson and it was feeling the same way.. I honestly tried to fight it saying it wasn't as bad, and I went into preterm because I went mini golfing with Tyler :) I told Ross that morning before he left to school that I thought it could be the same that I would wait and see how it felt that day and when he got back if I still felt the same I would go get it checked. Ross left and a few hours later I started having some front cramping so I called my doctor to see what they thought and they told me to go straight to hospital. I knew they were going to say that but you always hope for the best. I called Ross told him he needed come home so I could go to the hospital. Jackson was down for his nap and has had a cough so I told Ross to stay home with him that I was ok to go alone! He wasn't happy but I thought it would be quick.
When I got to the hospital they set me up in this ghetto room thats like an ER room where there are like five other girls in there and just curtains separating us. Maybe I'm just stuck up growing up it Utah where I got my own room but I just thought it was weird. The nurse was getting all of my information and if there was a crazy in there they would have everything to ruin my life, name, bday, ss and address. I was thinking do you want my bank account number too so these people can take all my money while stealing my identity! Then she ask all my medical history do you have ads, herpes, chlamydia etc haha I just laughed and was glad I wasn't a whore and could happily say no to all of them. Anyway they hooked me up to the NST and I saw right off the great news.. Contraction!! I was having them every two to three minutes just like I did with Jackson. I was so bugged! I don't know why my body doesn't like the baby anymore and goes into pretrem around this time in my pregnancy. So they monitored me for hours and they weren't stopping so they gave me a shot to stop them. It made me super gittery but it worked and the contractions stopped! The doctor came in asked if I had family around to take care of me I said no, he then asked if I had any help and I said yes I had Ross and some friends that were there. He just sat there for awhile and then said I'm not going to put you on bed rest but you can't do anything haha I think if I would have had family around I would be on bed rest but I'm just taking it easy now! Ross has gone Nazi on me and I feel like I'm on house arrest! He hasn't let me do anything and gets mad every time I get up.. I had been thinking how sweet he was caring about me until I was doing something and he told be to sit down that I can't have this baby for another month because he has to take his boards and he can't have me go crazy with a new baby and a two year old when he needs to study!! I asked if thats the only reason he is doing all of this and he didn't hesitate and said YES haha So he really doesn't care about my well being but passing his test!! I can't say that I blame him though!
It's been a week since I went to the hospital and I've been really sore questioning if I was having contraction or not.I figured it wasn't because when I would take some medicine and ross would rub my back and it would feel a little better. I'm guessing that my nerve and muscles are just sore or swollen from the contraction. Today I feel much better though and can walk without much pain!
My poor little whore. I laughed when you talked about being squeaky clean and not having any STD's. It's funny how much junk people can really have and how often people look at you like, really you have never had one and you don't smoke/drink? Yup. Squeaky clean! I'm sorry dear friend your body doesn't like the last month of pregnancy. Good job Ross for putting you on house arrest...but it does blow having a husband who enforces such rules. I wish I could help you out...but being sick with child I can't do much :(. What a pair we make! Good luck and we will pray that your little one cooks a little bit longer!
