Not a good pregnancy week...prayers needed

[kim21673]

I am officially on bedrest...I guess that means I have LOTS of scrapping time but oh, I am going to be stressing at how I can entertain VERY active 3 and 4year old boys!!! DH's boss is VERY understanding and is allowing him to work from home 3 days a week so he can help out and our parents will come and help out too...but they both live a few hours away.

I will be 31 weeks tomorrow and am dilated already. We are hoping to be able to make it to 36 weeks...so here's to baking Baby Derek another 5 weeks...praying for longer. All three of my boys were born at 36 weeks and two were in the NICU for the first week of their life...we were really hoping to avoid the NICU this time around but it's not looking like we will.

I went in on Friday for my normal weekly appt...progesterone shot and doctor visit. I told them I was having a few contractions and pressure so they hooked me up to the Non-stress Test machine and did an internal exam....they sent me immediately to the hospital for further testing, steroid shots to help with lung development and observation. I went back in yesterday for another NST and my second steroid shot.

I could use lots of prayers that Baby Derek bakes for at least 5 weeks....we would love 6 more weeks though!

Being on bedrest is going to be tough but it's all worth it!

Thanks a bunch,
Kim
