another close call

This past wednesday night I didn't sleep a wink. I contracted the whole night. I figured I had an appointment that following morning so I would see what was going on then. When she did her normal transvaginal ultrasound it showed my cervix as 1.5cm long instead of the 2.5 it was the previous week and the baby's head was really pushing down on my cervix so she decided to "check" me. She said I was about 85% effaced, 1-2cm dilated and the baby was sitting at a +1 station. Not good! She put me on the monitor for a while to watch my contractions and then decided I may be in labor and that I needed to go straight to the hospital. I was so freaked out because my husband had just left that morning to Vegas for business. I called him and told him he needed to come home. In the mean time I had my mother-in-law and my three sister-in-laws right there to support me. During my stay they put me on an IV drip of magnesium sulfate and antibiotics. Let me just say mag sucks! It is so harsh on the body. I was so hot and flushed, heart racing, dizzy, tired, sick, and I was starving cause I hadn't eaten anything and they put me on a clear liquid diet.errr.. After a long day Jordan finally made it and settled in for a long, uncomfortable night. I was so exhausted but couldn't sleep from the discomforts of the mag and the hourly bathroom trips. Jordan and his dad gave me a blessing that night and I prayed I wouldn't have to spend my birthday in the hospital. Finally around 1PM on Friday they sent me home with a new Dr. and heavier meds.Please keep us in your prayers. Little Savannah needs to hang in there just a bit longer. Hey, I at least need to make it to my baby shower!!
