One day at a time

So up until a few days ago, there was nothing to update. No news was good news, right? Well, day before yesterday things changed a little. About 5 pm, I started having contractions again. Nothing painful, but about every 7 minutes apart. Just felt a little tightening. They gave me a bolus of my medicine through my pump and that seemed to ease them. then about 9 or 9:30 pm that night, they were back. Same as before. Nothing painful. Actually, on these, I barely even noticed them. I told then nurse that I had felt 2 contractions, and she said, "well, you're having a few more than that." I asked how many, and she said they were every 6-7 minutes again. I was frustrated, but they gave me another bolus of my medicine and they stopped. I had a few yesterday morning, when they were monitoring me, and my doctor's nurse practitioner was already on the floor, so she increased my basal (continuous) rate on my medicine up by 10%.  That seemed to knock them out again. Then nothing all day, until last night. The nurse came in to put me on the monitor (they do this twice a day, unless I feel something, then they'll put me on more often), and I had told her that I felt good and that I had been behaving! Unfortunately, the monitor showed something different! I was contracting every 5-6 minutes! Grrrr!! I hadn't even been feeling them until I had to lay back and relax-that made me think of nothing else but the contractions. This was very frustrating. They gave me another bolus dose of medicine and it helped ease them, but I was so frazzled. Why does this keep happening?? I had a breakdown after all this last night, but I'm better today. I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow!! I'll have been in the hospital for 4 weeks tomorrow, but hopefully, I only have about 2 weeks in here left. The hopeful plan is to send me home on bedrest at 34 weeks, then possibly stop the medicine pump (terbutaline) at 36 weeks. Hopefully, Reagan will hold out til then!! This weekend will be a test though-it's a full moon Saturday!! The night I came in in pre-term labor was a full moon too!! I'll update as things go along!
