Reagan's still in charge

Well, things were going really well. Until late last night. I mean, they're still going well, things just snagged last night. About 10 pm last night, I started having contractions again. After monitoring for a little while, the nurse called the doctor and they gave me a fluid bolus and one shot of terbutaline. I was able to sleep for a while after that. Then this morning, they put me on the monitor again and the contractions started back up. They were about 7-8 minutes apart today, and lasting about a minute each. My maternal-fetal medicine doctor was up on the floor at this time. After a while of being on the monitor and deciding what to do, they decided to stop my procardia pills tonight and they went on and gave me another shot of terbutaline and then put me on a terbutaline continuous subcutaneous pump (it's kindof like an insulin pump). So my contractions have now stopped, at least for the time being. And I'm going to be getting another ultrasound on Monday. It won't decide of going home anytime soon-I'm going to be here for a while-but it may tell us if the contractions caused my cervix to thin even more. And they're going to measure Reagan to see if she's grown more. So we'll just continue to take it one day at a time, and hope that Reagan doesn't decide to change our plans!
