My Eventful Pregnancy

Monday Morning:

So it looks like my drs and I will be getting to know each other quite well between now and when I have Eli. From now on I will be seeing them every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. On Monday's I will go and be hooked up the monitor to monitor contractions. I will also be meeting with the dr. On Wednesday's I go in for blood work and to turn in my 24 hour urine test that I have to do once every week until I deliver. On Thursday's I will have ultrasounds to measure Eli's growth, blood flow and fluid levels. They'll also be checking my cervix. Today I went and had several big contractions and have dilated to 2 cm so they've put me on procardia to stop contractions. The contractions were not consistent but they kept me hooked up for 2 hours to monitor them and said I had too many this early on in the game. Right now they are letting me stay at home on bedrest instead of going into the hospital again. I am feeling the contractions which is a little scary since I didn't feel any with Caleb until I was 7 cm dilated. I'm hoping the procardia helps. Anyway, they are trying to keep Eli in there at least until I am 35 weeks. She said most likely I'll go in to the hospital next week to have a steriod shot if something doesn't happen between then and now. We'll see.....

Monday evening:
Okay so I took my procardia at 5 and the contractions got worse, not better. I called dr around 7 just to see when meds should start kicking in. She sent me to labor and delivery where they hooked me up and found I was still contracting. So they gave me more procardia and made me wait. Turns out I was dehydrated and they are now thinking I have gestational diabetes on top of everything else that I have wrong with me. Last week when I was in the hospital they mentioned that I had sugar spilling over into my urine but didn't act like it was a big deal. Tonight though she said I need to let my dr know so that they can start monitoring my sugar. I thought they would tell the dr?!??! They finally let me go home with an upped dose of procardia. I now have to take it every four hours as opposed to every six. I'll do my 24 urine test tomorrow, blood work Wednesday and then thursday ultrasound and dr appointment. Anyone else finished being pregnant!?!?!? I'm just done with everything. I really think I have had almost every pregnancy issue there is and I'm just tired!!!!!!! I know he needs to hang in there a couple of more weeks but I am so miserable.
