April Fool's Day was one BIG joke!

So the babies take after me a little bit, they like to play jokes already!
I started having contractions in the middle of the night and lots of pressure so by Wednesday morning I thought I better get checked out. I went to my Dr's office and they sent me to labor and delivery. They hooked me up to the monitors and did a swab test to see if I was going to have the babies soon. Well, then I started bleeding a little and they thought one of my sacs had ruptured. UM, YES I FREAKED OUT! I can't even tell you what was going through my head, but I could tell it was going through Jacob's head too, by the look on his face. It was a little scary for about an hour until the dr came and in and checked and made sure it was not my water breaking. Then the perinatologist came in did an ultrasound and made sure there was enough fluid and the babies were okay. What a RELIEF!!!! Well the whole ordeal won me a trip to stay over night and be on monitors. My contractions stopped the babies were wild, all bleeding, pain and pressure were subsiding. The Dr. thinks there might have been a tiny detach in the placenta and that's what caused the bleeding, not a big deal, but am going to have to be on bedrest for awhile. Also, I wasn't dialated or anything so that was good news too. Here's to another 6-8 weeks at least. Feel free to leave suggestions of fun things to do while on your back and go ahead and blog alot so I have some entertainment etc... Also if you have any good reading suggestions or movies let me know.

There is one thing.....it would work, but since you're already pregnat it's probably best to just leave that idea alone! :) Hey you ASKED for an idea, you need to be careful what you ask for! How about count the bumps on the ceiling or connect them to make different shapes. LOL!!! Hope you feel better.

Ideas huh? Haven't seen any good movies lately. Read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It's a good, easy read. Or there's this series called "Twilight"....maybe you've heard of them?

As for blogging, I'm having a baby on Thursday so I might start slacking just a little on that...except for posting cute pics of her. I'll start some games on facebook with you. Do you like Lexulous (scrabble)?
