Is it January yet?

Hi Everyone~
Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. Being on bed "arrest" has finally taken it's toll on me emotionally. I won't lie, it's been a rough couple of weeks.

I am now on two different medications to help keep my contractions under control and I have been diagnosed as having an "irritable uterus". Basically this means that my uterus is triggered by a variety of things, like having a full bladder, being dehydrated (no win situation there), nausea, changing positions, babies shifting, etc, etc. If the contractions don't cause any changes to my cervix then they are considered more of an annoyance than anything else. Since my cervix has shortened, it's a different situation. I am being monitored weekly by my High Risk OB to make sure there is no dilating going on. As long as there is no dilation I can continue on bed rest at home. If I start to dilate then I go on hospital bed rest.

Jeff is continuing to take good care of me. Unfortunately I am still suffering from all day sickness, so keeping me fed is quite a challenge, to say the least. Family and friends are also helping out with a variety of things and for that we are grateful.

I'll be 25 weeks on Tuesday and the boys are looking good and moving around A LOT. My hope is that December is uneventful and flies right by. That's a weird thing to say since December is usually my favorite month of the year. 51 days until Inauguration Day, which will be a HUGE milestone for us.

Thank you for all of your positive thoughts and prayers. They are helping me "keep my eyes on the prize" that is at the end of all of this.

Love to all, Rebeca
