Warning...this is a long post without pictures...read at your own risk!

So wed. I went to Dr. Atkinson's office for my progestrone shot, to be put on the monitor and for them to check my cervix. Just another weekly visit for me pretty much...so I thought. When I got there I got my shot and Wade looked good on the monitor and I wasn't having anymore contractions (the medicine was workin) so all that was left was to check my cervix. So we go in and she looks and says "oh no, i think it's funneling." WHAT!!! How could that be? I've been on bedrest for a solid week and I was GOOD too. I got up to get a drink or something to eat...went to the bathroom and laid back down on the couch..."so what does this mean?" ..well turns out when they would press lightly on my belly (which acts as a light contraction) my cervix would open and the baby was right there at the opening cause he is already so low. Even when they weren't pressing on it though it was slightly open and pressing up which tells the doctor my cervix is getting ready to thin and dialte. SOOOOO here I am in the hospital on bedrest. I cried for a good day cause there was so much I still had planned to do at home. I'm over it now because I know the main thing is that Wade cook longer in my belly. All I want is a healthy, fully developed little boy. If that means laying here until he's ready to enter this world then that's what I'll gladly do for him.

Yesterday I got a pump put in that distributes medicine all throughout the day. The medicine keeps me from having contractions and so far it's working...down side is that they have to change it every 10 days. This means redoing the whole thing. It wasn't horrible but sure wasn't fun either. They basically stick a needle up under my thigh and run a small cathiter in my leg...pull the needle out and the cathiter stays in...then I get to carry this cute little pager looking thing around everywhere.

Please just keep us in your prayers...Our goal right now is to make it to 30 weeks and then to 32 weeks and the to 34 weeks. Everyone will feel so much better if I can make it to 34 weeks...That's August 14th so that's what I'm shooting for! I just hope that's what Wade's shooting for too!

(sorry there aren't any pics...my camera is being fixed and then I'll post some belly pics)
