Hospital

At the request of Erin I am making a post on her behalf.

Last night at about 8:45 PM Erin started having strong contractions every 2 minutes, consistently. Keep in mind we are only 29 weeks along in our pregnancy. After about 90 minutes of continued contractions and lots of stress Erin called the on-call doctor. Of course, the doctor wanted Erin and I to get to the ER as soon as possible.

We got to the hospital about 10:30 PM and went straight up to labor and delivery. Erin was given lots of drugs; some taken by shots, some pills and the rest through an IV. Most of the drugs Erin was given took a pretty good toll on her body so she didn't get much sleep last night. This morning Erin didn't show any strong signs of pre-labor so she continues to rest, drink lots of water, eat regularly and stay on her 4-hour cycle of medication.

I came home tonight to do a post, catch up on some work and then get some sleep so I can go back into work tomorrow. Caitlyn has been spending some time with her Babcia and Grandma these last 24-hours and probably will through tomorrow night too.

Please say a prayer for a tired and sore Erin. Erin is expected back home tomorrow afternoon where I am sure she will have more to say.
