Right after the worrisome OB visit on Friday - Saturday and Sunday's days of bed(sofa)rest were supposed to slow down any ripening of the cervix and slow down the funneling that was present in the ultrasound.  Needless to say - a picture says a thousand words and once Sunday came around - Norma started to have some pretty good back pain, cramps, and her belly was pretty hard. A phone call to our OB and he suggested to wait and see if it was temporary and if not, head into Labor and Delivery.

Well that lasted about 2 hours when the symptoms for pre-term labor (PTL) didn't go away and we decided it was fine time to head to Overlake Hospital to make sure they can check what's going on. The nurses here are fantabulous and are treating us great. They confirmed with the baby monitor that Norma was having contractions. A shot of Terbutaline (a tocolytic that stops contractions) and her belly was back to normal. Mind you that it makes your heart beat like a race horse, but it worked right away to calm her restless tummy.

So now we wait. Overnight - till tomorrow morning so they can run more tests and be certain that those babies are staying in her belly and we'll see if the bedrest continues at home (we hope) or here in the hospital.
