Today is a happy day! I survived yesterday -- which was a fairly 'contracty' day -- with the help of three extra doses of Terbutaline! Doctor Anton said this morning that my limit is 5 mg. of Terb. every four hours and then 20mg. of Nifetipine every six hours. So, if it gets to the point where I'm getting that much and the contractions still haven't slowed down then it'll be time to put me back on the IV of Magnesium. She also reassured me that while the specialists that do the ultrasounds say they'd send me home at 32 weeks, she's in no rush to kick me out. While they supposedly don't see that much of a change in the cervix between 32-34 weeks (if I were to go home for bed rest and contractions didn't pick up), from a Preemie-development perspective, it's much smarter to keep me here until at least 34. Anyway, it's all speculation at this point and we do need to take it one day at a time, but it's nice to have an extra cautious doctor who won't send me home before it's really safe.

So, back to today being a happy day. Matthew is having a fun playdate this morning at a friend's house, and Mike is here working on his laptop (as I work ever so diligently on mine -- updating my blog, emailing, and maybe getting some EE database entry done too). So, we're in the same room for a few hours! Then, he'll go pick up Matthew and bring him here so that we can have some time together before he goes to nap and spend the rest of the day and night at 'Grandma & D-Dad's' [that's how Matthew says Grandad and the nickname has stuck]. Mike and I get to have our dinner and date night tonight, so no calls, please! :)
