Monday morning...

Well, nothing too exciting last night. I did start to have not painful contractions around 3am that were becoming consistant, so they gave me a shot of trebuteline which is supposed to stop contractions but makes you feel like you've had 20 Red Bulls. Your heart feels like it is going to pop out of your chest and you get the shakes. The medicine did what it is supposed to do and stopped the contractions.

The doctor came this morning and wants to go ahead and induce me today or tomorrow. She was going to talk with the neonatologist to get his/her opinion but she doesn't want me to just sit around and wait for fear of infection. Since the baby will have the full effects of the steroid shots, she thinks it would be better not to chance an emergency induction. The neonatologist will have the final say as to when, so when I hear, I will update you all. It will either be after 4pm today or sometime tomorrow.

Thanks for all your continued prayers...
