Unexpected trip to the hospital












On Thursday night Aubyn was having some lower abdominal pain. She reluctantly decided she should go in to the hospital where her doctor was the ER doctor on call. Expecting to be there 1/2 hour, the doctor checked her out and told her she'd be there atleast 1 night. The situation was that she had a bladder infection(UTI). The UTI was causing her to have contractions(1 every 3 minutes). At one point the doctor gave a steroid shot to Aubyn which helps develop the baby's lungs as the doctor said "in case this is the real thing". Aubyn's response was something to the effect of "no this can't be the real thing". Anyway, they gave her the shot and treated her infection as well as gave her muscle relaxer for the contractions. She ended up staying thursday night, all day friday, and friday night. She's out now and feeling good. She has had small contractions but only a couple an hour so with rest today and tomorrow she should be fine to work on tuesday. She's only 31 weeks complete now so its too early. The baby is in strange positions. Still breach and moving and kicking all the time. Hopefully it turns at some point. The hospital stay wasn't much fun but it did give us good orientation of the hospital and got us used to the atmosphere. We hope not to go back until early February.
