Well I guess I was supposed to update this earlier today, because several friends from work were checking to see an update. This morning I got to work and I knew I wasn't feeling very well. However, we have so much going on at school that I felt if I just get there I would eventually feel better. Well I got there and started getting abdominal pains. I had a few last night, and went to bed early but they kept coming back. So I called my doctor's office and they suggested I go to the hospital and be observed. I left school and called Mike to tell him I was headed to the hospital. He met me at the house and we drove down there together.
Once we got there I was actually the only person in the ER...that never happens! I was quickly taken up to Labor and Delivery and hooked up to the monitors. At first my contractions were 7 minutes apart and then changed to 6 minutes. When the contractions got to about 4 1/2 minutes apart, the nurse called my doctor. She gave me a series of 3 shots to stop the contractions, and now I'm take a pill every 6 hours to keep the contractions from coming back. She did check my cervix twice and it is still hard and not dilated. Also, my test for preterm labor came back negative, so that is great news. So although I lost my mucous plug and had contractions, I feel fine. I am going to finish work next week, and sit as much as possible. Thank you for all of your concerns and prayers. I am determined to keep Miss McKenna baking for a few more weeks, so hopefully the contractions are gone.

You and Miss McKenna are definitely in our prayers here. I was so worried about you leaving yesterday morning, please keep me posted and let little Miss McKenna bake a little bit longer (I love that saying =). You still do not need to be over doing it missy! I will try and be up there as much as I possible can . . .
