Home again!!!

So the terrible incident that occurred two weeks ago occurred once again at 2:30 a.m. Monday morning. Just like the first time, I just started bleeding. Got out of bed and headed for the hospital. They admitted me and Erik and Avery went home for the rest of the night. I am so blessed to have great friends who were so willing to take Avery and make this experience a lot easier on us. Thank you guys so much for everything! I definitely didn't think I was getting out this time. Every time I spoke to my doctor that is the impression he gave me. I could tell he wanted to play it safe. (Can't blame him) But the idea of being in the hospital for a month while passing my child around and my husband loosing his mind cause he's in dental school full time and doesn't have time for the madness that had now been placed on his shoulders was killing me. I laid there feeling helpless. The strangest part was the night I was admitted, the monitor said I was contracting every 4 to 5 minutes. Not good, which is probably what caused the bleeding. The contracting is squeezing that low lying placenta. So they gave me probably the most painful shot I have ever had to stop the contractions of course another huge I.V. just in case I needed a blood transfusion, blood draw and two shots in my butt for Konner's lungs. Yes, not very fun! My wrists have no other spots for an I.V. and they are getting scared from each one. Lucky for me a doctor surprised Erik and I last night when he came in and said I could go. He said I may just end up right back there but there's probably no reason I couldn't be doing at home what I'm doing in the hospital. So true! So he gave me medication to slow any contractions and hopefully stop my uterus from squeezing that placenta!  I won't lie, last night was tough for me to sleep. I was so scared I would wake up in blood again. I woke up like every hour to make sure everything was ok. I set alarms to take my meds and empty my bladder cause apparently a full bladder can make you have contractions. I've wondered cause it seemed to in my case. Please pray for me. I just want to make it a few more weeks and then he can just come out and all of this can be past us!

So glad you are at least able to be in your own bed/couch! That has to be a million times better then a hospital bed. This has to be so frustrating and nerve racking for you guys! Lots of thoughts and prayers for you guys!! :)
