Latest Dr. Update

We went back to the dr. on Monday! I was very eager to see how the baby was doing and to make sure that I am doing everything I can to prolong this process. We got great news! I haven't dilated anymore since last Monday night and the dr. thinks the medicine is stopping the process. Of course that means I am still on the medicine and will be probably until the baby is born, but my body is adjusting and I can handle it. Luckily, I am on 2.5mg of breathin(?) every 4 hours around the clock. The dr. thinks my body will eventually get used to that dosage and I will have to increase it when the contractions continue to happen even on the medicine. He did go ahead and order the steroid shots. I took one Monday afternoon and will have to go back this afternoon for the second and last one! The shots help the baby's lungs develop faster in case we can't stop the contractions and I have to deliver. This is strictly precaution, but it does ease my mind in case we can't stop them. His goal for me is 35 weeks, which is 1 month away! Of course if we make that goal-then my goal is at least 37 weeks. Got to be optimistic!! I am now going every week to the dr. and bed rest week #2 will begin! Thank you for all the prayers, calls, emails, etc! Please continue to pray for our family as we go through this situation!
