I've read all your wonderful posts, thank you all so much for your kind words and prayers.
Here is the short story:
Monday morning I had complications and DH took me to the hosptal where I was admitted. They took care of me and said the baby is doing so much better than I was. They gave me drugs to stop labor and it did. I'm still not 100% but I did get to come home. The Dr wants me to make it to 36 weeks, that's 2 weeks away so I'm on bedrest.
In the meantime DH and I have a contract on our house and need to get ready to move!
The longer, more interesting story, with maybe TMI:
Monday morning I woke to something not being right. I called for DH and he came and helped me get ready to go to the hospital. Then he went into the kitchen and fainted! I went in and yelled for him to get up and take me in! So we got it together but on the way we were stopped by the police.
DH explained the situation and the officer said "Good lord man, go!" We made it in with no more mishaps.
They checked me out and said my placenta had torn but the baby was still getting oxygen and food so everything was OK, we just needed to stop the labor. So they put me on magnisium. This was a very very bad thing. My side effects were pretty severe, breathing problems, chest pains. I finally got past the worst thank goodness.
In the meantime, Monday night DH had to meet with our realtor, 3 prospective buyers, finalize our contract for selling our house and sign the papers. Then he had to run by the hosp. and have me sign the papers. We had 4 people want to buy our house!!!!!!!!!!!!! Poor guy has had to set up the moving dates w/o my help and w/o knowing when this baby is going to come. But the house is sold, and the moving date is set for June 1st.
So today they took me off the magnisium and the withdraw symptoms were worse than anything yet. Severe breathing problems and chest pains. Thankfully today I'm much better. But the drug they put me on in place of the mag makes me a big space cadet. And I'm home with strict instructions on what to watch out for and in 2 weeks I come off the drugs and see if baby Thor really is ready to come or not. So he could be here a month early!
This has been hard, really hard. But I've got lots of support. I think I'll have to have my shower here but hopefully I'll make it, and I can't wash all his little things or get the nusery ready for him, I can't get off my deriere long enough to do much or go up and down stairs. All things I was really looking forward to. Oh well. Life gives it to you and then you deal with it. DH and I are strong and apparently Thor is too! Thank you all so much again for your good thoughts and prayers.
