Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

I wish I had good news....
I went to the doctors yesterday to follow up from being at labor and delivery Tuesday night. He was great and went over a lot of things with me. At first he was thinking my body was just practicing for labor and that we didn't have too much to worry about. He wanted to do some q-tip test and said if it came back negative then we would have at least 2 weeks to not worry. When he went to do the test he found that I had already dialated to a 2 and told me I needed to head straight to the hospital for a steroid shot to help Gavins lungs develop and then straight home to bed and to remain in bed at all times unless I need to pee. My mom had taken me to the doctor because Court had work so we stopped by on the way to the hospital to tell him what the doctor had said. As soon as I saw him I broke down. This has by far been one of the scariest things we have had to go through. On the way to the hospital I started having more contractions so when I got there I was hooked up to the monitors and given another Turb shot to stop my contractions. Court was able to leave work to be with me. We spent a couple hours there again and my contractions stopped and we were sent home to rest. This morning I have had maybe 2 contractions but now I have the Turb medicine in pill form to take. I am now spending my time at my moms house while Court works so that I am closer to the hospital and have someone around in case something does happen. I just received a call from the doctor I saw yesterday with some more bad news. The test he did came back positive meaning it found a hormone on my cervix indicating that changes are happening and it does not mean that I will deliver in the next two weeks but the chance is greater. This has been so hard to deal with today I am having to quit my job at the spa and call all of my clients and tell them I can no longer do their nails. I will miss everyone so much and wasn't ready to stop yet. I know this is for the best and Gavin and my health is most important right now. It has just been a lot to take in. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers and I will keep you posted as much as I can. Thanks for everyones support!

I'm so sorry to hear that there isn't any good news. I guess you can always think of the positive that every day that Gavin is in there is one more day that he is healthier and growing strong. Hang in there and again if I can do anything please let me know.
