Hospital Stay- Day 3

I'm pretty much settled in and things are going well. Here's Hudson's new picture!



Yesterday morning I started having contractions again, so they gave me a Terbutaline shot to stop them, and that did the trick. They doubled my dose of daily contraction medicine, (Procardia), so I'm now taking one in the morning and evening. Saturday evening I had some more contractions, however after taking my second dose of medicine, they stopped.

They started me on my progesterone steroids, and will continue those daily until I'm 36 weeks, or obviously, until Hudson comes--whichever is first.

They won't take Hudson's measurements until another week. I think he's getting big. When I was hooked up to the monitor yesterday, he had several "fetal heart accelerations" which they said are good to see. At his stage of development, they like to see him have at least two heart accelerations within 15 minutes, and last night, he had ten! So he's doing great!

They will measure my cervix again in a few days. Until then, I'm enjoying the surprisingly good food and enjoying lots of movies! The doctors think I will be here for awhile, so that's good, as far as Hudson goes!

    Hey Allison & Blake,

    We just finished eating with your mom, dad, Beau and Sarah. We sure missed you two (three)!! We talked and decided that your dad could wear Papaw's kilt when Hudson makes his grand entrance! Just kidding! But with Frank, who knows? We are keeping all three of you in our prayers daily. Hudson's pictures are so cute. I can't tell who he favors. We look forward to welcoming him to the McLeod family. Love, Pamey & Uncle Mel

    Hi you three... Alek and Conner wanted to comment.."Hudson is so cute mama!!" ;-) They are excited about their newest cousin...

    I see Pam and Mel commented above. Please give them my love...Ami, Jodi, Hunter and Caden too. Do you see them often? I remember a time when you and Ami were inseperable...joined at the hip, as great uncle Gene would say. ;-)

    Hugs to you all...
