I thought I should post about my last couple days to give an update for the people who know what has been going on and to inform those who don't.
On Saturday afternoon I went into labor and delivery because I had been feeling a lot of pressure and back pain. The pressure turned out to be contractions which were 2-3 minutes apart. Once that was determined things started happening very quickly. They gave me an ivy, took lots of tests, and discussed Madigan (which is another Navy hospital about 30 minutes away that is able to handle pre mature babies because they are not.) They gave me a shot of tributaline (spelling?) and the contractions slowed for a while but came back about 4 minutes apart. The good news is that the contractions weren't pushing me any farther, then when I had gotten there, into labor. So they tried another medication Nifedipine which kept the contractons down to under 6 an hour. Which is good! So now I am at home on "modified bed rest" taking the medicine every six hours. Brian called this morning which was the greatest answer to prayer thus far and let me know he would be coming home very soon.
I just have to say how gratful I am that my prayers were answered. That I have a loving father in heaven who cares about me inspite of my MANY MANY short comings. I am the most grateful for the peace I have felt the last couple of days knowing that weither or not he was able to come that it would be okay. I am so lucky to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life and count my many blessings everyday. I am so lucky to have the GREATEST relief society presidencey on the face of the plant to help until Brian is able to get home. I feel so lucky that my kids have so many people who love them and are willing to take them in. I sure hope they are behaving themselves! Thanks for all the prayers and kinds thoughts and phone calls. The baby is doing well we just need to keep him in for quite a while longer. So, please contintue to pray for that. I know that God is in control and things will work out! Thanks again!
