After taking my no-mo contraction pills, laying on my left side and counting contractions every 2 minutes for the next 45 minutes I fell fast asleep. I'm assuming they went away, since they are gone now :)
I also wasn't too worried because at my non stress test appointment on Wed. I was still dilated to a 1 and my **fetal fibronectin test came back negative.
UGH ! Nanny Nicole is gone. She went home for the weekend to go to a family reunion. She will be back on Monday at 5 pm. The kids will be spending today and Monday at Miss Monique's. I am in charge of the kids until 10:30 am today and I'm as-keard. At this point in my pregnancy it really is hard to manage 3 little people. It makes me appreciate Nicole being here even more.
Last night Mommy J was mowing the lawn and Spencer fell while climbing the rock wall to the 2nd level of the playhouse and cut his lip really bad.
There was a really long gash on the inside of his lip and scratches on the outside. Poor guy. Just so those of you who are coming up behind me know....unless the lip won't stop bleeding or there is a flap of skin that you can say, fit a cheerio in....they heal better without stitches.
J brought him inside, I gave him Tylenol, cleaned him up, gave him a drink and he was off and playing. He's such a tough little guy.
Mommy J on the other hand can't seem to handle blood and guts any more. We are both concerned with the idea of a C-section. She is surely to pass out.
I'm off to cuddle with Spencer. he's the only one awake and laying next to me with his covers up to his chin and both hands behind his head. I love that kid.
**Fetal Fibronectin is a protein that glues the placenta to the uterus. If this protein is present around the cervix it means that the glue is disintegrating and that you may deliver in the next 2 weeks. If it's not present it gives you a 99% chance of not delivering in the next 2 weeks. this is how it was explained to me.

I had the fFN test done four weeks ago... It came back negative. Two weeks ago, it came back positive... I'm still hanging in there (although I'm 3cm and 50%). My "official" due date is August 12th, so we're pushing for at least a July 4th cut off without her bouncing out to greet the world... I can understand that fear though, especially considering a little over a week ago, I was in the L&D unit with contractions every 3 minutes for god knows how many hours only to be told that since my cervix wasn't changing (thank friggen god), that it was an irritable uterus... Lovely.
Poor little man. I'm so excited you're hanging in. Those babies are going to be good and cooked before they see the world. That's awesome. You go super prego!
ahh poor spencer... what a strong guy!
I haven't had the Fetal Fibronectin test done yet... wonder when they will do that? I go back Wednesday, I guess I will have to ask.
Glad you are still hanging in there!!!
That is one tough kid! OW! I am so very impressed at how much you still do given your condition - Wonder Woman I tell ya!
Wow Spence...tough kid!
I'm impressed with how you stay so calm....that probably keeps the contractions at bay as much as the magic pills. You are doing so great!!!!
Just think though... with a c-section, there's a big 'ole curtain up so J won't have to see anything but your arms & head!!
Glad Spencer is ok!
Glad you and the babes are hanging in there. Poor Spencer, I'm glad he handled it like a pro!
Poor little guy spencer, im glad hes ok...
Glad that youre hanging in there...
:o)
yikes on the contractions, that sounds aweful! glad you've made it this far already though!
sorry about Spence, he's a tough little guy.
i hope nannie nicole doesn't decide to stay home after this weekend, she knows thats not an options, right?
hope you guys have a great weekend!
Dude! Thank goodness for the no-mo contraction pills. Sheesh you're going to be popping those like crazy it sounds.
Poor Spencer! He looks like such a big boy in that picture!
Aww, I hope Spencer feels better soon (I suppose he does now that I go back and see that he was playing shortly afterward).
Now, listen here Missy. You do not want to have a NICU experience if you can at all help it. So, any more scary contractions warrant a call to the doctor. Okay? Your little ones have a few more weeks of cooking to do.
And as for the C-section, Isaac is very squimish. I mean the sight of blood has been know to make him on the verge of passing out. That said, he watched my section. He described in great detail to me what was going on. So, you just never know. J may actually be okay in the end and watch the whole thing!
Poor Spencer :-(
Glad to hear your ctx stopped. Did you have a c/s last time? I think I missed that part of the story.
owie owie owie, for you and for spencer! i'm glad he's doing all right and handling it like the tough little guy he is.
Scary on the contractions, but I'm glad they went away. You can't go into labor while Nanny Nicole is away! You wait til she gets back, ya hear?
How long is she there for anyhow? when does she leave for good?
Ali, haven't had a c-section yet...which makes me feel I'm due for one :)
Baby A is head down so I'm still in good shape right now. But you just never know.
Liz, Nanny Nicole is coming back. She only took a carry on, her room is CHUCK full of stuff....she HAS to come back :)
She is staying with us through the end of August.
Oh and girlspeaks. Good luck keeping that baby in. It sounds like you've done a great job so far.
Wow its so close now! I can't believe it...I might not even see you tomorrow!!!
Oh one more thing, thanks much for the suggestions on my blog. It helps to hear what others have to say. I know I'm waiting for the magical answer about her, just give her two drops of this and she'll be her old self again.
You do NOT have permission to have those babies yet! Stop it. I insist.
Hey! We have the same taste in sheets!
Bless his heart. He looks like such a kid. I have noticed that the kid either picks their mouth or their forehead to lead with and that is the usual site of injury. I am guessing he is a mouth kid.
Glad to hear the babies are still cooking and your hanging in there. Oh poor Spencer, hope he feels better and the booboo heals fast.
Poor baby boy - they are so resilient. I know you were totally dreading the few hours you had to be alone with them on Friday-hope you got through it OK. Even a few minutes alone when you're 33 wks pg w/ twins is a lot. Hang in girl - she'll be back any minute.
