Baby scare/Mother's Day

Since the 32 week update, I had the three days off to lay around and try to learn how to relax as the doctor instructed me to.  On Saturday I returned back to work, but around 10 am the contractions that I was having between 10-30 mins apart started coming 5-10 minutes apart.  I grabbed a stool and propped my feet up and tried to relax as much as I could while at work.  As the day went on they got more intense and got down to 3-5 minutes apart.  About 4 pm I decided that they weren't going to slow down no matter what I did and called our doctor in which told us to head to the hospital.  I left work and grabbed Luke at home and went to the hospital.  They hooked me up to a monitor and the contractions were indeed coming every 3-5 mins.  They did some other testing on me which showed that the contractions that I was having weren't active labor contractions, so they gave me a shot of terbutaline to help slow the contractions down and monitored me for another 45 mins.  The contractions did slow down and got less intense for about 30-45 mins, so they sent me home with the same instructions just to take it easy and follow up at my doctors office on Friday   So hopefully this little booger stays in for at least another 4 weeks or longer.  
Sunday I was supposed to work also but because of the scare the day before I got to stay home.  Well Sunday morning I did get to lay around and rest until about lunch time when we headed over to Luke's parents house for lunch that his mom made for the entire family. 


Then we came home so I could get another little nap in before heading to my mom's for some dinner.  We sat by the pool and enjoyed some pizza, cheesecake, and some pie!!  
I have now dropped my work schedule from working 13 hour shifts to working 8 hour shifts so hopefully it might help hold this little guy in a little longer!!
