I have been having contractions for the last several weeks and we have been watching them and taking it easy. Last Thursday I had them every 3-5 minutes for a couple of hours so I ended up at the hospital with IV fluids and a med to make them stop. Thankfully, even with all the contractions, I was not dilated on Thursday night. All weekend I have been taking my medicine and taking it easy, but I am still have contractions off and on. So, today, the doctor said to stay on the couch, stop working and to come into the office tomorrow.
Laying on the couch for the next little bit does not sound like fun, but it is much better than having a baby at 30 1/2 weeks. I am bummed that this is the way things are going, but we will do what we can do to try to keep this little girl from being born for several more weeks! We appreciate your prayers for no more contractions and a healthy little girl in July (no sooner!).

Thinking of you, Kelli! I know it's not easy to just rest with the two kids!
Oh my word, bed rest is not fun I am sure. But I am with you, give that girl some more cookin' time!
We will definitely be praying! I wish we were closer to help out for the next several weeks.
Oh man... I'm so sorry about the required bed rest, but if it keeps little girl in the womb longer, then I'll just keep praying for strength and peace, and lots of rest!
So sorry Kelli! Bed rest is so hard with kids at home! Praying you will have plenty of help and patience!
praying for you big time!!
