Happy Birthday Tracy! Your present: Contractions!

Happy Birthday Tracy! Your present: Contractions!

Yesterday Tracy and I went to our weekly Friday NST (Non-Stress Test even though Tracy disagrees with that terminology). Now she’s at this point been complaining she’s been “out of breath” for almost 24 hours. Once she gets hooked up to all the monitors and everythings running; the nurse practitioner says, “Do you feel that?” and Tracy responds, “Yes, I feel like i’m out of breath”. “Well,” the nurse says, “that’s a contraction.” At this point, they are 5 minutes apart. A quick check of the cervix shows it’s all closed up and tight. So we’re sent home for Tracy to be basically put on any-kind-of-rest and to return upon any increased pain or increased contractions. Last night she was able to sleep a little bit, so we’re hoping to keep him in there until at least the 20th which he’d be considered “full-term”. Through all of this you have to keep in mind Tracy’s Birthday is on September 15th (Tuesday.) — Which is our next NST :)

Some things we learned, when he goes to come they ready the teams rather quickly (his/hers) and at this point there is nothing they will do to stop him from coming (medications). Also we got her hospital bags packed!!!

We’ll keep everyone updated through here. Your continued prayers we are thankful for :)
