The facts.

The past few days have been a whirlwind of events and emotion. Wednesday night I began to experience pretty strong contractions that continued most of the day on Thursday. I called our nurse and she told me if we had another night like Wednesday night, we should go into the hospital to get evaluated.

Well, we were up most of the night Thursday night just hoping to make it until morning. Friday morning finally came. We made arrangements for a dear friend to come over to our house to watch Aubri and we went to the hospital.

Once at the hospital, we saw on the monitor that my contractions were regular and about 3-4 minutes apart. I had no sign of dilation so they determined that I was not in "active labor." I was given medicine to slow my contractions and pain medicine. I was sent home with contractions 5-6 minutes apart, but they were much more tolerable.

I slept most of the evening and through the night on Friday. On Saturday, I began running a fever. After talking to the on-call doctor, we decided to try and rest as much as possible. He gave us signs to watch for that indicated the need for immediate medical attention. The signs never presented themselves and my fever broke in the middle of the night. Thank you, Lord.

We are planning to go to our ob/gyn tomorrow and hopefully get a sonogram. Please pray for our hearts as we go tomorrow. The Lord willing, we will be able to get some answers to the contractions and fever, and check for dilation.

As you may suspect, this week/weekend has brought on much emotion. This part of our storm is very rough. I know this post simply provides the facts and leaves out many details of how we are dealing with all of the unknown. That day of sharing will come.
Today we are concentrating on our God. He is enough. He is good. And though at times we feel much hurt, the Lord never forsakes. He is always faithful. His grace is always sufficient. And by His grace, we trust in Him.
