During the last few days we have come to realize just how close it is to the arrival of Baby Miles. Last Wednesday, we took a trip to the hospital because I was having contractions. I wasn't sure that what I was feeling were contractions but with the help of my mom and a call to the on-call doctor, they determined that I probably was. After being hooked up to the monitors, sure enough, I was. In fact at one point they were 2 minutes apart. I had timed them at 5 minutes. So I was also hooked up to an IV in hopes that that would slow or eliminate the contractions. We were told that we might have had to stay overnight, thankfully we didn't. We were able to come home that night we the instructions to call my doctor's office the next day and to be on bedrest until then. Cody and I went to the doctor on Thursday and were told that I didn't have to be on complete bedrest but on restricted bedrest. I can go to work next week as long as the contractions don't come back regularly. But after this next week, she told me that if they do come back that they probably wouldn't do a whole lot to stop them as it would be ok for the baby to come.
So, the whole exprience has been a wake up call. We now have our bag packed and more things in the house prepared. I know that it will all happen in God's timing but I think Baby Miles should at least wait another 2 weeks.
