Operation "Stay Put Smurfs"!!!!! (a.k.a my day in L&D)
As some of you know I had a cerclage due to my shortening cervix a few weeks ago.
Yesterday was supposed to be a routine appointment to check the stitches and cervical length.
Unfortunately it's now measuring 1.1 as compared to 2.6 at my last appt. They'd like it over 3 but would be happy with 2.5ish since that is what it measured when they did the cerclage.
They put me on the monitor for contractions and there were some small blips that I wasn't feeling ... So I spent the rest of the day in Labor & Delivery Triage at the hospital for monitoring with the possibility of hospital bed rest.
Hearing those words left me scared out of my mind!!!!!!
Thought maybe I was dehydrated ... a whole IV bag of fluids later and nothing changed.
Turns out that I had developed a UTI that was causing the pre-term contractions  which they are treating with antibiotics.
Finally they gave me a shot of something that made my heart race, but somehow also got the contractions to stop.
I didn't get home until about 5pm but I've never been so happy to see my own bed!
So now at 23 weeks pregnant with twins, it's modified bed rest for me ... with the potential for strict bed rest looming.
No more working, no more errands, no more ANYTHING! Just me with my feet up hanging out in bed or on the couch.
My outings are now for Dr's appointments only!!!!!
I made a deal with the  while waiting for DH to get the car. I will follow the Drs orders to the letter, and the next time we go to the hospital will be because they are fully cooked and ready for life on the outside. 23 weeks is waaaaaay too soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This sounds like an excellent deal and I am sure they will comply. 
In the meantime, let DH spoil you before those little guys get here!

That is so scary! I can't imagine having to deal with all that when thinking everything is fine. You stay well rested, keep those babies nice and snug. NOTHING is as important as that! You're doing great Jess!

Re: Operation "Stay Put Smurfs"!!!!! (a.k.a my day in L&D)
a good friend started having preterm labor at about 20 weeks with her  and she was in and out of the hospital for the next 8 weeks and on exclusive bedrest when home during that time
at 28 weeks, she was home and on bedrest (showering 2x per week, only up for the bathroom, thats IT) and she went to 37 weeks  2 perfect, healthy baby girls who came home with their mom!
you CAN do it! stay positive and trust your doctors!!!

You've so got this. Just get 10 weeks more out of that cervix. I know the time seems BRUTAL now, but its just going to be a blip on the radar. Imagine the lifelong happiness those are going to bring you as motivation! Just sit tight and hang on!!!

I thought it was a good deal!
DH has been absolutely wonderful throughout everything. I don't know what I'd do without him. I am totally and completely spoiled, and so grateful.

Yes, its terrifying to be contracting and HAVE NO CLUE!!!!!!!!!
At first I thought it was some kind of a cruel joke.

Well at least you still sound upbeat and positive...."lemonade" is always good : )
No work sounds great! Laying around for the summer isnt all that bad.
Hope you feel better and those twins stay put!
