so it started out like every other friday. finishing up the weeks work, depositing checks and getting ready for soccer games on saturday. bethany was coming in and we were all going to grab supper and then come home and take it easy. well of course with children...things change. around 3 p.m. i was working at my desk and notice some tightening. i passed it off...thinking she was just moving and was in weird positions that was causing discomfort. i then go to my couch and layout hoping that it will pass. while relaxing on the couch the boys needed to show me things and tell me 100 things. well apparently she did not like them getting all the attention and things started to pick up. not only was the tightening getting worse but then the cramping started. i kept trying to tell myself that it was nothing but i knew something did not feel right. mom told me i needed to go ahead and call the doctor and probably get a shower because she was sure that i would have to be monitored. so...i called the doctor and of course they told me to get to labor and delivery to get checked out. i get in, get the monitors on and just hang out. my hubby, my mom and my sister all joined me at the hospital to keep me company and hopefully keep my mind off of everything. my wonderful mother-in-law ran over to keep the boys. (thank God for wonderful family and friends) the nurse informs me that dr. daniels is delivering babies and will be in there to check on me soon. yeah! arabelle likes dr. daniels....thursday we went for the 29 week check up. everything was normal. looking great. (this is exactly what he said at our 25 week checkup. and then the day after we started spotting, which led to the first hospital visit) he said keep up the good work mrs. ishee and we will see you in 3 weeks. she heard it and she knew 3 weeks was just too long for someone to give her the attention she wanted. so nurse comes back in to let me know she is about to give me a shot breathene and a pill to stop the contractions. a few minutes after that excitement, dr. daniels comes in with his auburn shirt on and his blue scrubs to match. bethany had on her lovely alabama sweatshirt so after a few minutes of messing with her, he tells me that i have another UTI and that he was going to send me home with some antibiotics. also, since i have several of these during this pregnancy he is going to put me on a suppression pill to try and keep this from happening so much. he said there could also be a possibility that they put me on the breathene pills throughout the rest of the pregnancy. so after a few minutes of him sitting there telling us about his children and some of their decisions in life, he sends me on my merry way. before he goes he said make sure i cool my jets for about 72 hours. i get home around 9:30 and my sweet boys have about 700 things they need to tell and show me. how sweet. you would have thought i had been away for a month. after a few minutes garrett comes over and lays beside me and said "how is arabelle?" i told him that the doctor said she was just fine. he said "did she jump every time they tried to touch her." he is such a sweet heart. he then laid there on my stomach with both hands pressed against it..waiting for his sister to jump for him. (like she was a circus act or something) these children are truly a blessing. they are my heart and soul and i thank God everyday for each and everyone of them.
