The beginning of this month did not start out to great for our family. Ricky started it all by having a tiny cold and not feeling well, however, his was gone in 24-48 hours. We are not sure if it was coincidence or not, but somehow Savannah and I became sick shortly after. Savannah ran high fevers for a little over a week and ended up at the Dr's office twice for antibiotics. She has now returned to her normal hyper into everything self. We did get to enjoy some couch and movie time for a short time. Robin, as most of you know has now been in the hospital twice for contractions. I am only 27 weeks, so it is way too early to be contracting. The first time, I was very dehydrated. Must have been drinking too much caffeinated drinks and not enough water. I learned my lesson and now am only drinking water. A week later, I was at work and having more contractions. I again was dehydrated, but it was not my fault this time. I was coming down with a cold and having lots of drainage. The Dr put my on some medication to stop contractions and now I can take it whenever I am having problems. For now contractions are just occassional and I am taking it easy and relaxing. I have cut back at work to 2 days a week until I deliver the baby. I have to do whatever it takes to keep this baby in the oven for as long as possible. I hope we are all better and can stay healthy for the holidays that are approaching rather quickly.
