29 weeks, 3 days, morning update:
B writing here.
Everyone slept really well last night with the time change, except the overnight nurse, whose 12-hour shift became 13 hours, then became indefinite because she got called into a labor delivery right as she was getting out. Big thanks to all our hard-working nurse and doctor friends out there.
The monitor showed that K had a few contractions overnight, but not enough to alert the Doctor. K has still yet to feel any of them herself.
Then in the past hour she had 6. That is more than the Dr is comfortable with, but they're blaming it on being the end of that medicine dose. The contraction-slowing pill is called Procardia, which is also a blood pressure med I guess. She just got the next dose right and went 15min without a contraction, and that's where we're at now. They've decided to give her "bathroom privileges." So we'll see how she does walking around a little bit. There was talk of possibly sending her home today, but it will depend on how she does this afternoon.
K is excited to get out of bed for the first time since Friday afternoon, but I think she'd take issue with telling a pregnant woman it's a "privilege" to make all those bathroom trips on her own again. :)
Thanks for all the well-wishes everyone. Makes family and friends seem close, even if physically far away.
