  So I thought that I would add a quick entry about what has been going on with the new baby. On Fourth of July I started having some contractions that quickly turned to intense, constant contractions. Jeremy and I decided to head to the hospital and see what we needed to do. I was in a lot of pain and things just didn't feel right. They admitted me and after giving me some IV fluids thinking it might be dehydration causing the contractions, they continued and were getting more intense. They started me on some Magnesium to try and calm the muscles and stop the contractions. They also gave me some drugs to help strengthen the baby in case we couldn't get the contractions to stop. I told her that it wasn't time yet and she had to wait... (she is testing me already!) After staying on the drugs all night the doctor came in the next morning and said we would take me off them and see if the contractions started back up without it. I had a few but nothing as intense OR consistent like before.
  I was discharged with orders to rest as much as possible and not travel for atleast a week. SO I am still in Hernando trying to rest and let family take care of Maddy, Micah and me. Hopefully after this week of rest I will be able to return to life as usual with no more threats of a premature baby!
  I have to say that I was pretty scared by the whole thing and am glad that so far things seem to have calmed back down.
  Keep us in your thoughts and prayers that these last two months will go smoothly and our new baby girl will stay where she is supposed to be until she is ready to be born all healthy and beautiful!!
