dejavu all over again...sort of....

These past couple of days have been interesting, frustrating, and once again without any answers. It was a flash back to week 27 with Brayden when almost the same exact thing happened and I got put in the hospital. It was rough past weekend for the baby and I and on Monday, we had to go into the hospital. The hospital is in downtown Atlanta and actually pretty nice. I spent 3 days there and of course they could not give me any answers to what is going on. They couldn't figure out why I kept bleeding and they just gave me lots of medicine to stop the contractions that kept coming and lots of IV's to make me puff up and swell. Luckily, the baby was also given the lung steroids to help it's lungs develop faster if it is born early. Brayden was given these steroids and they helped a ton when he was born early. Brayden spent lots of time with Grandma and dad. It was a huge blessing to be staying with my parents so that they could help with Brayden. Thank you so much mom and dad! For now...they have me "taking it easy" but I have a feeling it is going to turn into bed rest soon....harder to do than it sounds for me. For now though...the baby is doing good and getting bigger and we are almost 27 weeks along. only 13 to go...
