Update on Baby Jaxon and Mommy

Okay so what wouldn't we go through to have our children...honestly? We would go through anything right? I am pretty sure of that now in my life. Your children mean the world to you and you couldn't imagine life without them...it is so true!! Well my little trip to Bear Lake wasn't such a good idea after all. The swine flu shots were a good idea and everyone is well from that so for that I am grateful. But I think it took a toll on my poor body. In fact it bought me a nice fancy trip to the hospital for a few days.

So far I have two tears in my placenta and a thinned out scar from my

c-sections, I am suppose to be "taking it easy" well that has been difficult for me to do (I can't imagine why). Anyway...well as I was driving home from Bear Lake my back started to hurt, I thought it was just from driving. I did fine on Sunday at church and then Monday it hit me. I was in so much pain by Monday night I couldn't even stand up straight, but it wasn't just in my back it was my belly as well. I was having contractions every few minutes and they were horrible. I tried to settle down, take a bath etc.. Nothing was working so I knew that if I waited my thin scar or torn placenta was going to rupture and I would be in more trouble. So I called the Dr. and went to Labor and Delivery, I was in labor. They tried for hours to get it under control and in the mean time tried to figure out what the pain was from that probably caused the labor. After many tests they found enlarged kidneys, especially the right side and lots of scar tissue. They were concerned about a uterine rupture and almost got me ready for a c-section immediately, they decided to hold off to see if they could stop the contractions first. They aren't sure what is going on with the kidneys and why they are enlarged. All I know right now is I begged to go home (a couple days in there without a baby is torture) and they sent me home with lots of orders!! I have to stay on the medication to stop contractions, I will be going in the Labor and Delivery during the week multiple times to have a stress test done on the baby, and I will be hoping and praying I can keep this baby in a couple more weeks at least so that he will be able to know how to suck when he comes out :) They did give me the two shots to develop the babies lungs so that is a good thing. I am pretty sure time is running out for housing this baby boy inside of me. I have worked so hard at keeping him in there so he would be strong and healthy but my body can only take so much. For now I hurt, I am tired, I missed my kids and I am grateful to be home. Your phone calls, help, concern, and meals have been appreciated, thank you so much!
