An Update

Just a quick update as I've gotten lots of emails/texts/tweets checking in on us.  For those of you who didn't know, I was in an accident yesterday-rear-ended by a driver going quite fast on my way home from work while I was stopped in traffic.

We are doing ok.  I was immediately sent to labor and delivery and was having a lot of contractions.  They tried a few bags of fluids but it wasn't slowing them down enough so they gave me a shot to get my uterus to relax.  One of those fun medicines that makes your heart race out of control and gives you uncontrollable body shakes.  Good news is, it eventually worked and all my other lab/test results came back with nothing further discouraging so after several hours of monitoring, we were sent home. 

We got back home super early this morning and I have been resting (and peeing constantly) since.  Contractions have started back up on and off today but we are hoping with time they will settle back down as my body recovers.  I am extremely sore and achy but I suppose that comes with the territory.  Just as long as the baby is ok!

On a rather humorous side note, when we got home last night, I made the mistake of passing in front of the mirror and was horrified how puffy I was!  I decided to weigh myself and the fluids they pumped me full of made me gain nearly 6 pounds!  I am hoping this will clear up and that I will be feeling up to our maternity shoot on Saturday. 

Thank you everyone for your prayers, they mean so much to both Brent and I and little RP, we are really hoping she gets the memo that she still needs to stay in there and plump up a bit more!
