34 weeks pregnant

It's been an eventful week for us!  Last week during my regular doctor appointment they found that I was contracting regularly every 2 minutes.  Since this was something that happened during my pregnancy with Evelyn they released me after a few additional tests looked to be clear. Right when I got home, we got a call from the doctor who said one of the tests showed that I'm at risk for delivering in the next two weeks and I needed to come to Labor and Delivery.

Once there, I was admitted and we spent the next 26 hours there.  I was given drugs to help stop contractions, given lots of tests, sent to my high risk specialist and given the 2 steroid shots.

I now have to have 2-3 doctor appointments per week.  The doctor is most nervous (and so are we) by my inability to feel contractions and history of spontaneous births.  The good news is, we're far enough along that the baby should be in a good place development-wise should she arrive soon.

So now, we're aggressively trying to get things prepared, including the kids, for baby to arrive!
