The post I wish I didn't have to post

Okay, so this probably isn't the post you all are expecting or wanting to hear, (believe me, more than anyone I wish I wasn't writing this!) but the latest thing going on in our fam is that I have been put on bedrest. I share this with everyone not for sympathy (okay, maybe just a little ha ha) but so that we can have as many people praying for our little guy as possible!!! So 2 weeks ago we were in Walmart and all of a sudden I had water coming out of me. Now I knew that wasn't normal so I called the after hours nurse and she sent us to the E.R. They just told me I had a bladder infection and Bacterial Vaginosis (sorry for the graphic details!). Then Monday we had the ultrasound and the Doc told me that my Amniotic fluid was low, so he wanted to send me to a paranatalogist to get a better ultrasound, etc. So I couldn't get in there for another week and a half, but the Doc didn't seem too concerned so I wasn't too concerned. Well that whole week I had no leaking and the Dr. and I were just hoping I leaked that couple of times and that it was nothing. Then last Friday it started happening again. I called my Doc first thing Monday morning (the 20th) and they got me an appointment with the Paranatalogist that same day. Come to find out from her...............I had a Premature Rupture of Membranes (in Laman's terms I have a hole in my sac so Amniotic fluid constantly leaks out, or in really Laman's terms my water broke) which come to find out is not a good thing (go figure). The biggest problem is, with a hole in the sac there is no way really for them to keep out infection except give me tons of antibiotics and hope for the best. If I get an infection (pray i don't!) they have to deliver the baby right away because it can become Fatal to me. So as of right now, I hav no infection but I have to not get one for at least 3 more weeks in order for our baby to survive if he has to be delivered. Of course the longer I can go without getting an infection the better, but 24 weeks is the youngest a fetus can be delivered and have any chance of surviving. So currently (they just told me today that I am 21 weeks, so 3 weeks to go!). I was in the hospital but since there really isnt anything they can do to prevent infection or save the baby right now they let me go home for 3 weeks. At 24 weeks if I haven't gotten an infection I have to be readdmitted until I deliver (which hopefully is close or is full term even though it wont be fun for me!!). This morning they took a blood test and my white blood count is down, my temperature is low enough, and the baby is moving like crazy! So right now everything is okay!!! So all i would ask of you all is to pray for our sweet little baby boy! That I will continue to not get an infection and that he will keep fighting!!! So if I dont update for a while you will know that my thoughts are a little pre-occupied at the moment!!!!!
