BABY "D"

Another week gone by - and another weekend upon us. The weeks just seem to fly on by! Doing pretty well today; a bit of a rough start but we're all good now. I had a feeling I was brewing another urinary tract infection for the last couple of days but of course, before they can treat it, they have to have it cultured. The culture came back positive so I started more antibiotics today. It was a bit of a rough night since the infection and bladder spasms got worse, causing some contractions. But by this morning, I had no "output" and a large (and I mean large) bump protruding from my lower abdomen, which was quickly termed "Baby D" by my OB. That bump was my bladder. Ha, ha right? Easy for him to laugh! They ended up cathetarizing me again which gave some immediate relief and now all is good again. I think I might be the only person I know that actually doesn't mind a cathetar too much ~ I equate it with such relief that it really doesn't seem to bother me, aside from the fact that I can't get up out of bed too much when I have it. I'll keep it until I'm sure the meds are taking effect - I don't want any more episodes like this morning! Anyway, enough of those gory details. Hopefully within 24 hours the medicine will start to kick in and kill the infection FOR GOOD!

After that fiasco, we looked at the babies and they are doing well again today. My cervix was checked again for the first time in about 5 days and it remains unchanged. All good news!

Not much on the agenda this weekend. Just hoping for a fast weekend as they seem to drag a bit. Can't believe it's almost the last summer weekend - school starts next week and then Labor Day is here. It's almost September already; July and August seem to be a bit of a blur. Wonder why?
