Well, this is just a glimpse of what last week looked like for Trey and I......
I went back to the doctor's last week for a follow-up and, it wasn't exactly the kind of follow-up I was hoping for. Apparently, I did not "pass" everything and so I was given more medicine...
Come to find out, the reason why I did not pass everything was because I was taking pain medicine that was counteracting the contractions. Wonderful, I know. That explains the difference in the first night versus all the rest. The first night I took the medication I literally felt like I was dilated 10 cm, pushing out a healthy baby boy/girl, NATURALLY. The pain was no joke. Seriously, when the time does come again, lets just say I won't be nominated for a Grammy or an Oscar. I no longer have a desire to deliver naturally.
So, I started the 2nd round of medicine last Thursday and finished Saturday morning. I was suppose to go back to the doctor's tom., but plans have changed. Due to another staff meeting at school, I have to reschedule.....I'm trying not to complain because I only work 180 days out of the year, but the timing of this stinks.
Let me mention that this medicine was nothing like the first go around. The cramping was nothing more than a menstrual cramp, Thank you Jesus. I just pray it was strong enough and that it served its purpose because I do NOT want to have a DNC.
Please, continue to pray that my body is restored and that a DNC does not lie within the near future. Not an option since day 1, and I APPRECIATE my husband so much for not imposing that on me.
Stay tuned for a special blog dedicated to my husband!
Friday afternoon Trey and I headed to Fort Mill, SC, where we celebrated our marriage with my family. I must say, it was the best thing I could have done at that time. We needed to get away, even though I hadn't completely healed physically, it was some kind of fun! Trey and I are extremely blessed to have such large families who love us so very much. It showed by all the support and love that went into our reception Saturday night!
We came back yesterday and are trying to get through this week. Hopefully, it will fly by like last week.
Trey and I have so much to look forward to and we are excited about all the traveling we will be doing over the summer! Don't worry I will fill you in on upcoming blogs!
That's it for now.....
In Him,
