Thank you all for the prayers, and good will. My wife and I were up a lot of last night, the medication they have her on is to slow down the contractions she's having, which for a short while were only 7 mins apart, but the medication has them only coming once or so an hour. Unfortunately the medication makes her (and baby's) heart rate increase, she describes it like drinking a pot of coffee) and that has us a little concerned for baby's health. Doctors assure its okay, but you know my wife works with Autistic kids, and over medication at this point worries both of us. We'll see how she does for the next week, and if the contractions subside, I think we'll be okay. If not, she'll be on bed rest for the rest of her term, which is April 21st. Sucks because it will eat into my wife's time off once Sophia (our baby) is born. Doctors say Chelsea can go on disability for a short while, which will help us out. My wife is the bread winner, so we'll need it.
Thanks everyone for listening, and I'll keep you all posted.
