33 weeks and bed rest!

today was my 33 week checkup along with a nonstress test. while i was being monitered i had contractions coming about 5 minutes apart. the doctor checked my cervix and also did another culture for the preterm labor test. good news-my cervix was still closed, so no dilation has occured. bad news-preterm labor test came back positive again. what this all means is that i've been put on bed rest at least until my next dr. apt next wednesday. if the contractions get worse or more frequent or my water breaks than i am to call the doctor right away. but for right now since i wasnt dialated, but yet having contractions, as a precaution they want me to bed rest..its still too early for Caitlin to come out!! so if you dont mind saying a prayer or two for us i'd appreciate it: one obviously that i dont go into labor, and two that i dont go stir crazy in this next week!! i've had soo much energy lately...sitting still is gonna be tough! but its all worth it for the end goal of a healthy baby!!
