So, I went to Kennestone - they rushed me to the Labor and Delivery and had the machines on me within 3 minutes. They watched the machines for about 5 minutes. Then, they turned to me and told me that I was having contractions. They did a test to check my area. They said that it was opening down there. I was in pre-term labor!! Ahh!!
They managed to stop it after a total of 5 1/2 -6 hours and ordered me to bedrest. But, they said I could go to my first baby shower in TN as long I stayed in bed or sat down a lot.
Here are some pictures from the Baby Shower.

My sister threw the baby shower for me
My goddaughter and me.... I was present for her birth and shes almost 1 year old!!!!
Then I returned home to be in the bed most of the time until my appointment with my ob-gyn on Tuesday. He is not my regular ob-gyn (my regular one was rushed to do surgery). He ordered me 1 week of bedrest to see if it would reduce the pain.
I also had a final appointment with a high risk doctor the next day. He had 30+ years of experiences so I would trust him more. Daniel and I got a surprise... they did 4-D ultrasound pictures of Whitney Elizabeth!!! I cried after the first shot of her and I couldn't watch the rest of the "tv show". The last "view" of her on the tv- was her covering her face like she was saying, "Please... no more pictures!". Already a diva like her Aunt Leslie. LOL
At the end of this blog, I will post the 4-D ultrasound pictures for you guys to see. :)
The high risk doctor asked me what happened and I explained. He did some tests and determined that when I lifted the tray, I tore my scar tissues on lower belly (I had surgery for Endometersis shortly after I got married) and with the baby growing.. it stretched the scar tissues until it tore and MIGHT have caused a hernia. He said that there is NO way of knowing for sure until after the baby is born. Because we are not allowed to have x-ray or MRI - ultrasounds does not pick up anything like that. If it is confirmed that I did tear it, I will have surgery after the baby is born, to repair it. My case is now closed at the high risk doctor! The baby is healthy and perfect! GOD IS SO GOOD! :) Thank you for your prayers!
I had a follow-up today with a different doctor. He ordered me NOT to return to work until after the baby is born. He said that there is a high risk that I can make the tear worse if I keep lifting at work (he said that the baby still has 2 months to grow and will triple in size) so no more work until next year!! Meanwhile, pray for me and my sanity!! :)
We want to thank you all for your prayers and support- We love you guys!!
Looks like she got my nose and chin and Daniel's lips! :)
