UPDATE

I just wanted to give an update.  Yesterday was a HORRIBLE day and my pain levels were UNBEARABLE.  The best way to describe the pain was that someone had an icepick chiseling away at my tailbone, someone else had a chainsaw on my back, and there was excruciating pain shooting down my legs. After lots of phone calls to various doctors, prayers, and the fact that there was no way I could get to our car, we decided it was best to stay in my one position in bed.  Luckily God had his hand on me and I'm feeling a little better today.  My friend, Jill, also provided me with some much needed medical equipment!  
 
However, my contractions have increased quite a bit in frequency today. We think it's more because I didn't drink yesterday because I couldn't get out of bed for the bathroom.  But needless to say, we are praying constantly that this baby girl doesn't come early!  I'm 25 weeks tomorrow.  IF I can get out of bed, I have an OB doctor appointment on Friday.

Thanks over and over again for the prayers!

Hi my dear friend. I just read your blog. Thoughts and prayers from us! Pls. let me know if I can do anything for you. Take care of yourself as best as you can and keep that little girl cooking. Two 27 weekers will be celebrating 4 years on Friday. Miracles happen everyday. Love you! Julie

Chris - you are in our constant prayers. Keep that little girl cooking! You will get through this - I started contractions at 18 weeks with Anthony and he stayed in until 36 weeks - of course that was ALOT of bedrest, but I made it through. Whatever we can do, please let us know. We might go to the CDM on Friday morning if you would like me to take Blake too.
