I'm so confused!

Well, I must say...pregnancy is a true test of patience and faith. As soon as you think you know what's going on, it all changes! It's worse than Texas weather! Well, yesterday I started contracting again despite the efforts of my medication, terbutaline. They started off at about 11 minutes apart (just like 2 weeks ago) and then shortened to about 8 minutes so we decided it would be safest to go get checked out. It took a while to get on the monitor as EVERYONE in San Antonio seemed to have been in labor yesterday! Once hooked up, the monitors confirmed that there were strong contractions about 8 minutes apart...but then...I had about a 20 minute break before they started up again. Strange...then came to find out that my cervix hadn't progressed at all since the last scare. My nurse called my doctor and was instructed to go ahead and give me one more shot of terbutaline to try and keep Finley in a little longer (who the whole time was active and kicking away...obviously irritated at the monitors). He (my doc) passed along the message that after today (35 weeks), if I have this happen again, they are not going to attempt to stop Finley. Well, here is the interesting part. It is now believed that I may have an irritable uterus. If you research this, it is not completely understood, but basically you contract as if you are in labor, but it only affects your uterus...not your cervix. This can mean that you eventually have to be induced! You can however, switch at any moment from "irritable uterus" to "preterm labor" if the contractions become strong enough. If your mind is spinning by this point, don't worry-mine is too! The one thing that I can say without doubt is this is in God's hands...not mine. But we can all anticipate that Finley's arrival will likely be one that is unpredictable..though what child's isn't?! I will discontinue terbutatline after Sunday so we will see what happens after that. If Finley doesn't come by next Thursday, I will see my doctor and find out more then. So hold on to your hats...we're in for an interesting ride. Much love and faith...and Happy Halloween!
