Early Maternity Leave

For those of you that don't remember I went on disability early at 34 weeks pregnant with Ashlyn because I started contracting at work. Well I wasn't quite 34 weeks this time. This time I was only 33 weeks and I wasn't even at work I was just hanging out at home and started contracting. On Sunday I started contracting every 7 minutes. I waited a while to see if they would go away but they didn't. So Jason and I finally went to the hospital (my work) and got checked out. They game me some medication to stop the contractions and checked my cervix (which is still closed). Well the contractions never completely went away. I am still having them everyday. So my doctor has put me on modified bedrest, which means I need to stay off my feet as much as possible until 36 weeks, which will be in 2 weeks, and I have medication to take when I have more than 4 contractions in an hour. So I'm done with work until after my maternity leave and will be watching lot of movies with Ashlyn.
