Before I even go on what all took place at my doctors office, let me back up to last night.
Last night I stayed up beyond past my bedtime, 1am. I went to the bathroom, like I normally do before bed and noticed I lost my mucus plug. Yes I know, tmi, but get over it, one of the joys of pregnancy. All night long I was having some pretty strong cramps. Nothing painful. Nothing I would consider contractions. So first thing this morning, I called my doctors office to ask if I should have any cause for concern. Since I am 29wks 4days, they deemed it necessary to see me in the office as soon as possible. So they got me set for 3pm. Granted it couldn't wait for Friday's appt with my ob. So I frantically call Hayden's pediatrician and see if they can squeeze him in today, thank god they could, I didn't want to drive back into town by myself with a rowdy three year old.
Hayden and I set off for Georgetown and made it to his appointment. He is healthy as a horse, 38" tall, 35lbs. Unfortunately he is showing early signs of ADHD. Of course its too early to give him a "diagnosis" but its not the end of the world and Hayden's doctor gave me amnesty suggestions as to what can help. :)
Now onto the stressful appointment...
My doctor got me in as soon as I walked in the door. With that said, they immediately put me on the monitors to watch for contractions and monitor K's heartrate. Heartrate averaged 142bpm and I was indeed having some pretty impressive contractions although I wasn't in any physical pain. They had me down some h2o and had to use medical intervention to stop them. Once they were stopped, they checked me and I'm still sitting at 1cm. *sigh* Basically my doctor scolded me and told me to take it easy... Translation, bedrest!
With that said, Jon and I had to make the difficult decision to cancel Hayden's birthday party Saturday. As much as it breaks my heart and kills me not to celebrate formally with friends and family, I know it's best I take it easy and not have to worry about the stresses of having a house full. :( Doesn't mean I'm not making him cupcakes, damnit!!!!
My apologies to everyone who had made plans to come, obviously this wasn't planned and I'm super bummed about it. I'm trying not to get emotional and cry about it because I know Keiran can feel it, but it still doesn't take away the suckage factor.
Hugs and love from our family to yours.

Prayers that everything stays calm! Sorry to hear about Hayden's birthday party. Maybe, his Daddy can take him to the park and Mommy can relax some more!
LOL one would hope. I won't hold my breath.
Please take it as easy as you possibly can with having a 3 year old. I honestly feel like all the stress I had from work sent me into early labor with Ryder, so please rest!
