Unexpected hospital stay

Wednesday, morning I woke and told heath that I had not been feeling really well and that I thought I was getting sick. Heath left for work and I started to get breakfast ready for the kids. Then I started to feel these really weird pains so I called the doctors office and they said that it would be best for me to be seen in the OB department at the hospital. I then called Heath and made arrangements for the kids. Heath and I left for the hospital and 45 min later we were there. I got registered and settled into a room just thinking I would have some monitoring done and then be on my merry way. I was monitored for a while and then my doctor came to check on me and see how things were going. I was then given an exam and then was told that I was dilating and changing my cervix and my Doctor thought that it would be in mine and the twins best interest for us to be transferred out to Marshfield. BIG SURPRISE to me and Heath I am pretty sure that I am still in shock and I probably will be until this is all over.  I was transported by ambulance down to Marshfield and was given Magnesium Sulfate to stop my contractions and Beta for the babies lungs.. A two hour ambulance ride later and we arrived at the hospital not knowing everything that was going on or what was about to go on. I got here and Heath was given a tour of the NICU and met some of the nurses and got a tour. I was then given more Mag in hopes to stop the contractions.  More to come after I rest a while!
