Beckton at 25 weeks (No little guy you can't come this early)

Beckton - 25 weeks/1lb. 14 oz./140 Heart-rate

Beckton update. On 1/26 I was sent to labor and delivery due to cramping and discomfort. When I called the doctor, he asked me to head to Kettering Hospital ASAP to make sure everything was ok. When Scott and I arrived they put us into an actual labor/delivery room. That part was a little scary as I had never seen the inside of one before. Then the nurse hooked me up to monitors, asked me tons of questions, did some tests and said she would have the results to discuss with me after the doctors discussed. She said I needed to start drinking a lot of water and Scott got me a huge cup. The cool part was that I could hear Beckton's heartbeat the whole time and the nurse said he looked and sounded great! Then the nurse returned with some not so great news ... I was 1cm dilated, the machines had monitored a few contractions, they to do an ultrasound, and a test to determine whether or not I would deliver in the next 10-14 days. Scott and I both got pretty nervous at this point. When the test was over the ultrasound techs came in put our little man up on the screen. They said his heart rate, size and measurements were right on for 25 weeks. They printed a few pictures for us and were on their way. About two hours later a different nurse came in with an antibiodic letting me know I had a UTI infection on top of everything else! Finally the doctor came in at the end of the day to discuss everything with me. The test to determine whether I would deliver in 10-14 days was negative, I was instructed to drink 8-15 glasses of water daily to combat the pre-term labor, to continue taking my meds for my UTI, to take an iron supplement because I am anemic and to be on bed rest for most of the week. Lesson learned: if you don't drink enough water you could go into pre-term labor and have a whole slew of other problems. Then, they discussed something they noticed on the ultrasound and how I would have to be sent to a special radiologist to get a closer look. So, completely freaked out we were discharged from the hospital. The good news is I'm resting and we're trying not to be nervous.

Thanks to everyone for the get well thoughts and wishes.
