about to bust out for the big day

Well, howdy! This is Jess posting on Terbutaline. It's kinda like
mainlining caffeine.
My hands, they shake
My head, I can't finish sentences
etc

BUT TODAY IS MY BABY SHOWER AND I AM SO EXCITED!

condition update: I had few or no contractions overnight... I am now on
a terbutaline pump that attaches to my leg and dispenses medicine
continuously. As far as we know my cervix is unchanged and I am pretty
stable.
If some of your worst fears are that I will go into labor at the
shower, well, it's possible. But it's a risk we and our doctor feel
fine about taking.
I passed one test (fetal fibronectin) that says I should not go into
real labor for at least 2 weeks... we'll see how accurate that is but
today I feel confident that Jesus wants me to go to my party!

We're in the process of figuring out how to get out of here... Dr Reed
wrote a pass but the hospital supervisor doesn't do passes anymore so
we may have to get discharged and then come back tonight and be
readmitted.
Or maybe we'll just break out of here in my hospital gown, fanny to the
wind and to HECK with the consequences.... just kidding. It's all just
legal mumbo jumbo at this point. See you there!

Katwoman,

Will you be at the baby shower?

You just gave another hint as to who you are. The trap is narrowing.

I actually have three mice to catch so I guess I had better get started. See you at the shower, I hope. By the way, do you know who I am?

I'd love to stay here in the quiet and converse, but I really do need to go. Talk to you later.

Good Morning!

Just stopping in to say howdy and that Shannon and I are very happy for you, that you will be able to be at your BIG shower! Have as good of a time as you can on drugs. . . maybe you’ll have even a better time since you’re on drugs = ). Naaa, I know how those hospital drugs are, da make yo mind like slop. Anywho, have an awesome time!! Hope you get everything you’ll ever need! Time to go exercise my brain on my exam.

Peace to the Peoples!

Richy and Jessica,

Just praying for you guys this morning. A couple verse for you:

Great peace have those your love Your law. . .- Psalms 119:165

You have put gladness in my heart, . . . I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell is safety. –Psalms 4:7-8

May you both be filled with peace and may gladness over take your heart, as the Lord watches over you in safety today!
