Well bedrest has begun and hasn't been too rough yet.  We left the hospital around 3:15 on Saturday afternoon.  Before we left, I was having contractions 2-3 minutes apart.  They didn't hurt, but it freaked everyone out.  Mitch and Katrina had just got to the hospital and saw the monitor.  A couple minutes later I had the nurse and doctor in to check on me, but since they weren't painful they weren't overly concerned.  I did think that this would hurt my chances for being dismissed. The contractions slowed down thank goodness.  I had several exams before I left the hospital.  There were no changes from when I was admitted.  Which was good.  I did have a fFn (fetal fibronectin) test done.  This test determines if a protein exists that helps determine if delivery is close.  My test came back positive.  Had the test been negative, that would mean I have a 95% chance that delivery will not occur within 2 weeks.  Since my test came back positive, it doesn't necessarily mean I have a 95% chance that delivery will occur within 2 weeks.  It means more that there is a higher likelihood that it can occur.  I go to my regular OB doctor tomorrow (10/4) and then back to my maternal fetal medicine specialist on (10/5). 
We have been so blessed to have our friends volunteer to bring meals and help out with whatever we need.  Thank you's go out to all who have been praying.  Keep sending them up!
