Contractions and more contractions

Just a quick update for everyone, Carrie started having contractions this morning at about 11:30 and after a quick doctors visit where we found out she was dialated to about 1 and it really was contractions she was having we ended up in the hospital this afternoon. The doctor is giving her medicine to stop the contractions as well as steroids to help the development of the baby's lungs. While the baby would be ok if he was born now the doctor really wants to wait as long as he can. It's now 11 PM and the first shot to stop the contractions lasted about 3 hours and ever since then the shots have been working for about an hour and a half. The next step is magnesum hopefully we won't have to go that route. Well, that all for now I'm going to try to get some sleep in that very uncomfortable looking chair in the corner. I'll post more tomorrow but for now keep us in your prayers.
