Here is my little update...I went back to the Hospital Wed. morning, because I had been contracting the night before. I thought it would be short, just to stop contractions and go home. I ended up having to stay until this evening. You don't really think about things like this happening until they happen. At first the doctors told me I was going to stay until I gave birth...and they want me to last until 36-37 weeks. That is 4 weeks in the hospital. As we all know having 3 kids at home and having to be in the hospital is not what you want to hear at all. Everything turned out good for me so far, the contractions stopped, and they decided I could be on bed rest at home.
I just want to take a moment to thank all of you who were so willing to help me and my little family out. At times like this, Vita and I get sad that we don't have family close by. My testimony of Relief Society Sisterhood has been strengthened and I can't begin to express how thankful I am. I had a sister drop off a care package at the hospital ( Magazines, goodies, toothbrush ect.) a sister bring in groceries, as sister fold my laundry, and many sisters babysit and taxi around my babies. I appreciate the phone calls, and prayers and have to admit I feel very loved. Thank you danielle for offering to come out here..I love you lots!
Once again Thank you everyone, and this time I hope I really am not back in the hospital for5 weeks :)

Nice to hear your back home Jenna! Take it easy and let me know when you're ready to get into the 'twilight' series. Glad to know things are going better for you and Calvin!
I'm glad you are home, it is too early to have the baby. I remember when I had to be on bed rest with my early babies, my body started into labor when the babies were close to five pounds. In the olden days, they gave me medicine and said to go to bed and do not do anything--what a joke that was with three, four and then five kids!!! I am glad that you have a great ward and that you are willing to say-I need help! Everyone wants to help and so please let them do it all, it is for such a short time and it really helps your little boy to not deliver early if possible. Read some fun/great books--Have someone check out from the library one called "The Penny" & two books that Sandy gave me by Lynn Austin, Hidden Places and A Woman's place. You will then enjoy your bedrest!
Oh sweet Jenna our thoughts and prayers are with you. When all is said and done, what an adventure this will be - Keep journaling write all the frustration and the sweet things that happen while you nurture your family from your bed! I wish we were close so I could help too. Love Aunt Kathy
Hey Jenna!! Hope you are feeling better....That Sucks!!! I couldn't even imagine it, I can't even lay down for a minute without my house being destroyed and the kids getting into EVERYTHING!! Soon it will be all over and in a few months you won't even remember this..(well maybe a little..lol).
