28 weeks!! 7 months!!! 3rd trimester!!!!

Im unbelievably happy to hit this milestone. It took a rough patch to get here!! Im getting ready to leave the hospital. We've been here for about 36 hours now for contractions. They are being super stubborn, shocking right! Yesterday they gave me one shot 4 times that was suppose to stop them with no response. They then moved to a different one, same thing. Third shot plus two pills and 24 hours later they calmed down. Not stopped but controlled . Now I have to continue these pills every 3 hours. They finally gave me steriod shots for the babies lungs just in case in turns/ turned into labor.
I have an appointment Tuesday and im praying they don't put me on full bed rest, light rest has been hard enough especially with Jasons schedule. 
It was a rough experience and I was a serious pin cushion. On top of all the shots it took a total of six tries to get my iv in. They had to get an anesthesiologist to do it and the only place that would work was in the inside of my elbow, where they normally take blood.
Im on such a timed schedule now with blood tests 4 times a day, pills every 3 hours,  an eating schedule and for someone who didn't plan on even taking Tylenol pregnant,  now im on like 20 drugs.
With that said im so thankful to hit 28 weeks when a baby can survive out of the womb,  healthfully.
Every week the better, hopefully we can get an other month of not longer.
