Genders?: BOYS

Notes: Spent today at the hospital because of severe cramping and they were concerned I was in preterm labor. They're keeping me over night. They think I have a bladder infection that traveled up to my kidneys. They did two cervical exams and a transvaginal ultrasound and thank GOD my cervix is closed! They also gave me a catheter OUCH! And an IV also...OUCH! I’m not looking forward to staying. I was in so much pain today but thankfully it calmed down. It was a scary day.
