8/20 11:30 Update

The doctor informed us that my contractions are coming every 5 minutes and lasting 45-75 seconds a piece. Until the contractions are less than 2 an hour, I will be staying in the hospital. He is running blood and urine work to make sure there is no under lying cause for the contractions. He is keeping me on the procardia every 6 hours. He said I may be on this medicine for a total for 2 weeks. At that point I would be 36 weeks and he would keep me on bedrest but no medicine. Tomorrow morning he is going to run a fetal fibronectin test. This test will tell him rather or not I am currently preterm labor. This was negative on Tuesday, but can change anytime.
