Happy Thanksgiving!


Because I can't go anywhere, my parents came to us and made Thanksgiving dinner at our house. It was a nice change of pace to spend the day laying on the couch instead of in the bedroom! Little things excite me these days!

29 weeks


Well, after some stress and a sleepless night I went back to the Dr. this morning. I was very nervous he was going to put me back in the hospital, but I got to come back home! Yipee! And I don't go back to the Dr. for 2 weeks. I am still on strict bedrest and the bedsores are forming (haha) but I have had lots of great visitors and people taking care of me! Thank you so much! The babies look great and are still growing ahead of schedule. They are big time movers and shakers in my belly....I suppose it's a sign of what's to come. I haven't been having too many contractions, and I'm feeling pretty good and large. Scotty is sorting through all the baby stuff and it's coming together! Very exciting! My sweet mom has taken on shaving duty because I can't be in the shower that long and it's too hard to bend down and reach my legs. That's what moms are for!

Quite the week....

Well, most of you probably heard, but we had quite the eventful week last week. We went in for a dr. appt and ended up being sent to the hospital b/c my cervix was too short. Within an hour of being in the hospital, I started having contractions and had dilated to a 2. They tried 2 medicines, both didnt work and put me on magnesium and steroid shots to make the boys lungs develop quicker in case they had to take them out. I had to stay in the hospital for a week, being monitored and seeing if they could wean me off of the mag. Sorry no pictures, but it wasn't pretty. It worked, so I came home yesterday will a basket fulll of meds to keep these boys calm in there! I am on strict bedrest, which means only getting up to use the bathroom and short showers. Good news is today we are on week 28 and the boys are growing a few weeks ahead of schedule. Baby A, the lowest, is 4 lbs, and B and C are 3 lbs each. Our goal is now to make it to 32 weeks. We have weekly appts to get checked, and Scotty is doing a great job taking care of me and everything around the house. Thanks to everyone for all the phone calls and kind thoughts, we feel really loved! I will keep you updated!
