Sorry We Never Update This

The babies have been doing well since we've last updated. They are now up to a little over 2 pounds a piece and we're at 27 weeks. They are right on track with where they should be and are very active.



We've had a few showers, which were all wonderful. Everyone has been so generous and thoughful with our growing bunch and we really appreciate it.



So in the lastest news, we went to the doctor for a regular old check-up on Wendesday. The sonogram for the babies was fine, but my cervix had shortened a good deal over the past two weeks. The doctor decided to put me on long term bed rest and she felt the best place for that would be Baylor hospital in Dallas. We checked in Friday evening, and after a day of waiting for a more permanent room in Labor and Delivery, I'm now upstairs in the antepartum area.



They gave me two rounds of shots for lung development for the babies, just in case the bed rest doesn't go as they planned. I'm also on a blood pressure medication, which can help with contractions, and hopefully won't lower my blood pressure too much (so far so good on that one). I had gotten pretty aenemic over the past few months, and my blood counts are off. They think they can get that under control while I'm here, before the babies come, so that will be great. But I really do feel fine, and the babies are right on track, so everything is pretty good.

Hospital life is a bit boring, but everyone is really nice. The nurses check in on me a lot, and they have great snacks and food. The check the babies every few hours, so I get to hear their little hearts going all day long. So far things are plugging along well, and we only have 46 more days until they might let me go home (unless the babies come earlier). It's crazy to think I will hopefully be here for over a month, but it will be worth it if it keeps the babies from having to stay here for that long on their own.

I'll do my best to keep everyone updated on any changes, but everything is doing fine for now. We really appreciate all the well wishes, visits, and phone calls, it makes the days go faster.
