Here comes the bedrest...

So this has to be short and sweet, and probably sloppy considering I'm not supposed to be sitting upright, but we do not own a laptop, so I'm at the PC.

Here's how things went down on Thursday. Went to the doctor, they did the routine ultrasound (that they do every two weeks) and my cervix had shortened from 4.4 cm (which is really good) to 1.5 cm. I had also dialated 1 cm, so they sent me to the hosptital. When I got there, I was actually in preterm labor, but they determined the cause as I was dehydrated. So, they hooked me up to some IV fluids, and the labor stopped. Bad news is my cervix will obviously not grow back, so I'm on strict bed rest...this means...I may get up to use the potty, and take a shower (hygeine only) then back to bed or the couch laying down. Sitting up and riding in a car is not an option. I may only ride in a car to my appointments, considering I may no longer drive. They went ahead and gave me the steroid shots for the babies to develop their lungs just in case I have them in the next few weeks. I'll go back Monday, barring no snow, to have my FFN test to tell whether I'll have them within 2 weeks, or if they can hold off two more weeks. I am having an extremely hard time with this. I'm such a goer, so please keep me and the babies in your prayers that we can get through this. I know having healthy babies will be much better than me running the roads like I'm used to. Well ta-ta for now, I'll keep you posted, or try to.

Baby Face

One of my baby girls. The other baby had her face down, so we couldn't get a good picture of her face. There is a foot right in front this baby's chin if you look carefully, and a butt in front of her right eye. They still have a lot of plumping up to do in the next 10-14 weeks, but I just thought she was already so pretty.
