Well, I guess I am using my blog as a way to document what's going on. So, the latest....its Saturday around noon. I received the last of my meds yesterday at 3pm and things are still stable and steady. The meds were to suppress the contractions and they worked, which was wonderful. The next step is to see how my body responds, on its own, without the meds. So far, day 1, a success. I haven't had any contractions, pains, issues etc. Each additional day is a victory, I'll take it.
Last night Eric and I got to tour the NICU. I really didn't want to, but after some persuassion and thought I knew it was the right thing to do. We saw the facility, which is fully equipped and well established. It made me feel slightly better, knowing that if these babies too early, we are at the right place. All babies born before 35 weeks gestation would go there. We saw babies who had just arrived and strong babies who were close to be released. Their progress was obvious. I know they would take tremendous care of our twins if they come too early.
Everyone keeps wondering if I am going home, and the answer is no. Official hospital bedrest and as hard and miserable as it sounds, it would be all worth it to buy some more time and keep these babies inside a little while longer.
That's the story for now . . . .
