Tuesday's Recap -

Medically, nothing new to report. Good, great, wonderful. I am hanging in there. Friday we'll get our ultrasound and they'll check to see if my cervix has changed any further.

I am still enjoying looking at my pretty flowers that Eric gave me as well as the beautiful ones that Daniel & Abby sent me. So nice! Its the only thing I have that's remotely close to actually being outside. The view outside of my window is the heli-pad where emergencies are being transferred in and out. Nice.

My mom brought me a picture of Meurice to my room and I can't stop looking at it. I miss him so much. Its so hard to be away from him! I can't imagine how women remain in the hospital on bedrest when they have other children at home - - let alone a dog! I just hope whenever I get home he hasn't forgot about me :(

Today I had some visitors - - Dana and Sherry, who are both Physicial Therapists here at Wake Med, stopped by this afternoon. It was so nice to see friends and just chit chat. Thanks for the cookies and magazines!! Leah brought me lunch - - tacos! One thing's for sure, when I leave here, whether or not I am pregnant, I will be ONE BIG GIRL. Then my neighbors Meg & Josh came by. They've been taking care of Meurice when Eric's with me, so that has been helpful. He really enjoys going over to their house and playing with their dog. To finish the night off, my father in law and cousin in law Jason stopped by. Means alot to have all of these people help me pass the time. Oh - and of course Eric was here. He comes everyday after work.

Now me - - nothing, which is good to report. Every day is a victory. I am trying to remain patient and positive. Tomorrow I will have been here 1 week. That's good news in itself, I've been able to keep them in one additional week. I received some amazing emails today from other mothers of multiples who had similar / worse situations. These women also went on bed rest for various reasons or had pre-term labor and delivered preemies. Some even went on bed rest around week 20 and remained in the hospital for months. Then some of these women went on bed rest at 20weeks and were able to hold out until 36+ weeks. These were horrible situations for these women, their stories give me the motivation that this will work out no matter what.

Last - American Idol was on and I like that Danny guy.
