A family in the making.....

After beginning this blog as a way to stay connected with others during my hospital stay and last few weeks of pregnancy, it has now turned into a way to relay our new sense of "normal". Life changed drastically when we welcomed Natalie to our family. Once we got used to that new normal, our lives changed again and again.....and still once again. Through bed rest, hospital stays, and living with my parents, a sense of normal was completely lost. Now that we've welcomed two more children into our family, we are slowly beginning to understand normal once again. It is definitely not what we're used to, but it is wonderful!

Quick Update

Just a quick update on this week's news and progress.

Monday: Ultrasound showed that both boys are very healthy and growing. Both are attempting to breathe, and are very active. Cervical length has not changed since I was admitted, which is wonderful! Doc said that sometimes it will shorten rapidly, then remain the same till the body goes into labor. That's what we're hoping for. If this continues, I'll be going home in a mere three weeks!

Tuesday:Doctor agrees to one monitoring session per day. This means I only have to be "strapped up" for roughly an hour a day. Babies are always healthy, never any contractions. Trying to monitor two moving babies for sixty minutes per session twice a day is very tiresome.

Wednesday: Nothing much to say....spent the day watching movies!

Thursday: Ultrasound once again showed two healhty boys. Got pictures of both faces. Tristan waved at us with his huge hand! Good way to start the day! Great nurses today!

That's about it. Not much happening, but all good news!
