33 Weeks!!

We've made it another week in the hospital! Everything is going well. The babies continue to look great on the monitors! My contractions are far apart and not big (so not big that I don't feel them at all!). :) We had a growth scan this morning and were blown away by how much the babies are growing! Last week- our little boy was 3 lbs 1 oz and our little girl was 2 lbs 8 oz. Today- the boy is 3 lbs 12 oz. and the girl is 3 lbs 9 oz!! Our Dr. said that many times when a mom of multiples is on bed rest, the babies grow more. It doesn't always seem like it- but I realize now this "laying around" is an important job. We have 3 weeks to go before the babies come- and hopefully lots more growing to do in that time frame! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! We are so thankful for you!

From the Hospital...

A week ago tonight we checked into the hospital when we had a little scare with the pregnancy. Today everything looks great with the twins. They are growing on schedule, their heart rates are good, and they are moving like crazy. The doctor's made the decision to keep us here at the hospital until delivery, which we hope won't be for another 5 weeks. Although we would probably be much more comfortable at home- we take comfort knowing that help is right down the hall here if we need it-rather than 25 minutes away. Mike has been staying at the hospital every night on the pull out chair (it's a tight fit- but he's managing!!) and going home during the day to work. My mom came in today- so she is helping me get things done at school and at home. Thank you to all of you for your prayers! We can feel them working!!
