Go AWAY contractions!!!

PLEASE PLEASE leave me alone contractions - I am so sick of you!!

After having a GREAT weekend, I had to start a 4th round of meds (Indocin) tonight to stop contractions. I was having a lot of pressure too, but the meds seemed to help alleviate some of that. Since my fluid levels were OK last Wednesday, the docs weren't concerned about starting the meds.

The GOOD NEWS is now I'm almost guaranteed to get to 28 weeks which is only 4 days away!!! I'm looking forward to that!

Here's to a good rest of the week!

WOOHOOO!!! 27 weeks today!!

WOOHOO!!! We made it another week!!! I always love Fridays bc they remind me of how far we have come!! 1 more week until we reach our next milestone!! I hope this week flies by!!!

26.5 week Ultrasound...

This past Sunday night, I was given a 3rd round of meds (Indocin) to stop contractions. The contractions were painful and frequent, but the meds seemed to have done the job for the most part. I'm still contracting, but not nearly as frequent. Today was my 26.5 week ultrasound. Things seem to be status quo. Baby A's fluid level was 25 (normal low range) and Baby B's was 42 (normal high range). Baby A's fluid did not change since Sunday night (I have to have ultrasounds prior to being given the Indocin bc it can decrease fluid levels) so that was good news. Both babies are doing well and my cervix (other than shortening 3 mm) hasn't changed at all since last week. THUS, if things remain the same for the next 10 days, my doctor will check me on Halloween and possibly send me home, pending the results of a Fetal Fibroctin test. If the test is negative then there is a 95% chance that I won't deliver within 2 weeks of the test being completed. I have mixed feelings about going home. I, of course, want to be with George and Luukas, but there is a sense of security that you get out of being here at the hospital too. So, we'll see what happens!! It will just be GREAT to get to that 28 week mark!! I can't wait!!

NAMES....

So we haven't decided 100% on names yet, but I thought I'd share the latest...
