32 Weeks and 3 Days

I've made it another week!! YAY!!! I am still in the hospital though, but might be going home tomorrow. My doc did a test called Fetal Fibronectin on me last night. We should have the results tonight. But this test is suppose to show how likely I am to deliver these boys early. This test will give my doc a better idea of what I need to do as far as staying in the hospitall goes. Right now I am still contracting, but we have deteremined that I'm always going to contract. My contractions right now are not making my cervix change which is a good thing. If I go home I will continue to take medicine for the contractions. I am currently taking Procardia and Terbutaline as needed for the contractions. As long as the contractions are not getting more intense then I am fine. It has been a long week, but at least if something was going to happen last weekend we have prevented it and these boys are getting more days inside so they will be stronger when they come out. Plus the boys got the steroid shot for their lungs just in case they did come early. So everything is looking much better and we are hoping to go at least two more weeks. As soon as I here from the test results, I will get a post up. Sorry, it has taken me so long to post, but it has been a crazy week.

Hey! I got the message from Ann Bradford. I can't send the hospital card though - something to do with the security at work. I am so glad everything is going better. Those babies just need to cook a little while longer! You are in my prayers and I know that everything will be just fine. I can't wait till you can hold those precious angels and give them a kiss for me :) Love you lots!!!
