Day 42

Our wall of fame! We have had so many visitors! I still don't get pictures of everyone that comes but the majority of them...I can't help it if I forget! :) All of the nurses and staff that come in love to look at the pictures and decorations in my room!

What a great week we have had so far! Days are filled with visitors and we have received so many thoughtful words and cards from family and friends. The nurses here on staff have become our family. They are all so kind and take such wonderful care of me, the girls, AND John! They truly care about us and are rooting for these little ladies to stay cooking as long as they can! HA!

Our weekly scan was done yesterday and definitely gave us some relief. Aubrey hasn't been gaining much weight over the past couple of weeks and this week she proved that she is catching up to her sister! Aubrey weighs 2lb 13oz and Charlotte weighs 3lb 6oz. The doctor was happy with their weights and especially their cords! There was no tightness with the cords and my fluid looked good. At this rate, we may even make it 34 weeks!

WOW!

Hard to believe that tomorrow is day 40! It honestly doesn't seem like we have been here that long, but on the other hand it does.....if that makes sense! I am still able to walk around the hospital and even walk outside so that helps me to stay sane!
My bedside massage last week was WONDERFUL! I wasn't sure how a "side-to-side" massage would be compared to laying on my belly, but it really helped with soreness that I have from laying on my sides in the bed.
Friday was another big milestone for us.....Week 30! Can't wait until the ultrasound this week to see how much our little girls have grown. Their momma is getting bigger so they must be....right?!
Monitoring is still going great! The girls are a lot more cooperative than they were when we got here. They are a few variables but no decels yet! YAY! Let's keep it that way! I have a few aches and pains as I am getting bigger, but nothing major.
It could be 2 more weeks or even 3 more! Who knows! What I do know is that even though I worry about how Aubrey and Charlotte are doing, it is SO reassuring to be here and know that I have the best care possible.
