An update...

Two weeks of bed rest finished and hopefully 5 or more to go! Yesterday I was 31 weeks! I ws able to get out of the house for the first time yesterday in 2 weeks to go to my drs appointment! I was so excited to get ready-really ready, smell the fresh air and see the world again :) My drs appoint. went really well! Baby A is weighing 3lbs 13oz and baby b is 3lbs 11 oz! The dr is hopful tha ill mke it to atleast the 34 mark. Ideally he wants me to get to 36 weeks, but 34 is not shabby either! I have to say bed rest isn't as bad as i thought. Obviously i wouldn't want to do this everday but given the sitution things are going pretty well! Mike has been the best help ever! He has really stepped up to the plate in every aspect! He takes care of Ryks, works, makes dinner, goes grocery shopping, cleans the house...and i mean the whole house...toliets, mirrors, vacumns, laundry, sweeps, mops, etc...makes frequent trips to the craft store and after all that still has the patience to put up with me! :) The hardest thing for me is seeing Ryks leave me in the mornings to go to a family members home to be watched. I'm sure he is having the time of his life being with my grandma, sister in law and big cousins, my mom, aunt and Mike's mom but it stll is hard for me since ive always been with my sweet boy! But I know the more I am down the better off the babes will be. Im so grateful for the many family and friends that have either called or come to visit while being down, it sure helps pass time! I have been keeping busy by reading, writing in my journal, listening to books on tape, making file folder games for Ryks, working on my leader personal progress and every now and then getting a nap in! :)So all in all life is good. I'm very thankful for the life I have and to be able to soon meet my precious little sweethearts!(But not too soon) :)

The most dreadful words....BED REST!!!!

On Friday January 7th I was told the most depressing 2 words that I new were probably coming my way but still did NOT want to hear...BED REST! I am 29 weeks.Full term for twins is 36 weeks or more so that is the number that we are shooting for. I've already started to dialate so that is why Im on bed rest. I feel awesome physically so its hard to be down when there's still a few things that I would of liked to have gotten done.I hope and pray that these next 7 weeks will go by quickly and that all will be well with our special baby girls!
