28 Weeks

Not big enough to be done being pregnant yet

We did it!  28 weeks is the absolute bare minimum my doctor wanted me to reach, and we made it!  Of course, the longer I stay pregnant the better, but it feels great to make it to the first milestone. 

This past week was pretty eventful.  I met with the perinatologist, and things were looking pretty concerning.  He decided to admit me to the hospital again for three days to stop contractions (most of which I don't feel) and monitor me and assess after that.  The nurses that took care of me were all so awesome, so even though they had to wake me up frequently I forgive them.  I am getting sick of the hospital already, especially hospital food.  I really admire those of you who handled hospital bedrest for weeks or months!  Luckily, at the end of three days they said they saw pretty much no change so they felt comfortable sending me home.  I'm starting to feel like every time I have a doctor appointment I should bring a bag packed for a hospital stay, haha.

My nurses were so sweet

So, now I'm pretty sure I'm going to be on bedrest for the long haul.  I'm actually doing a pretty good job of keeping myself busy.  I still feel like there are so many decisions I need to make before the babies come.  There are lots of shows on Netflix, and Blake and I started reading a parenting book. I think my idea to start watching Hoarders was a bad one because now I have the urge to clean and organize but I'm not allowed to.  I'm also working on some things for the nursery. I'm starting to feel pretty lonely and sad that I'm missing out on parties and get-togethers, and also guilty about not doing any cooking or cleaning or anything really, but it's all for a very important cause.

It's very strange knowing that the babies could be here anytime between now and 10 weeks from now.  I'm working on staying extra positive though, so I'm picturing my babies being born on Easter.  Wouldn't that be cute?  Easter babies :)
