"Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were an hour old I would give my life for you
This is the miracle of life"

I am in the hospital...but the nursery is ready for the boys!!!





I am so excited that I got the nursery done before I was admitted to the hospital! I went for a regular check up on Thursday and my cervix length had shortened and the cervix had also softened. While I was getting a sonogram, I had a contraction! I was admitted to labor and delivery and they monitored the boys and my contractions. I had several throughout that night, but they are giving me two different types of medication to stop them. As of Friday afternoon, no other conractions have been detected by the monitors!! They also have given me steroid shots to help the babies' lungs develop quicker. The needle for that shot was HUGE!!! If all goes well, there is a possibility that I could go home with a monitor on after a week! That is probably a long shot, but it helps to think that it is a possibility! Our goal is still to try to keep these guys incubating inside until 35 - 36 weeks!

  1. It's so good to hear that you and the boys are all RESTING! No more moving around allowed....growing is certainly most important. I can't believe it's getting so close for the time to get here, even though I know 4 weeks for you seems like a long time away. These guys might really HAVE the same birthday as Brett! Brett and I said a prayer (as usual) for you and Collin and Holden tonight. If I'm allowed to bring him to see you - we would love to. Let me know!

  4. The nursery is GORGEOUS!!! Be sure to keep these pictures, as it will never be this clean again

    I am guessing that the newborn pictures on the changing table are of you, looks like you anyway - I had a picture of me in Bailey's nursery too.
    Hugs!

  5. The nursery is perfect-serene and calming just like you. It is only a matter of time before the boys will know what true unconditional love really means. We are all praying for you and the boys!
