Update-for all those who are wondering

As many of you now by now, my new home is Greenwich Hospital. About a week ago, I was at home and started having very minor conractions. The docs however said to call no matter how minor things seemed since I was already considered high risk. So I called in the middle of the night and was told to come to the hospital. While my contractions were mild and considerably spaced out, I was dilated and because of that, the doctors told me that I will remain here until the twins are born.

By the way, our major milestone of 32 weeks came and went this past Sunday. After going for an ultrasound, we found out the babies are measuring over 4 pounds each. Docs seem optimistic with our situation...babies are measuring well and every day they stay inside only makes them stronger.

As for Felix and I, we are making the best of this situation. Felix works during the day while I am here with my mom and then spends each night with me in the hospital. My day consists of meals, nurses testing my blood glucose levels, nurses monitoring the babies, and a sponge bath each day-I am not allowed to get up and take showers. I don't even want to talk about my hair.....which says a lot since I normally do not fuss over my hair.

In terms of of a timeline...it really is a waiting game. It could be two days, it could be a week. Most of the docs seems to think it won't go past another week only because I am dilated further and our little boy has basically flipped back and now both babies are head down, ready to go. So it looks like a natural birth could be possible. Right now, I do experience contractions-some unbearable at times. Most of these come in the wee hours of the morning-between 3 and 5 am. They hold off the contractions with an injection of some medicine that I forget the name of. It used to calm the contractions down totally and now it is taking longer to take its effect, and it doesn't shut down all contraction like behavior. Docs say that eventually, the injections will not be able to stop the contractions and into full labor I will go. Either that or my water will break and they will do nothing to stop labor after that point. But until then, all we can do is wait. Maybe we will make it to week 33...or perhaps 34! Who knows!!!
