Bed Rest

After 2 days in the hospital, I am finally back at home. Monday morning I went into pre-term labor and was admitted to the hospital. They were finally able to stop the contractions with medications and I was able to return home, but I am now on strict bed rest.

I am 33 weeks pregnant now, and the goal is to make it to at least 35 weeks, but Michael and I are hoping to make it to 36 or 37 weeks. Both girls are about 5 lbs now and the doctors are pleased with their development, but the next couple of weeks is the critical time for the development of their lungs. So the longer they stay in here the better! So as challenging as it is for me to lay around and do absolutely nothing, I know that it is what needs to be done. It is worth it! We really want our girls to be healthy and strong enough to come home with us right away, so anything I can do to try to keep them in here longer, I will do.
