Those were the words of the perinatologist this afternoon. He stated he was “cautiously optimistic”. My labs today were good, virtually unchanged from when I came in on Friday. No signs of infection, temp still normal. Taking one day at a time. Since I did not go into labor within the first 48 hours of [...]

Today was uneventful and in our little world that is a good thing. The perinatologist was in and said things were good so far. One of the biggest risks of a ruptured sac is the threat of infection. If Loen was to get an infection then Derby would get it also, not good odds there. [...]

We’re all awake (3 of us anyways. Tadd needs to sleep) and it is 4:30 in the morning. Even though Tadd has said it before, thank you to everyone for the help, snacks, movies,trashy magazines, flowers and especially the words of encouragement.

Today went well, except for a bit of dehydration that caused leg and back pain for Hava. She immediately felt better after getting an IV. Right now, no news is good news, and we have nothing to report. Hava has been off the medications that were stopping her contractions for over 24 hours and nothing [...]

Today was a decent day. We learned more, got over the shock of last night, and strengthened our resolve. We have had good support and I truly appreciate that people are not being too pushy about getting information. Maybe that is bad on my part, but I really do not want to talk to everybody [...]

We just need 39 more days. Please, think positive thoughts/pray, whatever you can do to will our babies to stay in for another 39 days. In 39 day, the babies will be at 28 weeks. This is 12 weeks early, but they would have very great chances to not have any long lasting problems. They [...]

My Grandpa Kirk is an old Okie. Even though he had been in California for longer than he lived in Oklahoma he still has the thickest accent, it is slow and smoky. Kind of like if whiskey had a voice. He drove a red truck with a brass spittoon on the floor, he always had [...]

22 weeks

I’m already lying about their age. Technically they will be 22 weeks on Monday but hey close enough. We went to the specialist today, lots of cute shots of the tadpoles. They are also lying diagonally across my belly. So heads on the right all those little feet on the left. That would explain the [...]

Rollin with my homies
October 5th, 2007 · 1 Comment
I wish I could find all the right words to explain what it feels like when the twins move, and they move a lot now. At times it freaks me out because I get a lot of movement on my left and nothing on the right. Last Monday I was sitting in a class (to [...]
