Well, I guess those 18 days of being at home were a bit tougher on me than I thought. I didn't do enough resting, or something.
Thursday we went for a routine appointment and my glucose screen and the doctor found some scary developments, so she sent us right to Labor & Delivery. We were pretty much told that we would be having babies that day, but they would do steroids shots just in case and put me back on indicin and procardia.
We had 24 very scary hours during which Tim got the visit the NICU and see our babies little isolettes and machines. We were briefed my the neonatologists, and I had lots and lots of meds. Right about 24 hours in, things started to calm down and turn around, so I am happy to say we have no babies today. (But Tim did just eat a banana.)
But the doctors don't want to risk anything, so I am likely here for the duration. We have heard estimates of time that aren't very long, but we are both being very positive and hope that I have to stay here for months. Obviously longer is better. I am just 26 weeks today. But I miss my dog and my house. Tim will have to go home to sleep during the week most likely, but luckily we have a nice room with a comfie-ish bed for him, so he can stay weekends.
I will keep you updated!

Ann - I just read this...I'm not sure what to say except Steve & I are thinking about you & the best thing you can do is stay positive (but I'm sure you've already hear d that a million times! Easier to say than do). We were very lucky with all three of ours (by the way, you've cuaght up with us FAST), but did have a few very scary moments with both Daniel & Steph...they both turned out great. We also have a friend who spent her three last months hospitalized with both of her pregnancies and her kids are fine. I'm sure you are hearing lots of stories, but I'm also guessing you are bored, so thought I'd add a few!
