Hello from my bed

I am off the high doses of magnesium as of Wednesday afternoon, so this morning I feel pretty great. Surprisingly, I feel rested--I don't sleep much in this hospital bed. It's Friday and there is still no sign of babies. We are relieved.

My doctors say we're playing a waiting game. We are watching for infection (fever), active labor, or me going crazy. They have me hooked up to monitors during the day listening to the babies, but I get two 4 hour breaks at night! I love listening to them, but it is harder to sleep. Doug also is grateful because he can sleep. I told him that it's probably the only time the babies' kicking will keep him awake at night. It feels a little nice to give him a dose of it. They are so active and the nurses have to move the monitors usually every 1-2 hours to keep them "on".

As of this morning, they will be removing my IV thing in my arm. They were going to put another one in, but I asked my doctor and he said I don't need to. The little things that bring me joy right now. I think I told Doug 3 times how excited I am not to have that IV thing in my arm.

Overall, life is good. The babies are growing and I'm still pregnant. Tomorrow is 32 weeks and 34 weeks doesn't feel so far away anymore. Thanks for your support, love, and prayers.
