I hope I have not worried any of you by letting a few days lapse since the last post. I had a wonderful weekend and was actually too busy to blog. My parents came to spend the day with me on Saturday, and my friend Kate flew in from Atlanta to stay with me Saturday through Monday. While they were here I took several wheel chair rides, visited the cafeteria (it was nice!), took a ride outside, watched several chick flicks, and had some pregnancy pictures taken by Kate. I almost didn't feel like I was in the hospital for a few days. It was definitely a wonderful break in my usual routine.
The doctors have said that everything is fine. My blood pressure is okay, and the babies are monitoring well. I am still having NST's twice a day to monitor the babies' heart beats. I am also having 2 BPP's per week, where they use the ultrasound to check on the babies' movement, muscle tone, breathing practice, and fluid. I had a BPP yesterday, and the girls did really well. They were practicing breathing a LOT, and as usual, they were moving around very well. I also had cord dopplers done to check the blood flow through the umbilical cords. The results from that were also good. They will do dopplers once a week, which I guess means I will only have one more!
I am counting down the days that I have to remain in the hospital. 8 more till delivery! I'm glad the numbers are getting smaller, but am beginning to get anxious about the fact that our daughters will be here in a little over a week! It's a lot to think about, so I try to keep my mind off of it. Now I'm just trying to stay busy until the big day.
