Now that my BP is more stablized and I am feeling better, I just wanted to check in and assure you that I (and the babies) are doing just fine. It is unfortunate that I couldn’t get any bedrest time at home (T.V., Video Games with Mike, playing with the dog), but I wouldn’t be receiving the care that I am here. Jason has been very supportive: sleeping restless nights on a horrible blue bed chair, bringing me toiletries and medications, cooking fresh dinners and bringing them to me, washing my new attire (Moo Moo’s {sp?}), and asking the doctors many, many questions to keep them on their toes. Hospital time is slow…each hour feels like forever, and somehow the nurses wake me up more at night, almost every hour, than in the day, which makes it very hard to sleep. Who ever heard of shift changes at 4am? Oh well, the important thing is that things are going well…each day counts! On a good note, tonight mom is bringing me La Taqueria burrito’s and will be staying with me so that Jason can sleep at home; she has been as supportive as Jason. It drives the nurses crazy that I am allowed to control my diabetes and eat my own food, but too bad!

Baby Update: Both babies have heart beats, and they seem to be about the same rates, which are both in the normal range. We also visited the NICU this morning and it was reassuring to see how many small babies are doing so well. It gives us hope that things will be okay, especially if I can make it just a few more weeks (February 9th is our first major goal to reach… at that point I will be 28 weeks pregnant). Next Tuesday or Thursday we have an ultrsound to see how well the babies are growing…we will let you know how that goes.

Thanks to all for the lovely flowers and warm wishes through these trying times. It is nice to be loved by so many!!!
