Things have been going great until yesterday. My Dr came in and said that if things continued to go well that there would be a good chance that I could come home and do bed rest. I was very excited about this news. That meant the medicines have been working and the babies are doing great. I had my ultrasound yesterday and babies were excellent. They have fat on their bodies now and looked so cute. Keaton wouldn't perform for pictures, but Kendall was all about it. My fluid levels were still a little on the high side causing some pressure and my cervix had thickened to 2.6 cenitmeters. They told me to go back to the room and Dr. Turnquest would be in to see me later in the afternoon.
Andrew and I were getting very excited because things were looking so good and my chances of going home were looking very good. He asked if he should start packing some stuff up, but I told him to wait. I didn't want to jinks my chances. The nurses were getting very excited for us as well. Dr. Turnquest came in and asked me if I wanted to hear the bad news? Well nobody wants to hear the bad news, but my Dr. is very forward and won't beat around the bush about things. I am glad she is like that though. I had to have a glucose test done yesterday and it came back abnormal. She said they are were going to test me again and do the three hour gestational diabetes test. There is a chance it could come back ok, but if it doesn't I will be put on a certain diet. Dr. Turnquest also wanted to check me and see if I was dilated. When I came into the hospital four weeks ago, I was dialated to a loose one. Yesterday when she checked me I was a dilated to a two. She looked at me and said she didn't like it and I was not going home. She said that if we lived in Evansville she wouldn't even let me go home. She said that would cause too much movement and my water could break with all the pressure. This is the news we didn't want to hear, but we know it is best for Keaton and Kendall.
Before she left the room, she said we have made huge improvements since being admitted. The babies are much better off now. We will be a full twenty-seven weeks on Sunday and starting in on the twenty-eighth week. Getting to the twenty-eighth week was a goal to be looking for, because we will be able to get another round of Betamethasone for the babies lungs. I had a breakdown after my nurse and Dr. left the room. It was just a let down for me, but once again I know I am in the best place and once the babies are here, it will be well worth it. Friday (today) I will be doing my three hour glucose test. Hopefully it will come back ok. I will keep you updated.
Thanks again for all the love, support, flowers, kind thoughts, and cards. A big thank you to our families for all they have done. We def. feel loved!
