23 weeks 6 days

Brodie says I need better titles, so I'm trying to think of creative ones!!!

Its amazing what sleep can do for you!! The nurses and I joke that they are just helping me prepare for interrupted sleep when the boys get here!! I was able to sleep off and on between medications, and then about 3 hours straight after my 2am dose. I'm not really one to take naps during the day....which I'm sure will soon change, so for now I'm pretty tired by the time night comes!!

We had a some snow overnight, about 6 inches, and now the winds have picked up, so Brodie is just staying here until work tonight. I know its not ideal for him, but I feel so much better when he's here!!

The boys were monitored this morning and looked great. We normally have a hard time keeping track of them because they are still so small and have so much room to move, but today we were able to keep them both on for almost 30 minutes straight!! Heart rates were again 140/150's which has been pretty consistent since our first ultrasound!! My morning contraction monitorings went great as well. The first one showed only one contraction and the second time I was on for almost 2 hours and didn't have any contractions!! I got my second shot to help mature the boys lungs, so we are done with those now!!

Dr. S came in over lunch and is still pleased with how everything is going!! I love having a Dr that is completely open and honest with me, so I know if she says not to worry, I feel much better!!! I guess that's one of those extra perks of working with your physician..complete honesty (even when you may not want it)!!!

I've been asked a lot if we have settled on names and the answer is.....no!! We are close, but still not there!! We are still planning on keeping them a secret when we do decide, but as of now, they are still "the boys." I promise my boys one name will not be Billy Bob Burton even if their dad thinks its the best!!!

My night monitoring went great as well!!! My blood pressure has been up a few times today, but they aren't concerned, just going to keep monitoring it!!

Thanks to our visitors for today - Leslie, Kayla, Veronica, Darlene, and Lindsay. Its so nice to be at a hospital that Brodie works at and my office is attached to!!
