We’re very close, within an hour of making it over our first big hurdle, which was the steroid shots for the babies lungs. As of 10:30 this morning they would have had time enough take full affect. When the doctor stopped in this morning, he said the next goal is to get him until 34 weeks, which is this next Saturday. They said they will not give me any stronger meds to keep my contractions to a minimum, but the ones we are using now seem to be doing the trick. Again, it’s one day at a time.

The first day here was obviously the hardest, I was an emotional wreck. My friend Karen from work stopped by with Balloons for Sophia, twizzlers for Kevin and chocolate for me. Karissa was able to drive into town and pick up mom from the airport late Friday night. And the hardest part, was the fact that I could hardly sleep, even with sleeping meds.

Saturday Mom and karissa sat with me most of the day and we just sat around talking, it was nice to have company. After Sophia’s naptime, Kevin brought her for a quick visit. She sat down right next to me and cuddled for a good 3-4 minutes. She seemed interested in everything that was going, on but I’m sure she just has no idea. She did as well as can be expected for an 18 month old. They took turns walking down to see the babies and played with the balloons Karen had brought. I didn’t get a lot of love, so it was kind of hard on me. I did get a really good kiss before she left.

I slept much better last night (about 6 hours) and just got out of the shower. I feel like a brand new person….until they hooked me back up to all the machines.

2 days down, many more to come. Thanks for all the love and support from our friends and family. It is much appreciated!!
