Well we got the good news from the doctor today. As of tomorrow, Stephanie is off of bed rest! YIPPY!! Does that mean she will be able to cook a wonderful Sunday dinner, or go out shopping? No! But, at least she can be up and about the house, go outside, go to church, go and get some dinner, and visit family.
Stephanie is now 34 weeks and everything is looking good. The doctor said that Stephanie has "exceeded her expectations" and that she did really good and bed rest did the job. Stephanie really did a great job with the bed rest, I only had to get after her a few times. I couldn't imagine having to lay down all day, everyday, she was amazing! Good Job Steph!
During our appointment today the doctor "checked her" and she is now dialated to a one and is 50% thinned, meaning things are progressing and progressing well. The babies should be about 5 1/2 pounds now and growing each day. On average, twins gain between 4-5 ounces per week, as opposted to a single baby at about 5-7 ounces per week. Hopefully, the babies will be here in the next couple of weeks and be healthy and strong when born.

So, this is the first time you've been pregnant and I haven't been. So, it just dawned on me yesterday after I talked to you, that there will be two new babies in the family and neither of them are mine. I can hold them all I want and then give them back to you when they cry! I'm so excited! Anyway, take it easy and be careful!
Take it easy Mama. I am glad the babies are healthy. What a relief. Just think you will have new babies for Christmas. How fun!!!
Good to hear the bedrest worked- I am so excited to see the babies-I hope you will post lots of pictures!!! Take care and congrats on your two new bundles of joy!!
