Note to self...

Don't read a Christian romance novel when you're in the hospital long term. I was 3/4 of the way through the book and had to put it down because it was making me miss my loving husband. *sigh*

I woke up this morning feeling good. My contractions have been few and far between since yesterday morning when they'd picked up for a couple of hours. The boys have been active as always and keep the nursing staff in and out trying to keep them on the monitors to get a good 20 minute strip (NST). Friday night it took them 3 hours and 4 different nurses to get a solid 20 minute read on either of them. Yesterday they tried in the morning since they seem to be overly active in the evening and ended up having to give up and try again last night. (They do NSTs once daily.) I've got to ornery little boys! LOL They haven't put me on the monitors today so we'll see how it goes.

When Dr. Williams came in yesterday he let me know that I'll be doing my glucose test next week. Blech. At least I don't have to hang out in the lab for an hour for that, right? :) My perinatologist, Dr. Fraser, also came by today. He ordered an ultrasound for either today or Friday to check on the boys' and measure fluid levels to make sure all is well. He also wants me to repeat the steroid shots in another week or two as an additional boost for the boys. This is a pretty new thing that they've studied (this hospital being one of the places they tested at). I have faith that these boys will make it far enough that they won't need the aid of those steroid shots. :)

I have had a lot of guests in the past few days and have so greatly enjoyed the visits. I was even brought some festive decorations to make it feel more "Thankgiving-y" which I love. I got to see Brooklyn for the first time in a week yesterday evening and seeing her brought me to tears. I miss my baby girls so much and was so thankful to get to see her cute little grin and hear her babbling away.

Thank you so much to all of you for your continued prayers and support.
