What an amazing accomplish it has been to reach 35 weeks! The babies are still inside growing stronger and stronger each day...yippeee! We had a little scare that sent us to the hospital late Saturday night because I was having horrible cramps in my tummy and back. I started getting cramps at 11:30 pm and decided to continue to lay down for a while. I went upstairs to get in bed to try and get more comfortable. An hour and a half later, I was still in a lot of pain so we drove to the hospital. I was actually having contractions every 4-5 minutes. My doctor was on vacation, so I told the babies not yet...pretty please :) The nurse checked me and I was dilated a little more just to 2 cm. I was still thinned the same, so that is a get thing!
The doctor who was on call prescribed a shot to calm the contractions and pain. They gave it to me in the hip and within 5-10 minutes, I was pretty much sleeping without pain. I know that God was by our side and answered my prayers to keep these little ones inside for a little while longer!
It was a tough weekend for Grant knowing that he had to leave for Detroit on Monday until Thursday. His wonderful parents came over Sunday night to visit and we shared a moment in prayer. Thank you for your amazing words and there is no doubt that God has been with each one of us this week in helping us while we have been apart.
We have an ultrasound on Friday to check the babies growth...so excited to see our little ones :) We will go in to see Doc on Monday for a follow-up appointment. I will then be released from BED REST and be able to move around :) I must say that these weeks have flew by and it was worth every second just to keep our babies inside and growing!
I thank everyone for all your thoughts and prayers. It means more than words can describe to know that so many people are keeping us in mind. God has continued to answer many prayers and has made this journey so amazing. I have loved every second of it and look forward to the journey that lies ahead for our family. I pray that the rest of the pregnancy goes very smooth and that we have healthy strong babies :)
I will update you all early next week!!!
