I'm home!!!!

I got released a few days early. I am so excited to be back home and have my own bed, see my pets, and have Jesse right by my side.

I had my gestational diabetes test on Wednesday and I passed it with flying colors, 98!This morning I had an FFN test to predict labor within the next 7 to 14 days, which came back negative. So it looks like I won't be going into labor anytime soon.

They did a growth scan on the girls. Addison is weighing 2 pounds 5 ounces and Riley is 2 pounds 6 ounces. The girls are growing right on track and very close to one another. I can't believe I am carrying almost 5 pounds of baby in me. I didn't gain any weight in the hospital so I am only up 15-16 pounds for the whole pregnancy.Lastly, they did a cervical length check and my cervix has stayed the same measuring at a 1.3.My OB so was so pleased with all the results that she didn't see any need to keep me. I haven't really been contracting so the oral meds Nifetaphine (percardia) is working well and I haven't needed a terb shot to stop contractractions in a week and a half.

I need to be better abour the bed rest and let other people do things for me. So I have batroom privlages and a shower once a day, but that is about it. I need to act like I am in the hospital and stay lying down. Sara will be here on Sunday night and moving in on Monday so I know I will appreciate her help.

  1. How exciting!! I'm so glad you are back home . . . I'm sure being stuck on bedrest at home is at least more comfortable (although the tendency to over-do it is greater). Stay off those feet! I'm glad you'll have company now. You can send your sister out to get things, and you'll be able to start preparing things for those girls. Sounds like all is going well. - Tkeys
