I'm officially in the hospital for the long haul... and let's pray it's a LONG LONG LONG haul. Somehow my head/heart isn't capable in any way to go beyond today and I think that's self preservation at this point. I let myself feel some emotion yesterday with my mom, husband, and a close friend, and … Continue reading 21 weeks 4 days

PRAYERS – Hospitalized – 21+ weeks
Well I haven't been sure of sharing this info with the world but at this point I can't find my big list of family emails and my energy is lost on keeping people who need to know aware of critical changes. I'm not even sure who should know this - but in my heart I … Continue reading PRAYERS – Hospitalized – 21+ weeks
Prayers Please
We had our 20 week ultrasound with a fully anatomy scan for each baby exactly a week ago today. Since the results we've taken some time to gather our thoughts/emotions and try to get in touch with family in a more personal way so forgive me for the delay in posting to the rest of … Continue reading Prayers Please

My head secretly wonders what that will evolve into (scar revision?!). … Continue reading Random Thoughts Are Just Dandy

Bed Rest or Bust – 19+ weeks
A lot has evolved over the past few weeks yet at the same time it's revolved around my goal to do a whole lot of nothing. In fact that's my goal for the next few months which is daunting when you think of how many months that really is - how many weeks that involves … Continue reading Bed Rest or Bust – 19+ weeks
Bed Rest Begins – 17 weeks
January 1st 2012: After a week of contractions (what I expected to just be Braxton Hicks) I was concerned when I had strange lower back pain New Year's Eve night. It lasted for about an hour and went away as fast as it came. I told myself to go back to sleep and see how … Continue reading Bed Rest Begins – 17 weeks
Changes Every Day : Contractions Begin
Many friends and family are aware that I had some contractions yesterday. At almost 17 weeks this is not something I expected. I'd been sick on Tuesday and although I did my best to keep food and fluids going, I just felt nauseated all morning. By the time the evening came around I was hungrier … Continue reading Changes Every Day : Contractions Begin
