32 Weeks

Today is a big milestone for the babies. When this whole bedrest/contractions ordeal started, I wasn't quite 27 weeks along. The doctor really wanted us to make it to the 32 week mark- the timeframe when long term lung complications are far less frequent. So here we are- 32 weeks and still going! We'd love to get a few more weeks, but every day we get is a gift and is an opportunity for the babies to get stronger and bigger. Today is day 38 of bedrest- boy was yesterday hard just laying around when it was 70 degrees outside. Plus, two of our close friends- Dave and Christine and Sean and Michele delivered their babies this week. It was disappointing not to be able to visit them in the hospital.

Here is my almost 32 week belly picture, taken right after my appointment on Thursday in a rare vertical moment.
