As of this morning I have been in the hospital 2 weeks on bedrest. The monitoring of the girls has been going great, they listen to both of their heartbeats at the same time twice a day. So that part is cool. The only part not cool about it is I have to lay flat on my back for an hour, oh well. 

This morning we had another ultrasound. Baby A (on my left side) is still head down and is the bigger of the two, she weighs 1lb 11oz. Baby B turned breech earlier this week and she weighs 1lb 7 oz. The doctors say twins are still safe as long as the difference is less than 20% between the two. The girls are approx. 13% diff so we don't have to worry one is getting a lot more nutrition than the other. They are measuring between 24weeks6days and 25weeks4days. the doctors are calling it 25 weeks 4 days. and said we have made it through some very important weeks and the next few still matter a lot. It still looks like I will be here until I deliver.

We made it to 22 weeks 6 days on Friday March 

27th and went in for our regular ultrasound with 

the high risk doctors.They scanned the babies 

first and confirmed everything looked great with 

them. They are a little over a pound a piece and 

anatomy is all correct and healthy. When they 

went to check me they found that I had started 

dialating and put me on immediate (and 

permanent) bedrest. It does seem the possibility 

of going home at all before delivery is slim 

though. They are monitoring me and the girls 

several times a day and we are doing good, 

they just need to cook quite a bit more. Everyday 

I can keep them in is three less days in intensive 

care when they are born. Our next major goal is 

28 weeks with everyday counting and every 2 

weeks adding major increases in chances of 

normal healthy lives.
