of course everything is still subject to change but here is the latest...
The current plan is to keep me on the medicine to control contractions for another couple days while I am in the maternity bedrest section of the hospital. After a couple days (how many days is a couple anyway?) I will discontinue the medicine and see how things progress naturally. More than likely within a couple of days of discontinuing the medicine our little ones will be born - my guess is within the 33rd week which starts tomorrow (6/2) - but you never know.
For now, in the bedrest section of this hospital things are pretty good. Since my monitoring is down to once a day, I am much less of a science experiment than previously now only connected to medical devices on my legs as opposed to the 7 different places before. These leg warmer styled contraptions help prevent blood clots - but these I can disconnect myself. I am not really allowed to leave the room, but I get to use the restroom and I think my personal goal for tomorrow is a shower! Brant has even graduated from a couch pretending to be a bed to a full cot - so I think that is a nice treat for him too.
As a side note, one of my tasks for this weekend (before everything happened) was create the list of people to be notified once the crew is born. Unfortunately, this list was never generated so we will do our best, but please don't be insulted if you find out via blog - my personal emails are inaccessible to me in the hospital.
