Update!
Last Thursday I felt terrible, and I felt like I had the flu for a few days
before that. That night as I got into bed the pressure was just so much, that I told dh and we decided to go to the hospital. So I got out of bed, threw on some clothes and we drove to the hospital. After a few hours there, the doctor comes in and says that the helicopter would be there in about 15 minutes. So they airlifted me to St Louis, it was a very scary and stressful ride! Contractions were coming regularly, but they weren't very intense. The doctor felt my cervix before we left. She said it was closed, but very soft, and felt like it was about 1.5 cm long. I was started on Magnesium Sulfate, 2 grams per hour. That stuff was horrible! I couldn't see, and I was so weak from it, but it did the job. So a couple nights in the hospital, and they decided to discharge me today after contractions stopped. I'm now on Procardia, 60mg twice a day. (I was on 90mg once a day.) They think maybe I just tried to do too much, so now I absolutely HAVE to take it easy. I'll see my OB tomorrow. I was given two shots of steroids to help the babies' lungs mature, and I've also been diagnosed as preeclamptic. When I got home, there was an envelope stuck to the nursery door, which was closed. The envelope said, "There's not much room for us to hide, so open your card then come inside." When I got in, a lot of my family was in the nursery, and it was finished! They painted it, complete with murals, curtains, cribs, etc. It turned out great. They even drew a tree with two boys sitting under it, and an angel above watching over them, and told me it was Mariam watching the boys. It's gorgeous! I'm on Home Uterine Activity Monitoring (HUAM) now, as well as home monitoring of blood pressure, urine, weight, etc. This afternoon the monitor showed 4 contractions and lots of uterine irritability, so they told me to drink 64oz of water, lay down and try it again. It worked, the contractions stopped! I feel alot better being monitored so closely, but I really do not want to have to go back to St Louis. It was just so far from home, and I hated being away from home and away from my family. I'm 26 weeks 3 days, today, so we've reached the age of viability! Now if we can just keep these boys in a little while longer. |

Locally here there were sextuplets delivered by c- section at i think 28 wks, and they were all fine! -kim |

I hope you are able to take it easy and keep those babies cooking for awhile longer. When I got home, there was an envelope stuck to the nursery door, which was closed.
