Well we officially made it to our biggest milestone! 32 weeks! I'm pretty sure that no one thought we would make it this far, but we did. By 32 weeks, the babies are now fully developed. They just have some more growing to do, but my belly isn't going to be able to accommodate that for much longer. Trying to get in and out of bed is quite the chore. My belly is huge! Dr. Stoessel has officially taken me off of the magnesium around 10:15am. For those of you who don't know, the magnesium is given intravenously to keep contractions away. I still have contractions non-stop regardless, but I don't feel any of them so they haven't been a worry. Most people are only on magnesium for 24-48 hours, but it has been almost 9 weeks for me! If my body cooperates once the magnesium is out of my system, Dr. S may let me go home! Yay! Please pray that everything works out. I'm so ready to go home. Also, if I get to go home, I will now be able to have the babies at Tradition. This would be so much closer and convenient for us while the babies are in the NICU for a while.
So, that's about all of my news for today. Michael and I have moved our date night from last night to tonight just so he can be here if something does happen and we have to deliver the babies. It's pretty much just a waiting game at this point. I will be sure to keep everyone updated. Thanks again for all your prayers and kind words! We are finally in the home stretch! Thank goodness!
