We made it home!!

Well, after I wrote that blog this morning Dr. Nett came in to check on me. I lost it right when she came in and told her that I didn't want to deliver the boys today or tomorrow and she said I wouldn't deliver and then I told her I just wanted to go home and she said that she would send me home! *She's Great!* She checked me and I was still 4cm dilated and I was now 75% effaced and was at a 0 (meaning at 3 Michael's head is crowned and ready - yesterday I was a -1). It looks like the boys will be coming soon, but she still let me go home on modified bed rest. I got another steroid injection today and it should take 24 hours to do its work on the boys. By the hospital's calculations (due to leap year) I am 34 weeks tomorrow, so after tomorrow if I go in to the hospital there is no turning back.

At least I can get home, and Mike is going to clean some and our Small Group is going to come and deep clean for me. So that will be nice. She won't let me go shopping so when we go to the doctor on Wednesday will be my only opt. to get the nursing bra and books.

I was told to go to the hospital if my water broke, if I am bleeding significantly, or if my contractions are stronger. Hopefully these boys will hold of a few more days at least.

Thanks for your prayers - please keep praying for us and the boys. That the boys will develop accordingly, that Mike and I will feel prepared, and that Mike will not be overwhelmed - he has ALOT of school work to do and is beginning to feel overloaded - trying to find time for school and taking care of his family at the same time.
