I am being optimistic and will be happy to announce that as of Wednesday January 9th I have made it to 24 weeks along in our pregnancy. It is a good milestone because it is the age of viability. When you are counting every day it's a big deal :) This means the babies have a 50% chance of survival, they would be hospitalized for a very long time and chances of adverse health conditions are very high. But at least they have a chance of surviving.Our next target goal will be 28 weeks where they have a 90% chance of surviving but would still have to be in NICU for quite awhile.
Next one will be 32 week and then after that hey why not make it to full term for twins which is 36 weeks :) Actually mine and the doctors goal is just to get me to 32 weeks (March- which is only 8 weeks away!!) and anything after that will just be bonus.
My body has actually felt much better since I have been on bedrest which is good.
I don't think I can count how many time people ask me what I do all day and if I am bored. I have already been on bedrest 3 weeks (since Dec. 13th) and it hasn't been too bad. Most of you probably remember I have done this before with Lizzie. I read a lot, catch up on our photo album , do some church indexing, etc. They kids are usually with me from about 3 oclock on (with a family member here of course) every day which is so nice. They are great company and make the time go by fast. Jim has been an incredibly patient, understanding and helpful husband despite all the roles he is try to do right now. We have also been very blessed with a lot of help from family and friends making it so much easier to get through this.
