Go Home!

8 minute apart contractions + 1 centimeter dilation = go the hell home

Despite Julie's best efforts to get unpregnant today, her mean old doctor sent her home from the hospital. So what you see in the picture below is not a woman getting ready to have a baby, but a woman sent to labor at home with a prescription of getting lots of rest and drinking lots of water. Sound advice if you have a cold, but not that great for this weary trooper who is being awoken by contractions at all hours of the night and who already spends half her day peeing.

It was an interesting trip back to the parking garage as every nurse, doctor and custodian had something to say along the lines of "you're headed the wrong way" or "see you soon!"

My water better not #$%! break on the way home.

Turkey's Done

As Julie likes to say, "this turkey is done." We're at 35 weeks now, a number we never guessed we would see. The way Julie has been feeling, she claims the babies are coming in the next few days. I guess we'll know soon enough. To all of you family members out there that we won't be able to visit with on Thursday: Happy Thanksgiving!

Julie Is Home!

It was a small but effective protest.



Welcome home, Julie!

Twin Watch - Update

As of right now, Julie is still in the intensive care unit but she's no longer on any medication or even an IV. There's been no increase in the frequency or strength of her contractions. After four days confined to a hospital bed, the boredom has set in, but I'm sure she considers it a small price to pay for the hope of healthy babies.

Hospitalized

Looks like Julie is going to spend the next couple of weeks in the hospital (unless the babies come first). Jameson and Dad miss her already. The really scary part is that Dad is in charge now...

We went for a visit today. Jameson was a little bothered by Momma's "boo-boos." He got over it though and I'm sure Julie was glad to have the distraction. A few hours in the hospital is boring to me... I don't know how Julie is going to handle several days. She has her cell phone if you want to call her and hopefully she'll have internet access by tomorrow so she can use her email and update her blog.
