Days 2 & 3

Visitors (2) Justin and Derrick
(3) My Mother, Hannah, Abby, Justin, and Laura

Welp I'm still here! :)

I'll start where I left off my 2pm monitoring session which was by far my easiest monitoring session ever!! The girls stayed on the monitor for the most part and were marginally easy to find. Oh how the let me believe they weren't going to continue to be trouble makers :)

They also during my 2pm monitoring session let me know when I would be getting put on the monitor during the day; 6am, 2pm and 10pm. I am not much of a fan of the 6am and the 10pm. But ultimately we are at the mercy of what the doctors think is appropriate.

After my 2pm session the rest of the the day was uneventful, although I will say this the girls are very unhappy about all these sensors being pushed upon them and they have now resorted to kicking anything that applies pressure on to them!! That includes daddy's hand :)

At our 10pm session the girls continued to look good! Still ever the trouble makers we got through it and it only lasted 1hr 45mins, this may sound like a long time but trust me last night was way worse!!  I barely got to bed at 12am and then was awoken at 6am again!! This is something that I am really going to have to get used to these short bursts of sleep!

They girls were especially terrible all day yesterday. During both the 6am and the 2pm I had to have the nurse on duty hold the sensor the entire session because baby b who they call spicy would not stay in one spot for more than a few minutes so they had to constantly be shifting it to keep her heart on the monitor.

My mom, Hannah and Abby all came during my 2pm session and were so excited to hear the little one's heart beats!! For Hannah and Abby it was their first time and it was really neat to see their faces light up!! After we were done we went exploring around the hospital and found the rooftop cafe and a couple of other locations! It was really nice just to get out and walk around, while I still can because I know in a few weeks I will just simply be too big to move around too much on my own! Then I will have to wheeled around :)

After we got back to my room Justin was already there!

The rest of the evening was uneventful until my 10pm session which thankfully the nurse that night decided to come at 9pm. It was by far my most trying time here at the hospital. I know I my sound whiny but this session lasted 2hr 30mins. Yikes. It was more than my body could not take just lying there still that long! I got super antsy and my back killed, not to mention my lovely children decided to compress my longs even more so breathing became very difficult. It seems that the girls have now decided to be right next to each other which makes it very difficult to get separate heartbeats!! So my evening ended with me being checked by ultrasound to make sure the girls were there! Which of course they were and were also doing just perfect. They just really love to make the doctors nervous!!

That's all for now! :)
