I'm back!

Thanks to my wonderful hubby for updating for me the past few days!! But now I have decided to pull out the computer and return to the land of technology. I have been doing lots of cross-stiching and watching terrible TV. I never knew how much I would miss HGTV and the Food Network. I will definitely not say that being in the hospital is the best part of this pregnancy, but I do have people brining me food and waiting on me. So, I cant complain too much, right?!?

Now for some updates...Alan posted about my contractions yesterday morning. They gave me another shot to stop them, which worked great. At that point they decided that since the tributelene shots were working so well, they would go ahead and put me on the tributelene pump. That means that I would get a small dose of the medicine throughout the day, instead of large doses to stop the contractions. The nurse came yesterday afternoon to "install" the pump. I don't really know how else to say that, but basically its just a needle in my leg that attaches to a cell-phone-like pump that regulates the meds. Its not as bad as it sounds, I promise! And the good news is that I haven't had a contraction since early yesterday morning!! WOO HOO!! I also saw the specialist again yesterday afternoon, and they were very pleased with how I am responding to the new regiment and the babies look great.

SOOOOO, all good news to report. We are doing well - just adjusting to life in the hospital. Will keep you posted if anything changes!
