I'm at the hotel. We've been here since about 11 eastern. We had a small lunch of soup and some cheese. It was just enough. I took a shower and my incision site was sore from the rough car ride. I had to hold my belly the entire time. :( And drying off my epidrual site hurt too! I napped from about noon to 3p, snoring making it hard for my mom to work from the hotel. I guess she had a phone call with her boss and I was snoring so loud he could hear it lol I woke up and talked to Tim and Ethan though. Ethan's having a hard time without momma. He's been crying pretty much non stop for Tim, but with Xavier there to play with him it's a little easier. He loves his Bubba. My aunt Cathy is going to get E tomorrow though for a while while Tim works. Take some pressure off of Tim and Lori, Tim's mom. I am sore from being in this bed already and was put on STRICT bedrest. I am allowed out of bed to go to the rest room, shower once a day, and eat one meal at the table. I have to take the rest of my meals in bed and spend the rest of my days alternating sides to lay on..... until delivery. I'm only almost 22 weeks and Dr. Lim said I would probably deliver before 32 weeks, which is August 14. Ethan turns one on August 21st. So we will most likely have three boys under 1. how crazy!
Well I just took my pracardia or whatever and I feel like I'm running a marathon with hot flashes and my heartburn is in my mouth from laying down so I will say goodbye for now!
our struggles and triumphs to find the simple path to special needs parenting.

I just had my 6am ultrasound after a night of waking up every 2 hours to pee, take meds, and get vitals. Gabriel this morning has a heart rate of 137 and a visable bladder. His pocket of fluid went from 0.50 yesterday to 2.4cm this morning! He was bouncing around and flipped from breech to head down at about 4am this morning. I felt a huge lump pushing out of my bully and sure enough it was him flippin' over! Gavin's pocket is now down to 6.3cm from 12.8cm and his heart rate is 157. We measured my cervix and its 3.87cm at the shortest so a little change from the cramping but I had no major contractions during the night. My back is still KILLING me and so is my incision site because the tech was just pushing all over it with the wand. Gavin and Gabe might have switched their "baby a" and "baby b" titles though. now that Gabe is head down is a little closer to the cervix.
So we survived the night. We have yet to speak to either of the doctors, so I just ordered breakfast for me and my mom. During my ultrasound I hit my IV against the rail of the bed trying to adjust and backed blood up into it. I cannot WAIT until they take this thing out. We should get discharged between 10a and 11a they said then we will go back to the hotel and hope the babies hang on another 5 days until our follow up on June 5th!
I'll keep you guys posted on movements and how my strict bedrest adventure in the hotel with my mom is going. I am going to be so stiff and out of shape once these babies get here.
Ready for Tim to wake up so I can tell him and Ethan :) Even if Ethan cannot understand yet.
