"See food"

Hi! Yes, I am still here. Check out the view from my resort window --> Day 5 and still sane. We'll see if when I add a 0 to that 5, I can still say the same! I woke up this morning and got whisked away to the 2nd floor for my weekly ultrasound. All looks the same and I got to see one of my techs from EMFM (Evergreen maternal fetal medicine). No changes for the worse and Baby B has slightly more fluid than last week. The biggest fluid pocket they could find was 2.8 CM...last week was 2.4. The very lowest they want to see the amniotic fluid level is 2 CM, so she is still in the OK range. I did lose a little fluid (very little) yesterday morning, so started thinking maybe I would lose more from here on out, but so far, so good. Dr. Paek wasn't too concerned because she expects I will lose fluid continuously...that's why I am here after all! I have now been monitored enough that the nurses just come in and ask me where to put the sensors. The last couple of times the babies have been a little more cooperative....let's knock on wood! They are active little ladies and definitely get their share of movement in!

Yesterday Tom brought the kids to visit and they did great. We ordered dinner together and all ate piled around my bed. Of course as you can see, Morgan is very concerned with tooth decay prevention and gained quick access to my tooth brush, chair and sink....this kept her busy for quite a while. Hmmmm, maybe it's time for a new tooth brush for me!

mmmmm...dinner consisted of cheeseburgers, fries and look at Andrew's loose tooth!

Little miss dental conscious one!

"See food"...Andrew is still demonstrating his wiggly bottom tooth

When they arrived Morgan was sound asleep and Tom layed her next to me on my bed. I miss my little stinkers. They always look so sweet when they sleep :) The boys drew a couple of pictures to post on my wall and they brought me more pics to hang up. I have been collecting Dr. Seuss gear from Ebay for the babies' room so they also brought me my Grinch bookends that arrived in the mail the other day. It is looking a little more personalized in here :)

Left to right:

Andrew's version of my Alien abduction (which is funny because Dr. Paek told me today she is a resident Alien from Germany...it's true I HAVE been abducted by an alien!), Andrew's "Der mom, from Andrew" and portrait of us, "Look at the bright side you won't have to listen to M.O.R.G.A.N. Waaaaaaaa!" Tom's version of what I am missing at home~My daughter screaming!, Andrew's interpretation of the doctor taking a picture of the babies appropriately labled A&B and "bonking their heads" :) They are so entertaining! :)

To go along with my Dr. Seuss theme (which I chose in honor of "Thing 1 and Thing 2" from "The Cat in the Hat", ah, how clever, haha), I want quilts for the babies. I have a wonderful friend who loves to make baby quilts....Since I can't use my sewing machine at the moment, Yvonne has offered to make 2 quilt tops for my babies and then bring them to me to hand quilt. I had to get very creative with my Dr. Seuss theme since there isn't anyone who produces fabric anymore. I spent my last couple of weeks at home shopping on Ebay for fabric and hospital scrubs with Seuss prints on them. How appropriate is that? Using a hospital scrub to make quilts for my babies while the hospital is where I reside :) I am excited to see how they turn out....Yvonne is very talented! (I hope you are reading this and it makes you smile, or blush :) )

I guess being here is going to help me get my projects done...i have been told the next 18 years will be a lot busier with twins! He he...can't wait :)
