It seems like ages since I've been here. I got Nelly's text last week and it was great to get as it was a reminder you havent forgotten about me! (not to mention it came at just the right time)
Long story short. We had early contractions a few weeks ago. Was admitted to hospital as Twins and my Graves Disease puts me at risk of having a pre-term baby. Got some steroid shots and relaxants to stop the contractions. Had to stay for 48hrs. After that they found that I had a shortening cervix (maybe from the contractions) so I had to stay another 3 days. Was discharged last week and have been on bed rest at home with progesterone pessaries to strengthen my uterous.
I dont think my body is designed for Twins! LOL but we are doing well. They are both a great weight and coz they are girls they will do well if they were to be delivered early. (girls do better than boys) Each baby is the size of a single baby at this gestational age so no wonder they are giving my uterous a run for her money!!!!
Its SO hard to be on bed rest. Absolutely boring. I went from working my A@#se off before this happened and now BANG i have to rest. Suppose its a good thing.
I gotta admit i havent been feeling *connected* to this preganancy as I've just been so busy but now I have time to navel gaze. (literally)
tara - I had a weep too about Kerryn's death. Such a strong woman.
Kim - sounds like things are moving for you! We are trying to hold the babies in for another 8-10 weeks!
Ella is all grown up. She has been really affected by me being in hospital. She has become very dependant on her dummy and needs it all the time. She now wants to have the door open at night so she can hear us. Poor sausage. Still she knows why I'm resting. She comes home from CC and comes over and kisses my tummy (mummy's double babies).
