    I'm here. I'm good. 33w4d. Nothing new to report, really. I have now been in the hospital on bed rest for 11 days.

    They monitor my blood pressure every 4 hours and it is continuing to creep up a bit (130s & 140s / 80s) but still within normal limits. They do a 24 hour urine screen once a week and it went up a little bot this week (from 475 to 600). And I do 2 NSTs per day. So, we just continue to wait and see what happens. I am now down 19.5 lbs which I assume is all fluid. (that's crazy)

    This week, they will do another 24 hour urine screen on Tuesday and blood work and a growth ultrasound on Wednesday (34 weeks) to make sure everything is looking good before the holiday but I would expect we'll continue to hang in there.

    I am hoping for 36 weeks, but one of my favorite nurses thinks signs are pointing to 35 weeks. I really wish my OB would give me a hard goal and a cut-off date, but she won't. I feel like I need something to work towards. And I'd really like to know what it is that will push them to make the decision to deliver early.

    But for now, here I sit.

    I've been thinking about you too, you are doing so great! Hang in there, I can't imagine how hard it must be to be in the hospital, not knowing for how long.... but every single day you stay will mean so much for those beautiful little girls.

    Keep up the great work, you are doing awesome!!!!
