29 weeks and getting BIG!

  Last week, at my 28 week appointment, I had a little scare.  To my surprise, my doctor noticed I was having some preterm contractions and sent me to the hospital to get monitored.  Fortunately, after they gave me some IV fluids, they stopped and we were sent home!  That experience definitely made me appreciate being on modified bed rest at home rather then in the hospital.  Needless to say, I've been drinking TONS of water and am still taking it easy.
  I was supposed to go to Greensboro for my family baby shower this past weekend, but because of that scare, my doctors don't want me traveling for the rest of my pregnancy.  So my family all came to Wilmington and brought the party to me, which was awesome!  My sister drove down from Atlanta and my Aunt Val came all the way up from FL.  It really meant a lot to Matt and I to have everyone here!  We were showered with so many wonderful gifts for Jude and Chloe, we are so grateful for all the generosity we have received from family and friends!  These bambinos are already spoiled and they aren't even here yet!
  I went to the doctors yesterday for my 29 week appointment and my cervix continues to be stable.  So I got a good review from my high risk doctor.  She basically told me that since my cervix hasn't gotten any shorter and has been consistent for the past 6 weeks, that next week will most likely be the last time I will need to get it checked.  She believes this is just a normal cervix range for my body with carrying twins.  She still wants me to take it easy, at least until 32 weeks, and then she feels comfortable giving me some freedom to do a little more activity.  I feel like 32 weeks is right around the corner, so I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!   The babies are still super busy letting me know they are there all day long!  Next week they will do all the baby measurements, weight, etc...so excited to see how much they have grown in a month!

Love,
Emily
