Ben showed up last night about 8. It was so nice to see him!! We didn't really do a whole lot except for catch up on what's been going on in Santa Fe, Oliver's appointment, etc. We got to bed at a decent time since my nurse came in fairly early - that was a nice change. They sometimes come in after 10 and I'm usually in bed before then... just another interruption during the night.
My morning nurse came in about 7 this morning and I was awake waiting for her. She did the NST and the babies look great. Baby B had hiccups the entire time so it sounded pretty funny. :) My blood pressure continues to stay low so there aren't any current signs of pre-eclampsia. The NST test showed that I was having constant contractions but they aren't powerful enough to dilate my cervix even more (still uncomfortable though). The sonographer came to do the BPP and all three of the babies were breathing and looked fantastic.
Dr. H. came in this morning to see me and she said that she still thought it could be weeks before I go into labor (3 cm dilated). She can tell that I'm extremely uncomfortable and said that she can fix that (by delivering them) but doesn't want to jump the gun until the babies are ready to come out. She didn't do another cervix check today. They won't do another one until my contractions become painful - which means that the cervix would be dilating.
Ben and I were pretty lazy today. We ate lunch together and then both decided to take a nap. We slept about 2 hours. It must have been our wild game of Life before lunch that wore us out. Ben bought it at Target and we had fun playing the game. I didn't do as well as him. He retired with $1.2 million while I only retired with $45,000 (which was only b/c the bank forgave the interest on my loans). It's a fun game.
Tonight we're taking it easy and watching a movie. :) Perhaps a Frosty from Wendy's too. :) Thank you for your continued prayers and support. We are so grateful for each of you.
