As Justin informed you all, I was able to come home and do my bedrest here. My dr. managed to drag it out for four days but finally I am out. I feel ok. Never comfortable obviously and oh so huge!! It's a good thing I'm on bedrest because I can't really carry this belly around anymore anyway. The babies are very active and I enjoy feeling them move. They are so tightly in there though that sometimes it kind of hurts.
My mom came for the past two days and kept Caden. They spent most of the day up in my room with me which was really nice. I had company and got to see Caden for more than an hour and a half. He seems to be handling everything pretty well but I sure miss the 'normal' things. The visits in the hospital are not exactly mother/son moments, you know? So, last night I got to give him a hug and a kiss goodnight. Today I'll see him when he comes home at lunch. It's SO MUCH better. My bed is more comfortable and it's so much cooler in here. I was overheated most of the time in the hospital which is the WORST.

We had a tour of the Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit where the babies will end up- unless we make it to 35 or 36 wks, which my doctor assures me, we wont. It was nice to get a visual of what to expect. The babies in there are so tiny. There was one little 3 pounder - wow. Our guys are already bigger than that, which is somewhat reassuring. The neo natalogist filled us in on what all the machines are for and the things that they are most concerned about with preemie's. I really appreciated all the information. I just hope we hold out long enough that they don't need to be in there too long.
I guess that's the update for now. Now I'll just be sitting on my couch :). I've got a good book so I'll go read that.

Now you behave yourself and stay in bed! I know how tough it is being on bed rest. You will get through it though and won't even rememmber how boring it was once the babies are here. YOu will be wishing you were still on it soon after the babies come LOL.
Take care,
