So, we had another dr's appointment today. Everything is still looking good. We've made it to 33 weeks. That's 3 wks since the dr. originally had me admitted into the hospital. What a relief to not have had to be there this entire time. I'm now measuring 41 weeks and feel HUGE. I can hardly move anymore, let alone breathe. I'm relieved that the babies are still doing well and staying put.
The disconcerting part - the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit- where preemies go) here is full. Apparently they sent a lady with twins to Toronto today. AAAHHH! I don't want to fly to Toronto (or Vancouver, according to the dr.). So I CAN'T have these babies yet. And I guess we just pray and hope that whenever these babies do decide to come, that there is room in there for them. Now I'm kind of worrying but I keep just telling myself that God is taking care of us. He's gotten us this far. Plus - If we are really lucky, I'll last 3 more weeks and they won't necessarily need the NICU anyway. Wouldn't that be incredible. :)
So - I came home and napped on the couch and haven't done a thing since. He really scared me with that news! So, we are asking for prayers that the babies come when there is room for them in the NICU here!

BUT if worse comes to worse, you will know that you have to do what has to be done. Thinking of you all. Laura
I almost got flown to Vancouver but my doc was insistent that I stayed here to have the boys. I hope space frees up so you don't have to travel anywhere. There's no place like home.
We think of you guys often and pray that everything happens as it should.

We will ask for prayers in our congregation (Saskatoon)on your behalf as time gets closer. May God continue to take care of all of you.
