Back to work!

Got the okay to go back to work tomorrow. My OB pretty much said that these contractions will probably continue, will make all of us worried, we will need to keep an eye on them, but there is no reason to keep me holed up at home since my job is not straining.

My ute has been calmer than it was when we went to L&D on Sunday, but still about the same as it was when I initially went in last week. But, the babies have been WAY more active as well, I am assuming that all goes hand-in-hand.

I am definitely feeling better than I was yesterday, more hopeful and am realizing that every day these two stay in is one to celebrate. Right now my goal is 24 weeks, when they will have a chance if the worst happens. Then 30 weeks, when my OB assures me that most babies born at that time have a smaller chance of long term effects. Anything after that will be a huge celebration! Still hoping to have to be induced at 38 weeks, but am more aware that may not happen, and that we can get through it if it doesn't.

Thanks for the reassuring thoughts yesterday:)
