30 weeks

I made it to our first goal -30 weeks. w00t!

This past week in the hospital has been really difficult, I'm not gonna lie. But, knowing the chances these two have now because of making it to 30 weeks is worth it. Though, I'm not sure if I will say that 2 weeks from now:) j/k

One positive thing about strict bed rest is that I am no longer in as much pain. My hips/joints were really bothering me the past month and I could barely sleep. Now, since I don't physically do anything, all the pains have dissipated. But one thing that is starting to hurt a bit is baby movement. They are getting so big now (yay!) that when they move it hurts on the inside. I can now understand when you hear stories of babies breaking their mom's ribs b/c these two are strong!

I even think that some of the contractions are brought on by the babies moving. I can feel the girl push really hard and then my ute contracts, which I guess are more Braxton Hicks contractions than the real ones. The scary painful ones. Thankfully those haven't come back.

Anyway, I think the highlight of my day today is going to be a visit from our dogs. We have devised a plan where Greg brings the dogs in the car and I get wheeled out to the front of the hospital so I can see them for a little bit. It won't be enough to fill the void I am feeling w/o having them, but it will be enough to tide me over for a bit. We are also trying to set up an actual visit for Duncan, but Fiona can't come. They require vaccination records and since Fiona is allergic to most vaccines she hasn't gotten them, and won't be let in:( But at least I can see them for a little bit outside.
