Hospital Bed Rest - One Week! Plus ultrasound update

Well, I made it through the week!  Things have settled down immensely, and so I am into my routine and just chilling most of the time. It was nice having my parents hang out yesterday. My bro-in-law and his wife brought me Chinese food for my first non-hospital food meal. It was delicious!!!  At this point, the novelty of hospital food has worn off. Breakfast is good and lunch is okay, but I am really not into the dinners.  Still, I eat them just to keep these babies happy and growing strong!

Today DH arrives back I'm town. I may have mentioned that he was sleeping on his brother's floor but he is now on the wait list for the hospital subsidized housing for parents/families with preemies or kids in the hospital. We are planning to watch the NICU video today as part of our preparation in case they do come early.

As for me and the babies, I still have not met with the OB, but every day a family doctor checks in with me and she gave me some updates.  I was told that Baby A does not have placenta previa and that the placenta is now on the side of the uterine wall, right where it should be.  But the doctor came back later saying she spoke to my OB and she is not convinced that I do not have previa. So they want to do another ultrasound (thus time internal) later this week.  Baby B's placenta is up higher on the other side of my uterus so no problems there.  My cervix is shortened a bit to 3.5 and has just started to funnel. They didn't check internally again but since it was open last week, I am still to be on bed rest to keep as much pressure off it as possible. The other good thing is the babies growth!  I may be off by an once or two, but I think she said Baby A is now 2lb,10oz (up from 2,5 last week) and baby B is now 3,2 (up from 2,13). They are both well within normal range and not too different from one another.  She mentioned something about percentiles but I forget what she said. Hopefully they keep up this good weight gain for the next few weeks!

And, here is a shot of my sweet, sweet love, just arrived to take care of me.
