Need I say more, really?
I've been banished to bed by my perinatologist after my routine 32 week ultrasound on Wednesday revealed that my cervix has shortened - I know, too much information. I'm hoping this "prescription" will change after my OB appointment today. I'll have an FFN test done to determine the chances that I'll go into labor in the next 10 days, and get more of an explanation about how strict this bedrest should be. Cross your fingers for us!
I keep thinking this would be so much easier, and really a plus if we didn't have two cute little girls to take care of. I feel terrible not being able to take care of them during the day, and am indebted to everyone stepping up to help!! Thanks Pat, Amy and Sara! And, thanks to Sara and Tim for the use of their laptop, without which I would not be able to bring you all this fun news!
On a happier note, the babies are still growing right on track. Baby B weighs 3 pounds, 15 ounces and Baby A weighs 3 pounds, 13 ounces. So, I have nearly the amount of actual baby weight that I did at 40 weeks with each of the girls. Sadly, no cute ultrasound pictures to share. This late in the pregnancy, everything is so squished that they can't get good pictures. Oh well. I think we can wait a few weeks (hopefully!) to see them.

Oh my! I am sorry to hear about the bedrest Shawna. You are right, it sounds relaxing if you didn't already have two other kids :) Hopefully you will be on "light bedrest" or whatever they call it. That is great that the twins are doing great. Can't wait for them to arrive.
Love,
Marne
Don't be shy, give us a holler if you need anything! I have some short days this week, I'll let you know when and Tommy could pay the girls a visit or they can come over our house too!
Hi! This is Sara's friend, Moriah, from NY. I hope you dont mind, but I have been following your blog too, as there is a link from Sara's blog to yours. Following your twin pregnancy has been fun. Hope everything works out for everyone and that your bedrest is is more restful than stressful! Good luck with everything!
Shawna - sorry to hear about the bedrest! Sara and I were just talking about how you and I might end up delivering around the same time (I'm due 3/4). Hopefully we will both last a several more weeks as my maternity leave started today so I am hoping to take advantage of that as much as possible. I'll be thinking about you! :) Heather
Sorry to hear about the bedrest Shawna!
