Status Quo

At my doctors appointment today we learned that my condition has remained the same! This is great news because it means that Baby Boy Hallows won't be making an appearance terribly soon. My doctor really wants me to get to 32 weeks (one and a half weeks from now) because at that point the only problems he would have are breathing and feeding...I know, still sounds grim but compared to brain damage I'll take it. Ideally baby and I will make it to 34 weeks + where the scenario would be much more pleasant and with fewer possible complications.
My AMAZING sister-in-law Lauren has been staying with us for about a week and a half now and has meant the world to us. She is currently scouring the entire house (while I blog) and plans to return home to her hubs tomorrow night. Did I mention she is 33 weeks preg herself! Having Lauren here has made all the difference. I am able to be up and take care of the girls for a couple hours a day, mostly in the morning, but by afternoon and evening the contractions get stronger and I am back to bed. I also have medication that I can take to stop the contractions, which I have been taking one or two times a day. When I get to 34 weeks my doctor wants me to stop taking the medication and let the baby come as it is also risky to take these pills for too long. So that means he might be here sometime before my 28th birthday! Can I put a healthy baby boy at the top of my wish list?

Here are some photos taken by the talented Jenna. I was so happy to get these done before baby makes his debut.
