Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Even though I am in the hospital I still have so much to be thankful for this holiday! I am so thankful for all of my family and friends who have been so great during this trying time. If it weren't for all of you I really would need a straight jacket in here!!! I am also so thankful that our little twin girls are still in there growing big and strong. We are excited to meet them but it is still just too soon. Last night I was beginning to wonder if they were going to make their appearance on Turkey Day. I had a ton of contractions last night in the night. At first the shots weren't even helping. After one of the shots I had 9 contractions one right after the other so I got another shot. I was one shot away from having to go back on the magnesium iv (YUCKY!!!) when the contractions finally calmed. Today I was not allowed to sit up in bed except to eat. Other than eating and trips to the bathroom I had to lay completely flat. It seemed to help the contractions. I still had a lot of them but not enough close together to require me to get a shot during the day. Oh yeah, I lost my showering privileges until we get these contractions calmed a little too. Maybe I can get a quick shower tomorrow!

Jason & Mallory and Jason's mom and dad came to spend the evening in my room tonight. They had a busy day at our house. They worked on the nursery furniture. Yeah the cribs are both put together! They also got Mallory's new dresser moved into her room. She really has a big girl room now! Before they came up to the hospital they put the Christmas tree up. When they left tonight they were going to go home to put the decorations on it. I always enjoy putting the tree up so I am glad that Mallory gets to do it this year even if I couldn't be there to help.

I also wanted to give a special thanks to both Sheli and Vonda who took time away from their families to come and see me today. It really meant a lot! (Sheli, it really meant a lot that you brought a piece of pie that YOU MADE!!!)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! We all have so much to be thankful for!
