My baby shower I had a wonderful day, things got started a little late people didn't start really coming until about 3:30 (it started at 2:00) With me being on bedrest it was so exciting to have people actually come over and see me, especially people I haven't seen in awhile. My family from Youngstown came which was great. I got lots of stuff, and actually lots of stuff I needed and wanted, I only have a few more things to buy. I got over 1000 diapers which is so great, I will definitely need them. The games and food just everything turned out fantastic I coudn't ask for a better day. Thank you to everyone who made it and thank you for everything you gave my girls are definitely blessed.

my hospital visits
sorry a little late, but here is what happened...On Saturday starting about 6pm, I was having painful menstral like cramps, nothing timeable so I didn't think anything about it, when Kevin came home at 9pm I told him about it and he told me if I'm worried about call, I didn't and he had a show to do that night, and when he came home at 2am I was still in pain and he made me call and I was told to come in for montoring I got there around 3am and I was having irregular contractions but wasn't dialating they gave me a shot of breathine and they stopped the contractions and I was allowed to go home at 5am.
Around 4pm that same day I started having really painful timeable contractions and ended up going back, they monitored me, had me drink 64 ounces of water and I took a pill (procardia) to try to stop the contractions, it didn't work, the monitoring continued until 10:30 and they wanted to admit me but I convinced them not to because I wasn't dialating. I was having them still consistently until my appointment on Wednesday but still was not dialated, he prescibed me breathine and I am taking it every 4 hours and it is helping. I go back next Wednesday and I will have another ultrasound week after.

26 week appointment
I had my ultrasound for growth on the girls today, they are:
Baby A- heartrate 142BPM 2lb. 1oz.
Baby B- heartrate 160BPM 2lb. 4oz.
I went in last week because of severe pelvic pain, and it has gotten worse over the past week it hurts to do everything, lay, sit, walk, drive you name it. So starting today I am officially on bedrest I have to be off my feet 70-80% of the day, no preterm labor, and that is what he is trying to prevent. My belly is measuring that of a normal pregnant woman who is 41 weeks, so I am HUGE!! but...its all baby because I've lost 1.5lbs and have only gained 14lbs so far. My baby shower is next week and I am going to get the girls dresser this week its on sale. I will probably update more that I'm on bedrest I'll be bored :)
