Update from last doctor's visit (32 weeks) - in the hospital

Went to the doctors yesterday and the boys are growing. The identicals are 3lbs9oz and 4lbs7oz (This is the only time we have seen a change in the weights. The docs did not seem too concerned. I guess it is pretty common with multiples). The fraternal is 4lbs5oz. Heartbeats are strong and it is extremely cramped in there. No protein or sugar in the urine.

However, when my cervix was checked, I basically had none and the doctor thought I may be dilating. Scary. Was checked into the hospital yesterday and put on a med that would slow down the contractions (no mag sulfate). It seems to be working because the nurses said it looked like I was in labor yesterday and now I am seeing about 1-2 contractions/hour. Good news so far. Received my 2 steroid shots and now I am just going 1 day at a time.

Hopefully we make it as close to 35.5 weeks as we can. We'll see, it is out of my hands now.

Wish us luck
