26 weeks

We have made it to 26 weeks. There was a little confusion with how far along we are - each Dr. had a different date. So, we are going with the most conservative which puts us at 26 weeks tomorrow. They have decided to keep me in the hospital for now. We are going to take it week by week. They will check me weekly and decide if I can go home or need to stay. We had a growth scan yesterday and the babies look really good. The boy is measuring 2lbs 9oz and the girls are measuring 1lb 12oz and 1lb 13oz.

I was feeling a little down wearing the same clothes everyday - baggy pants and Kevin's XXL t-shirts so I splurged and ordered some cute maternity loungewear from Old Navy. I'm hoping that makes it a little easier to be in bed all day long. I am only allowed to get up to go to the bathroom but I try to sneak out at least once a day to walk to the kitchen area in the hospital to get some water.

Kevin is keeping me well stocked with snacks but has threatened to cut me off from the Sour Patch Kids. What will I do without them?

Yo... What's up with these kids?? Don't they understand they have to chill-out for another couple months. I know my children never anticipated any events. They wer totally under control. Relax it will rub off... eventually and hopefully.
