A better day

I felt better today. It was pretty much uneventful. I didn't blog yesterday mostly because I didn't have much new to report. I did have to have another Terbutaline shot yesterday afternoon to control my out of control contractions. When I talked to my doctor about it today, she said if I continue to need the shot every day, she will increase my Procardia pill to twice a day. Good news is I didn't need to have one today.

My 3 hour glucose test is going to be Thursday morning. Between now and then, I have to change my diet a bit to eating mainly just carbs. My nurses and dietitian don't understand this, but I am just trusting that my doctor knows what she is doing. I think she is trying to see just how my body processes different types of sugars. Thursday is going to be a busy day. I also have another doctor appointment Thursday morning to check the babies and everything. I am anxiously waiting for that appointment.

In the next day or so, I am getting one of those trapeze things put over my bed to help me get in and out of bed. I am looking forward to this as it is so hard to get out of these beds a hundred times a day to use the restroom.

My doctors decided not to do anymore FFN tests on me because they said even if I pass it, I will not be going home. At first I wanted to have it done in hopes that I would pass it and have more peace of mind that the babies will not be born in the next 2 weeks, but if I fail it again, it will just cause me to worry more. And since the test is only 40% (roughly) accurate if positive, we agreed with the doctors not to do it.

These are just some pictures of me and my favorite day nurse (so far) and a picture of how many monitors it takes to monitor all these babies and contractions simultaneously.
