I am Alive.
Hello everyone. First off thank you Liz for posting an update. Here is the story of my last week and a half of life. Liz filled you in up to Friday, so I will go from there. The contractions finally stopped late Friday. They had me going on two different medications to stop those. Then they monitored me all weekend and things were going good. Monday morning they did an ultrasound and and NST (Non-stress test) and things were looking pretty good. I am still dialated to a 1, so my doctor released me to go to Bountiful, but I am on strict bed rest. That means I can get up to go to the bathroom, eat my meals and to shower. Other than that I am confined to bed. Let me tell, after only one week I am completely sick of bed rest. I am reading lots of books, crocheting around baby blankets and watching a lot of TV. I have to make it another 4-5 weeks at least, but more would be better. It is sure going to be a long summer. Matt and the girls are here in Bountiful on the weekends and they have been going back to Rexburg during the week. Matt still has to keep his job and he is trying to save up his sick and vacation days. Matt's mom and dad are so wonderful to take care of me and help us out. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family. I will try to post as often as I can, but my laptops internet isn't working correctly. Matt needs to fix that slight problem for me. So long for now.

I am glad that all is well and you aren't stuck in the hospital and the babies are fine and relaxing too :) If you are up to visitors, I'd love to come by. It would be worth getting a sitter. If your girls would like to come play sometime, we'd love to have them.let me know! Take care! 633-5198
I'm so glad that all is well. I was a little worried when I didn't see a post in a while. I'm sorry that you have to sit in bed for so long. When ever you think you going to go insane, just tell yourself that you will miss it after the boys come. I have to tell myself that often when I'm up rocking Olivia back to sleep in the middle of the night. Have you ever heard that country song by Trace Adkins "You're gonna miss this" ? It's my new motto to get me through alot of days and nights. I sure wish I was around to help you out. Hey, do you have names picked out yet? If you do, will you let me know what they are? Talk to you later.

So good to hear from you. We've been wondering how you are doing. Hang in there. We will be praying for you.
Good luck. Keep up the posts. I have a list of great books if you want some ideas.

Hang in there. Enjoy the bed rest...although you can't be too comfortable having to sit and lie down all day when your so pregnant. Hope you get internet soon. Keep us posted.
