Hospital Bed Rest - Day #6

If you don't count Thursday evening when I checked into the hospital, this morning is the beginning of day #6 of hospital bed rest. It has been a very easy stay so far. I'm comforted by the monitoring (of the babies and of me), I have enjoyed visitors each day, and the nurses are pretty much awesome.

The main thing that is keeping me here is my low platelet count. Everything else is still right where it should be - the babies heartbeats, my blood pressure, contractions, etc. This has the twins specialist using the word "boring" in reference to my situation - he sees all kinds of crazy cases including the woman next door who has been here for 1 month already and is anticipating being here for 2 more (Aaron has made friends with her husband).

My OB is still talking about this Saturday for a delivery date, though nothing is officially on the books. Possibly just a few more days!!

So I imagine you've had time to catch up on Mad Men :) Thanks for the update and for posting a photo - I needed a visual.

Big week for babies! My girlfriend Kelly just delivered her baby girl last night in Chicago.

Glad to hear everything is still going well and can't wait for these two to be here already!
