32 Weeks!! +++

Update for you all...We will do our best to keep this site updated with latest news. This is much easier for us and will not fill up your inbox with updates...

This morning Christy started having contractions 2-3 minutes apart around 3:30am. They slowed down to 5-7 minutes apart at 5am. They picked back up to 2-3 minutes apart from 5:30-7:30am. The doctor came in around 7:30am and did a fetal fibronectin test (will tell us if she will deliver within the next two weeks). The doc also checked Christy and she is still at 3cm. The fact that she has not dilated any further is good news. They gave her a shot of terbutaline (to stop contractions and also make the three hearts race). The contractions have slowed/stopped.

They have given her the second shot of steroids for the babies lung development and they put her back on IV antibiotics and fluids.

Sum of it all: The doctor said that Christy will be here from 3-4 days up to 34 weeks. All of us are healthy.

Prayer Request: Please pray that Jackson will be able to adjust to this crazy schedule. We know he is resilient as he has been in the past, but the hospital visits freak him out a little. Also, pray for Christy and the babies. She needs rest.

Stay tuned...
