So what have I been up to since I came home from the hospital at 29.5 weeks? Besides praising and thanking God for each day with these babies not having to be in the NICU, I basically have done the exact same thing although I get to see my husband a lot more, sleep in my own bed, lay on the couch sometimes, breathe fresh air and see outside, have regular visits with my dog (who is staying at my parents house), and be free of all monitors and cords! I have also had 3 baby showers which were a lot of fun (two at my house and one that I traveled to). My only weekly outing that is allowed is my trip to the doctor for a check-up and occasionally we will sneak in a drive through Starbucks on the way home. It is weird to think that we have gone from summer to fall and I have not stepped foot in any restaurant or store since before August 9th!
I can't say thanks enough to my wonderful husband who has become my personal nurse since I have been home. Aside from working all day at his job (since I abruptly had to quit working), he takes care of me and the house! He is the best and I can't thank him enough for all he has done for me and our babies. Not to mention he drove back and forth from the hospital every day for 8 weeks and has provided endless encouragement when I didn't think I could do this one more day!
So what exactly do I do all day?? Not a whole lot! I have watched TV, movies, read/listened to podcasts/books/magazines/music, took up knitting for a short stint, written thank-you notes, read through an awesome devotional, worked on Bible study, worked on puzzle books, played on the computer, shopped online, talked on the phone, and took many naps!
And finally, the latest report on the babies is that they are looking great as always and measured 4#5 ounces and 4# two weeks ago. We are now looking forward to our next weigh in which will be on Monday at 34.2 weeks.
