David and I had a nice, long meeting with our specialist today. Not only did we discover what a nice lady she was, but also reconnected with our friend, Debbie. Debbie is the bereavement nurse at Clarian North that took such good care of use while we were going through our trauma of losing Claire and Gracie.
Before we get into the details of the meeting, I know you're excited about seeing those beautiful babies. Today we got to hear their heartbeats and watch them "dance" all over the place. Baby A (Zeus) was a little more active than Baby B (Apollo), but both seemed to be having a great time.
David and I came to the meeting with many questions... after many months of researching the web for anything and everything to do with preterm labor, we were ready. Dr. Abernathy sat with us for over an hour explaining and discussing each item. David and I were very impressed with the way she treated us and made us feel comfortable. We still have some decisions to make regarding our care, but overall we think we know were we're going...
The biggest shocker came with the news that Dr. Abernathy believes I'll be hospital bound sooner than later. She told me that I should prepare myself, work, home, etc. with the possibility that I could be "gone" as soon as November 1. Our mouths dropped... but we'll do whatever we have to do!
We'll post more later, but for now, I'm worn out after the day we've had.

those babies are sooooo cute! i love how you can see their little arms and legs. the ultrasounds are so clear. wow, i can't believe they said you may be hospital bound that early. that will be tough, but well worth it and probably help you feel a little more at ease.
Good words.
