Twins Update

December 18, 2007

Julie was having a lot of contractions last night when I got home from work. So she settled into the recliner and began counting and timing. They were coming pretty regularly and she was having constant lower back pain so after about 3 hours, she called her mom and dad to tell them she thought it was time. They were coming up to stay with our kids while we went to the hospital. I ran around and got everything ready to go and while we waited for her parents to come, everything started to slow down. We decided to go in anyway, thinking they may start up again at any time. They didn’t. At least not with any real frequency again. So after monitoring Julie for a couple of hours, they just sent us home. Oh, that’s hard to get your hopes up, get excited, and then just go home to wait some more. But both babies were doing great. Julie was dilated to a 4+ and 70% effaced. So it’s getting closer…
