Hotel Huntington Stay 2 Day 3

Saw the doctor today and got some test results.  Basically, they are worse than they were, but not so bad as that it's time to take the babies out.  We will rerun tests later next week.  Until then, bed rest, bed rest, bed rest.  Hey, I'm allowed to take showers and have 30 minutes outside.  That's a lot more than most of the ladies in this wing.  Right now the verdict is - hang out until 36 weeks, then meet with the specialists to make a decision.  That's right - 2 more weeks minimum.

I'm not bored, just restless and sad.  This wasn't supposed to be the way this was going to go down. I know it's the right thing to do, but this will definitely be my first challenge of motherhood.  I'm quickly learning that my life is no longer within my control.

So, for the best part of my day.....date with my husband out on the patio.  He's been amazing - taking care of me here and keeping the house running at home.  I don't know what I'd do without him!  


Today, my day was brightened with gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Stratter - and one that snuck in from Aunt Susie!

  1. Your life will not be under your control for a long time now, but it is well worth every bit of the chaos... and that comes from a mom that got toddler puke in the face less than 12 hours ago.
    Hang in there friend. I will bring a girls night dinner of your choice in a few days as soon as I know I am NOT carrying any contagions.

  3. This is such fun...thanks Jess for figuring it out. It's really hard for all of us to be so far away and not able to bring "snacks" for you to enjoy...take care
