We thought the babies might be joining us Thursday night, but it was another false alarm. I was having contractions again, and lost most of the fluid around both babies (this water break was more like the kind you see on TV). I was moved to another room (so email one of us if you'd like the new phone number), and monitored over night, but the contractions stopped after about 4 hours. At this point I'm starting to wish the contractions would just continue into labor so we can be done with all of this!!
After losing so much of the fluid, the ultrasound scheduled for Monday was moved to Friday. It confirmed the loss of fluid around both babies, and estimates their weights at 4 lb 5 oz for baby A and 4 lb 1 oz for baby B. The weights are much closer than we thought they would be, but still nothing to worry about. The docs think Baby A must have had a growth spurt just before the last ultrasound since he/she has only put on 5 oz since then.
Even with the loss of fluid, the plan is still to try to get to 34 weeks. So we should have babies to hold in less than 2 weeks! It's nice to see the end of the road (at least this section of the road) in sight. I know the hard part is yet to come, but we'll be happy to be there after all of this!
For now, I will continue to nap, watch obscure Olympic sports like badminton, try to do some more knitting, and convince Steve to play more Scrabble with me.

Granddad and Billie still wait also, the twins have nice parents to care for them when they enter the actual world.
