We had a nice couple of days at the hotel, but …I’m glad to be back at home. 3 days with four kids in a hotel room with two double beds was….a lot! The kids had a great time swimming, playing and…getting on each others nerves though. Mr. Green I have some great... »

Yesterday was a beautiful pre-spring day. We went out with the kids in the backyard for nearly 2 hours….and then let them stay out in the back until after dark. Even Aidan was out there trying to keep up with all of the running around. Thomas and I started planning how... »

More pics before I take off…I just finished emptying out my digital cam, so here are some highlights from the last couple of months! Andrew and Alex at the Blue and Gold Ceremony. Andrew officially became a boyscout!!! Amanda hanging out at Alex’s 7th B-day party! She didn’t want to go in and play... »

My grouchines continues. Honestly…we survived residency, fellowship, two international moves and tons of ‘regular’ moves…but I just lately wonder if we Thomas and I can … get through this anymore. Actually, lately, I’m wondering if I can just get through this anymore. I’m tired. We have done fine until recently, but the ‘novelty’ of this... »

Alright…I’m bad…bad, bad, bad. I have been really lax about taking my blood sugars as I’ve previously mentioned. So I started back on the prednisone for 5 days on Tuesday after being discharged from the hospital again. I slept most of the afternoon/evening because of my headache etc and then Wed I realized that I... »

Cycle #5 of 6 is finally behind me. I was admitted Monday night to observe baby and look for contractions…I was told that if I began having contractions they would not stop labor and would immediately deliver me. Fortunately, the cramping didn’t progress and I was able to go home Tuesday afternoon. Also, my... »

My internet connection was just too slow to update! I’m finally home…and…still pregnant! My amniotic fluid went up to 9.2…then back down to 6.89…but I was allowed to be discharged on modified ‘bed rest’. Interestingly, modified bedrest was defined on this sheet as being allowed to get up for the bathroom and…to cook meals. I have... »

The rollercoaster continues. We did a biophysical profile today and the amniotic fluid was up to 9…still a little under where she wants it to be, but it’s much improved. The power of bedrest, I guess! The steroids did cause my sugars to go up quite a bit…above 240 and so now... »

It’s been a long day. I have a slow internet connection so I am going to try and update things. I don’t know where we’re heading with everything, but I’ve managed to convince myself that the u/sound today was simply wrong. I think that she just made a mistake. I know that sounds... »

I had an u/sound biophysical profile done this morning now that we’ve finally reached 28 weeks. Unfortunately, the amniotic fluid is way down (6.2 Normal is 10-11 and I guess 5 is ‘deliver’). I’ve been admitted to the OB floor for a minimum of 48 hours. If by some “miracle” (not my words)... »
