We had our latest high risk appointment today. After 2 weeks of modified bedrest we got the order today to go on complete bedrest. While disappointing, this news really wasn't unexpected, and we understand the importance of avoiding preterm labor as long as possible. For example, the chance of survival of an infant born at 28 weeks is twice that of one born at 24 weeks. We're at 27 weeks on Thursday, and
tests indicate that we shouldn't have to worry about the babies being born in the next two weeks. Our next goal is 30 weeks (Oct. 25), and if we reach that, we'll set a new goal.
One thing that is complicated by this is Sarah's baby shower on Oct. 6. The doc gave us the go-ahead for an hour or so if we can get a hold of a wheelchair. It'll be the most efficient baby shower ever! Sarah is really looking forward to being able to leave the house (and not for a doctor's appointment), even if it's for a short time.
But, hey, chin up, we've got some pictures for everyone. First off, we finally get a decent profile of Joseph.
We've also got a pretty cute one of Emma sucking on her hand.
