The first real big goal we have made, the doctors have always said this is our first important goal as now the babies are viable and can be saved if I go into labour or anything else was to occur. I was still coming to terms with being in hospital and I was always asking the doctors if there was a chance i could get home. Kane had made it very clear he would rather me be in here with him away from work til 6 every night I would be on my own a majoirty of the time. The doctors said that I had to wait til thursday to see what happens in the ultrasound.
The days went pretty fast actually and I was suprised how many doctors and that came to see me. I was happy that Mum was still here as that made the days so much faster. At this stage the doctors said every day counts so I was just hoping like crazy these babies were not in any kind of rush to come.
I had to still get lots of tests done on my heart as it was giving me a few complications breathing and racing. I was planned for the halter mointor which was going to be attached for 24 hours and show them my rythms the whole time. Some days I felt really good and walking was easy. Other days walking down to the cafe was to much and would get really dizzy, I was hoping I was going to be ok because being stuck on the ward to long gets a bit painful.
Kane visits me every night after he finishes work and stays til around 8pm with Mum, (he is also very lucky at the moment as my Mum has been cooking them dinner before she comes into see me). In my room sometimes there are one or two other ladies, but one night I had 3 new mums and 3 newborns.. it was more than frustrating trying to sleep with all this going on. I think that night I got around 3-4 hours and felt miserable all day. Later that night I had had enough and I burst into tears telling Kane and Mum that all I wanted was to be home. Mum brought me in some ear plugs and a face mask the next day to help with the sleeping and I was crossing my fingers I would get a decent night sleep.
My doctor informed me that my iron levels were still to low, even with taking the tablets it was not abosrbing so they were looking into an iron infusion. (This is pretty much just getting pumped with liquid iron through a drip and its a once of treatment). On thursday morning I had my scan to recheck my cervix, I was so nervous!!
Mum came along with me, first they check babies quickly still 3 strong beating hearts :) then to my cervix, i had only lost a 1mm so was on 1.9cm .. they were very happy with this and said it has stabulized. I got back and not long after they confirmed that I would get the iron infusion and off I was to the birthing suite room to get it done. 8 hours it took, was ok just a little uncomfortable.
Almost getting to 25 weeks the next goal, Mum leaves on Sunday which will be sad but having my sister Alanah arrive on Tuesday for a couple of weeks :)
