The Good: Yesterday we had another ultrasound at MFM. The dr said we are doing "awesome" and that on paper our boys look like they are di/di (the least risky twins with their own sacs and placentas). Still no signs of preterm labor.
The Bad: When I got home from my appointment, I started feeling bad. I slept for about 3 hours then started throwing up. I couldn't keep anything down. I know getting dehydrated is one of the quickest routes to contractions and preterm labor so around 8pm we decided to head to L&D. When we arrived, my OB and MFM dr were out in the hall and they both looked panicked when they saw me. They ran lots of tests to make sure it was just a stomach virus (it was- no infection, no preeclampsia, etc) and it turns out I was already severely dehydrated. I got some fluids and some meds and got to go home. I didn't have any contractions the whole 4 hours I was on the monitors so that was encouraging. Unfortunately, Kiran started throwing up while we were at the hospital. We're all resting and recovering and hoping Jonathan doesn't get it.
That's how we're ending 2009. Here's to 2010- guaranteed to be a full year!

Oh my goodness, that sounds rough! It seems you're doomed to throwing up viruses with each pregnancy huh? I hope y'all start feeling better soon!
praying J stays well so he can care for you and the girls! Sorry you had a rough week. 2010 is going to be a SUPER year. Can't wait to hold my nephews---praying for Feb -Birthdays
BLAH! Praying that J stays well!
Yay for the good!
Boo for the Bad!
2010 will be a full year for you guys, but I know it will be rockin'!
I am so sorry you have this our family just got over it praying for you.
Glad you are feeling better. And that the boys are fine. What fun it will be to look back at 2010 and see what adventures you guys have! I don't think there will be a dull moment.
I'm glad you're better and hydrated. Way to go on the quick thinking, Mommy. Seems like the kind of thing I would have made a BAD judgment call on. You've got a good head on your shoulders and those boys are blessed you have you carrying them around. For as long as possible, we hope. :)
I'm so glad it was a virus. Hope you are feeling better.
Party on! Our New Year's Eve was spent applying gooey lice treatment and combing dead bugs from our kids' (all four) hair. What a blast...I am glad you are better, by the way:)
