I had my 33 week OB update yesterday. Everything went really well. We had an ultrasound to see how big the babies have grown. They are measuring 4lbs, 8oz each. I can't believe how close they have been in size the entire time. The ultrasound tech told us that the babies will gain about 6-7oz per week from here on out. I'm so surprised to know that I'm carrying around about 9lbs worth of baby! The Dr said I'm measuring (the size of my uterus) about 1 week over due.
After having such a good week, on bed rest, I had a terrible night. I had several contractions last night. I really thought that we were on the upside of having to be on bed rest, but last night was a reminder that I need to stay in bed. I really hope that I'm able to hold on for a couple of more weeks. The Dr says that I need to make it to 34 weeks, but I would much rather make it to 35 weeks. I know my babies will be small, but at least 5 lbs would be good. Connor was so small and he was 7lbs 9 oz, I can't even begin to picture what the girls would look like at 5lbs each.
I hope my week goes by fast and is very boring, I hope everyone has a great week!!

Keep hanging in there, Lisa!
My Great Aunt Mary used to say "better out than in" but O think she was referring to farts.... In your case, it's "better in than out" -- at least for a few more weeks!
Uh.."O" equals "I"....
Thinkin of you! Hang in there and don't forget to call if you need anything even just a change of scenery!

Glad to hear the babies are growing so well! Bedrest must stink- try to hang in there! Your sweet girls will be here before you know it and bedrest will become a distant memory.
