Today is 36 weeks, and it looks like the doctors finally had a pow-wow and have agreed that if she can make it (that the preeclampsia doesn't get worse) to 37 weeks (February 4th) then that's when the babies will be born. So we are back to the c-section that we had originally scheduled.
A lot has actually happened since my post yesterday. Once we got the news that everyone was in agreement the one doctor asked "can't we get her out of this room if she's going to be in here another week? It's depressing" which was very true as it was dark and her window just faced other windows a so it didn't really matter that she even had one. And so they moved us to another room which is slightly smaller, but has a view of the emergency room entrance and the helicopter landing pad so at least it's something to look at- another bonus is that this room has a pullout couch so I no longer have to sleep in a recliner I actually had a bed last night! It's the little things ;)
The doctors say that Marisa is doing really well and that her body seems to be responding to the bedrest in that things aren't getting worse, yet they do continue to monitor her. And let's talk about those babies... They measured them this morning and Edyn is 6 lbs. 12 oz. and Harrison is 7 lbs. 1 oz.!!! You can only imagine how tiny little Marisa is carrying all that weight around! We never expected them to be that big already, but it's great that they are!
So that's your Monday morning update. Everything could change again by Monday evening but we will just have to wait and see!
