Well, Eugene and I have officially been married for 8 years as of today. Eugene actually drove back down to Grand Rapids last night after work to surprise me so that we could spend our anniversary day together. I was outside taking a walk around the hospital and talking to him on the phone when he pulled up beside me. I was quite surprised, to say the least! I think that was the best gift he could have given me. It's amazing how much you grow to appreciate a little time together when you don't get to see each other on a regular basis for a month! I am so thankful I've been blessed with such an amazing husband!
I got another day pass to leave today since it was our anniversary and all, but after this morning's monitoring we weren't sure if we were going to be able to go or not. It was definitely the most concerning monitoring session I've had yet. Baby A was having numerous decelerations (which is the main thing we're watching for). By the time all was said and done I was on the monitors for an hour and a half as opposed to the usual 20-30 minute stint I typically have, but her heart rate eventually stabilized enough that they felt confident that everything was ok. Fortunately, our last monitoring session looked much better. Praise God!
Yesterday I finally went down to tour the NICU. The nurse showed me a baby that was about 29 weeks like mine are right now, and although I thought I was prepared, I immediately started to tear up. He was just so tiny! He looked so fragile laying in his isolet with all the bright lights and cords and everything hooked up to him. It's amazing to me the technology that is available today for these babies. Still, I'm just praying that we are able to make it at least another couple weeks so the babies can develop a little more before they enter into this harsh outside world!
