Another week come and gone.....

Today began my 25th week. With every week I become more excited and more anxious. I know how critical the next few weeks are for the development of these babies and all my energy is going into making sure I am doing what I need to do to keep them in my tummy. This weekend was a lot less eventful than last. Tripp had to go to the doctor on Saturday with fever, congestion, etc. Luckily, it was nothing too serious. The doctor ruled out strep, pnemonia, and mono. He said it was just a virus of the tonsils and would just have to run its course. He is feeling much better today and got to go to school. I know how exhausted my husband has to be from juggling everything: me, Tripp, work, and all the house hold duties. It would be a lot for anyone. Never once has he complained (or lost his mind). There are just not enough words for what he means to me because I could not be doing this without him. I would not have imagined that some thing like this would have brought a couple closer, especially since we are closer than most, but it has. Needless to say, he deserves a husband of the year award. I went to the doctor today and spent most of my day there. My sweet friend Lisa went with me for moral support. Friends are good assets in any part of life, but I am most thankful for them at times like these. I went to labor and delivery and was put on the monitors for about an hour. Next I went upstairs for ultra sound and doctor visit. Everything looks great. The babies look good and I am doing great. The doctor, again, seemed pretty excited. I go back next week for my steroid shots. One will be given on Monday and I will go back Tuesday for my second. This will expedite the development of the babies. I will be monitored again and checked via ultra sound and doctor. After next week I will continue weekly visits but it will become a waiting game. She said she would not hesitate to take them at 32 weeks, but she definitely would not let me exceed 34 weeks. I know I will take a big sign of relief after the 30 week mark. :) Ultimately, no big news and that is just fine with me. I think most people would probably tell me to enjoy it while it lasts. :) Please keep the prayers coming!!
