The morning of the 19th Bruce went to a training class at the hospital about infant car seats. I was supposed to go but couldn't - I was on bed rest. The doctors put me on bed rest after some test results came back with unusually high results. I am dealing with preeclampsia. For more information you can click this link:
When we were talking to the doctor about the test results on Wednesday, he told us that I would be retested on Friday and to have our bags packed because I might be admitted to the hospital on Friday if the test results were worse. I was scared and nervous. At that point I was just 33 weeks. However, we did have an ultrasound that day (Wednesday), and both babies looked awesome. Baby A (the boy) was weighing in at 4 lbs. 3 oz. and Baby B (the girl) was weighing in at 4 lbs. 7 oz. What a relief to have such healthy babies at this point. There are still some risks, but the complication rate is pretty low. As for the bed rest, I am really behaving myself so I haven't been admitted to the hospital. Also on Wednesday night (the night of the ultrasound and talk with the doctor) Trent Parker came over, and he and Bruce gave me a priesthood blessing that my body would be able to carry the pregnancy to term. So many people are praying with us right now and I am so grateful. I really want these babies to be healthy. Thank you for all of your support. I am seeing the doctor every other day now and it is just a waiting game . . . I will keep you all posted!!!
Hospital bags packed. Now they get loaded into the Jeep before every Doctor appt.
Car seats loaded and installed in the Jeep. I can't believe that in a few short weeks we are going to be putting our babies in there and hopefully taking them home.

I am so excited the car seats really do get to be filled with Tyler and Emma really soon. Congrats on the babies, they are so beautiful. I can't wait to hold them and hear them cry.
