Gratefully, another uneventful day came and went today. It's fun to be able to spend a good chunk of a day with Erin, and many thanks to the endless love & support of our siblings & parents for all the wonderful help...
The daily routine seems to be this: a nurse, Dr/resident or other medical staffer comes in to monitor the babies for a set period of time... BUT little do they know when they enter our room, that they are in for quite a wrestling match! They start by holding a small "paddle" used for ultra sounds on Erin's belly right over one of the babies, and try to hold it in place with an elastic medical wrap over baby's heart to monitor for a while. Then they take another paddle to try to locate the other baby. This proves to be difficult, partially because they are so close together that it's hard to tell if the second paddle is on the other baby or the same baby, but even more so because that baby wiggles around a lot as the medical staffer gives chase, and by the time that baby is caught and being watched, baby #1 has moved and is now "off the radar"! :) It's great fun, as they tease all of us and wiggle around a lot. Ok these trained medical professionals may not find it so amusing, but we find it fun to know that they are doing very well and have a bit of a sense of adventure! (yes, insert "boy you guys are really in for it once they are born" comment here __________________)
Babies are good, Erin is great. We'll check in again soon!
