Well, the kiddos have made it to viability! So I checked in with Will this morning to the labor and delivery unit. I have a suite and have room service. Nice! I have my computer set up with web cam so if anyone has G chat or skype let me know :) The docs recommend i spend most of the time resting but I am able to go out and about the hospital every once in awhile. Will and I can order in from local restaurants on the weekends.
The plan- Fetal heart rate monitored for 30-60 min 3 times a day. I will have doppler ultrasound every other day. Growth Ultrasound every three weeks. We are still aiming for 34 weeks at Thanksgiving! They will be delivered by C- section.
Seems like I get spotty cell phone reception here. Its like Merrill Lynch for those who are in the know. I have figured out a way to call through the computer so I will try to check messages and get back to people. The best way to contact me is email. kimsilvdmd@gmail.com
As far as visiting- I welcome visitors, but let me know you are coming ahead of time. I will provide better directions than google maps, map quest or GPS. Parking can get expensive- max of $16 after 3 hours. Only Will can get the spouse discount. Carpool helps :)
I'll try to keep all posted.

26 1/2 week update
The kids flipped places! I don't know how but now A is on the left and B is on the right. B is breech again. But this is all good news because they are not kinking their blood supply now. So their acrobatics have paid off. No growth measurement since i was just there last week.
The plan now is to be admitted Oct 12 at 9am. They will run some tests that day and I guess I will get settled.
When I got home the midwife called and said my glucose tolerance test was elevated so now I have to do the three hour test. They actually attempted to get my regular OB to do that test. I laughed and said they treat me like a ten foot pole patient- good luck. I tried to persuade them to let me take it when I am admitted, but they said they want it sooner. So now I have to sit in Lab Corp for over three hours. Yuck!!! Hopefully it will turn out better this time. Although I think my diet would be more controlled in the hospital.
