Hospital 33+5

Today began as the last few have after a rock star nurse last night.  By the way the movie was good, Kyle and I both enjoyed it. Our nurse last night was Susan Doyle, I called mom to tell her how much she would like her.  She was what mom calls "old school" but the right way. She came in and asked me all the necessary questions about my condition.  She checked my reflexes and my swelling.  Susan also listened to my chest.  She was the first nurse to do all of this and the first nurse to offer us any water or ice.  She is awesome and is coming back tonight.  I was sure to get her name to brag on her.  I also have a Susan today who came in and did a similar assessment and brought me a lemonade.
So Susan put me on the monitor around 5:45 this morning.  The babies were difficult and moving this morning but she finally got it to stick.  Everyone did pretty well, Ray was sleeping so he had a steady but low 120+ heart rate with little up and down action but they said that was normal.  Again anything between 110 - 170 is fine.  Even if they dip down below 110, it has to be for more than 15 seconds to count as a data point.  Susan was very pleased with their strips today.
I went on about my business and took a shower, yes it was warm enough to stand in after letting it run for close to 10 minutes before getting in it.  Kyle slept better last night but we both still only had about 4 hours total.  I had a nap this afternoon  with mom. 
I was told they were going to put me on 3 times a day monitoring but no one ever came at 2 so Kyle asked around 2:45.  Adele, the other nurse, called Dr. Tabb who said he changed the order to 2 times a day.  So she will be back at 5:30 to put me back on monitors.
Jeremy and Katie stopped by for a few.  While they visited Dr. Tabb came by, the MFM on call.  He asked how I was, pushed on my belly and told us everything looks fine.  He said he wasn't worried about the rates and said all my kids were fine.
Sharon and Daryl are coming by tonight to bring us dinner and hang out for a bit. 
A great big shout out to Todd for going to my house and loving on my fur kids for a while.  He also made sure that Shelby got her pill so we don't have to worry about that.  Also a thanks to Courtney for being there when we need her!
Still appreciating all the thoughts and prayers.  They are still shooting for 9/11 which seems so far away but I'm sure it will be here before I know it.  I will be 35+3 at that point and the babies will be in really good shape.
