Were all here doing the hoping for you, if you need to take a break and feel some other way for a little while, and we'll still be here hoping for you when you're ready to do it again!!! Let yourself feel what you feel, you have been through so much and have kept such strength, I can only try to imagine how tired you must be. I wish for you that you can relax and let your mind and body rest while you continue to persevere. All the hope and strength and love to you!
Oh I'm so sorry to hear this and will say an extra prayer today that the fluid levels increase and remain steady. As PP have said, as hard as it is, try and rest as best you can. T&Ps to you and your husband.
girpipley I hate this! It's not.fair. I'm still praying like crazy for you!!! You have two little fighters on your hands! Don't give up hope, mama! I'm here if you need me!
Oh, sweetie. I am so sorry for the setback. You are of course in my thoughts and I'm sending every drink-baby-drink thought your way. This is your one step back, there will be two steps forward to follow. Your babies are in the best hands and while I'm sorry you won't be able to go home, you're on the right battlefield to fight this and win. The boys know what to do despite their ruptured sacs and if the doctors were still willing to send you home with Miles's sac ruptured to continue to grow, they clearly have faith v-day is in your future, as do we all. Distract yourself any way you can from the stress of today and know you and the whole family are in my thoughts. *hugs*
I am so sorry. My thoughts are with you and your family - I'm sure it's hard, but please stay strong! And keep on growing little guys - grow, drink, and pee!
Thanks guys. I'm hopeful for two steps forward soon.
My MFM just called and said they are having a group "pow wow" about me tomorrow. She is trying to advocate that, psychologically, I need to be home. The result doesn't change if I'm here vs there, so she thinks it's really best for me to be home until 23.5 weeks. They are going to discuss it in the morning and get back to me.
She's a fellow to the practice, so she can't make the decision on her own, and the practice in general makes these types of calls as a group. I know the OB of the practice doesn't want me to go home (she told me today) but the decision is up to the MFMs, so I have my fingers crossed.
She did mention that the placenta looks stable, so that is good news.
I hope you get to go home. Being in the hospital really screws with your head. Nothing like being in your own bed and getting to spend time with your little girl. I am rooting for those boys!
Hoping you get to go home. Your raw post today broke my heart. It's ok to be emotionally done. Somehow you'll manage to go on and find yourself further away from today. I think of you and those amazing babies all day.

Oh no! This sucks, I am so sorry! But Miles has even hanging on for a while now and Scott will too. The spina bifida scare on top of all this is scary, but I am holding out hope it's nothing. Either way, it will be okay. I am glad your doctor is advocating for you to go home. You have done such an amazing job being a mama to these little guys, you can all hang tight for just a few more weeks!
girpipley, you have remained strong throughout this process, don't lose your strength. I'm so sorry to read about your setback. Scream if you need to, cry, don't hold anything back. My thoughts are always with you. ((hugs)) coming at you right now.
Baby Elliott (technically) due 6.13.2015 but born via c-section on 4.12.2015 at 31w1d after 31d of hospital arrest (think house arrest) for monitoring.

I just read your updates, and I just want to say I'm so sorry and will continue to pray harder for your two boys. You need to know that it is okay to feel whatever you feel right now. There's lots of hope here for you that we're all holding, for when you need it. I hope that the docs decide you can go home tomorrow! I'm sure that change will make such a difference for you, your family, and the little guys too!

I just read your blog. It made me cry. I don't know how you have been so strong for this long. I hope you get to go home. Home is comfy. Comfy is what you need.
I just got time to read the blog update - all the creepy internet hugs to you. I hope you get to go home soon, and get to watch all the Disney movies! You are an amazing mom and your little girl knows that! Hell, I'm a stranger, and I know it!
Also, don't fret about the language - I think you're being very graceful under this fire, and I would be screaming and cursing quite a lot - if you need to let loose, do it!
Praying for you and your family! Don't ever feel bad about your feelings/language. You have a right to feel however you want and you've certainly been through enough. You're so strong, and your feelings in no way, make you weak. I'm hoping you get to go home and get your two steps forward soon!!

Still thinking of you. I'm sorry about all of the ups and downs you are having. I hope things take a turn for the better. We are all here for you, rooting for the boys and you to make it through.
I shared your story with a group of friends that I trust completely and we took some time to pray for you, your husband, and the babies on Sunday. There is always hope in these in between stages, and if you feel the hope is becoming heavy, please know you're not carrying it alone. I hope for you every single day. **hugs**
Still hoping and praying for you. I just read your blog and balled. I don't know how you stay strong. But remember this group is amazing and will be your strength when you need it. Don't give up hope.

Love to hear they're hanging in there.
I have mixed feelings about you going home, but I know they'll only do what's in your best interest, and I'm sure your MFM is right about the psychology of you being there. And it's none of my business anyway!
I am so sorry for this set back but praying your two steps forward are just around the corner. Stay strong and try to think positive. Your boys are little fighters.

I'm so sorry for the news of yesterday but I'm happy to hear there's still heartbeats. I hope you can go home and spend some time with your daughter. Maybe a little less psychological stress will help physically as well.
