3 weeks down!

Jan 7th -been in the hospital over 3 weeks now.

Yesterday Jen K and Jen M stopped by to visit and brought lunch (thank you again!). They had great timing, because the ultrasound technician came by while they were here so they got to see baby Tyler on the ultrasound with us. He's growing well, just shy of 2 lbs (842 grams) which means he's grown a lot since we first got here. The u/s tech said everything looked normal which is a victory!

This morning the doctor on call stopped by and we discussed shower priveleges. Earlier in the week they had said we'd assess this mid-week. She said she'd prefer to wait, she is self-admitted very conservative about this, but if I were going nuts she would sign off on shower priveleges. We met in the middle and decided we'd reassess and if all goes well start showering on Saturday. (Don't worry, I still get spongebaths in bed!). She also mentioned that she was on bedrest with her twins for 9 weeks and delivered at 28 weeks, and her twins are healthy and happy. I want to go much further than that, but it is good to hear another success story!
