Crazy Day

Today has been anything but normal for Kristen and the babies. Last night, Kristen was told that she would be moved almost immediately back to Providence Hospital (in Everett and where we started this hospital deployment). 30 minutes later that was put on hold for today. Around 1pm today, she was moved back to Providence via ambulance and almost immediately started having massive contractions. The babies (especially the lowest guy who is always trying to make a break for it) were pissed! Everyone started freaking out (thankfully, her Mom got in yesterday and was with her). I left work early thinking this might be it.

Fortunately, they were able to get Kristen some much needed water through an IV and, while she is still having contractions, they are starting to lessen in intensity a little. Please pray that these come under control, the babies settle down, and she goes back to how she felt yesterday: good. We are thankful that she has made it this far (29 weeks, 2 days and counting) but would love for her to hold on to these babies a little while longer.

While at home yesterday, I was able to get a majority of the nursery done, including getting the bedding on. I want to know who the maniac is that thought it would be a good idea to make things like bumpers and bed skirts! Those things are ridiculous. Not a fan, but they are all put together. I am just glad that the babies can now be happy knowing that the bed skirts and bumpers are on the cribs (something they have been worried about for quite some time).

Now, I am just hoping and praying that Kristen and the babies settle down and life can go back to "normal" for at least a little bit longer before our new "normal" consumes us.
