More Bed Rest

Well, it has been 4 weeks since I was put on bed rest. Up until now, things were going really well. At our doctor appointment yesterday, we learned that my cervix is starting to shrink again. We are praying that I will be able to keep these babies in for at least 5 more weeks, but would prefer to make it 9 more. Well, even at 9 more weeks, I would be settling, since I wanted to make it to 37 weeks (14 weeks away). But the prognosis for the babies is greatly increased at 28 and then again at 32 weeks. So that is what we will pray for! In the meantime, I will continue laying around on the couch.
So, now for the exciting part of our last two weeks. I finally started to feel the babies moving last week! It was a long awaited treat, to say the least! It started out as just the slightest "touch" type feeling - on the inside, which was weird at first. Quite hard to describe too, but somehow as a mom, you just know it is your baby you feel. Then this week the movements became quite a bit stronger. Finally, on our way to the doctor on Tuesday, I had Jason put his hand on my stomach, just to see if it was strong enough for him to feel anything - and he did! He was able to feel Haley moving around, stretching and kicking! Christina moves around quite a bit too, but because of how low she is, I think it will still be a little while before Jason can feel her. Joshua doesn't seem to be moving as much, unless he is like Christina, and it is just a positional factor - because I don't get to feel him very often, but boy when we have an ultrasound, does he move!
