Week 29.5 - Not going anywhere for a while?


GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL! DO NOT PASS GO! DO NOT COLLECT $200! Well it looks like Ali is in for the long haul now. After speaking with the doctor yesterday and getting an update, the doctor says that given our close proximity of an hour to the hospital she will not be going anywhere until the turkeys are done.

She is no longer a Mag Hag as she has been taken off all fluids and subsequently her contractions have subsided a bit and having less with only her Procardia than she did on the mag. Her cervix, however, has shorten to 6mm meaning baby A's little hairs on his head are almost blowing in the breeze! The good thing for now is that her contractions are not productive so they (the Docs) are okay with the shorter cervix until the contractions begin to be painful and then at that point when they do its baby time!


For those of you who know Ali really well will know how funny this cartoon is; her jail cell, I mean hospital room MUST look like this or she will go crazy. She was disappointed the other night, in a phone conversation we had, that she was missing her favorite season (Fall) and that she was not going to be able to decorate for Halloween. So I surprised her with 4 mini Pumpkins (one for each of them) and some Mums to sprinkle her room with a little Fall but it wasn't good enough; the stores didn't have the cinnamon brooms to give that fresh stench of the season emanating around her room. If she had it her way she could give Martha a good run for her money!

Taylor ~ mums and pumpkins? I am so impressed!!!! That was so nice!

Ali ~ my cervix was 4mm for 10 weeks...you can do it, girl!! In order to keep up with the James' though, you MUST wait until 34 1/2 weeks...then, you will be in competition! :)

Praying for y'all!
