We checked in to Abbott this afternoon with some stronger contractions and they have admitted Ali. They put her on some stronger drugs and also gave her the first of 2 steroid shots to help develop the girls lungs more rapidly. At about 11pm they checked her cervix for the 2nd time today and it was beginning to dilate. They tried more drugs and said they would check again at midnight and if it enlarged we would start the delivery process. The midnight check came and she had dilated a little more but we were still holding strong-- more drugs. The 1 am check came and we were holding steady. It is now 3am and we are status quo, but it looks like we will deliver in the next couple of days. The 2nd steroid shot would be Wednesday at 3:30pm. Ali is tired but hanging in there. The contractions are every few minutes and painful. The girls are being troopers and hanging in there, even baby A who has been poked in the head 3 times for cervical checks.
I will update again when I get a chance.
Please continue to pray for the girls health, strength and lung development. Pray for Ali's strength and for the pending C-section.
With the journey we have had this could all be a test run. Be back soon with an update--and maybe 3 girls names to announce!
