    Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes from my post last night. My IV has been flushed and I'm in a high risk bed (much more comfy) now so I'm feeling human again. They even let me shower today!

    My girls showed impressive heart rates through the night and day today with only one minor scare. We are still being watched closely with 3 NSTs a day, but not doing the constant 24 hour monitoring any longer. My bp has been better but we're still awaiting test results from the 24 hour urine catch for protein, so hopefully we'll have a clean bill of health on pre-e. All blood tests have been negative for infections, so we're beginning to rule things out though we're not sure yet why she is so much smaller.

    I'm just so thankful that my little one continues to thrive and look good. Being here without DH is hard, but I know it's the best possible environment for my little pumpkins.

    Again, thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayers, I truly believe they are working. God bless you all.

    Danielle, DH and the girls
