We're back home now from the hospital and Norma is doing a lot better after our little scare. The shot to stop the contractions has been working very well and the overnight stay waylaid our fears that everything is checking out ok. The doctor checked Norma's cervix and it he didn't see any thinning or efacement - so that was the best news to hear since labor this early does not bode well.

28 Weeks is our next major milestone we are focused on.  At that stage - the babies have a 90-95% viability rate and it gets better from there for every extra week they are in the belly. As a side note - 26 Weeks is 70% and 27 Weeks is 80% respectively. So those milestones are pretty big dates. Anything that early will result in a very long and extended NICU time for both the boys, but we are shooting for the moon and saying our prayers for a good long 36-37 Week pregnancy which gives them the best chance for a healthy delivery.

We'll post an update next week after our next ultrasound/OB visit but it's back to strict bedrest until then.
