We had our weekly doctor's appointment today. I have dilated 2 cm and am 80% effaced. Dr. Guidice said to continue taking the brethine which will help me distinguish between real labor and just normal uterine contractions. He said I did not have to stay in bed at this point but could engage in "moderate activity." Amy and I had a discussion about what moderate activity would consist of (a quick errand here and there). I am to go back to the doctor this Thursday for either a stress test or a non-stress test ( I can't remember which one he said) and will continue going to the office twice a week until my c-section date. The doctor did say he did not think I would make it to the 26th, and we will basically play it by ear until then.
I will be 36 weeks tomorrow and am extremely happy about making it this far. My bag is packed, and we are taking things one day at a time.

Yay uneventful doctor appointments! Yay for healthy mom and healthy twins! !
Being off your feet is still good, but having permission to get up now and then is sure going to make the time go by faster for you.
Ashley-

Glad you made it home safely, Amy! We enjoyed your shrimp and spinach pasta tonight with garlic bread and pound cake. We miss you already.
Amanda -- you are too sweet. I will let you know what the doctor says on Thursday.
Hey Uncle Jimmy! Amy had to go on home. Eric is headed her way for a visit. I'm still going to take it easy but will not stay completely in bed.
Love you all!
