Almost There

Kim has been in the hospital for 18 days.  She has been on nifedipine every 4 hours to stop labor.  Today she hits the 36 week mark.  Therefore, the Dr.'s are letting her go off the labor meds.  Although the medicine isn't "proven" to 100% stop labor, it seems to have worked in Kim's case.  At the 4 hour mark, her contractions start up as if her body knows its time for the meds again!

Kim is feeling big, uncomfortable and ready to be done. 
As she said, "Large and in-charge!"  This  is how Kim's feeling these days:

So, we shall see when these babies actually arrive.  Bets are on!  The doctors and nurses see it go both ways from here, about 50/50.  Some women deliver, others have prolonged it long enough that they end up having to be induced!  She's hoping for the labor onset, not the waiting more weeks...  :)

In other Bevan news - Logan fractured a bone in his foot (1st metatarsal - behind the big toe, in the foot).  He is still mastering the skill of 'running.'  He tripped over his own two feet while running and lost his balance.  Apparently that was enough.  He's been limping around for a few days, and a bump became visible yesterday.  The dr. did an x-ray and found the fracture.  Poor guy!  So, they've got him in a splint for now, and will cast it once the swelling goes down.

I feel bad for Logan.  But, I feel worse for Kimmo.  Nothing worse than having to stay in a hospital and not be able to love on your little boy with a broken bone!  She knows he's in good hands with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Melissa nearby...but it's still hard.
