Good news!

I just returned from spending the day at the hospital. Annie is doing so well they might send her home on Wednesday! I think she has realized the benefit of bed rest! We still have a couple of weeks to go before her scheduled C-section on October 16th and the doctor's would like for her to keep the babies as long as possible although they tell us she won't make it to the scheduled date. Saturday they started giving her insulin for her gestational diabetes and her numbers are where they should be now. Her blood pressure seems to be stable and her swelling has greatly diminished. So for now we are all taking a deep breath!

She had an ultra sound this morning and the babies weights are a little over 4# and a little over 3#. The doctor said that is good. They will probably be in NICU for a bit before they'll be able to come home. Their heart beats are robust and both heads are down. We can see them moving around a lot!

I do have some quilt related things to tell about...my husband has taken the camera with him to Florida and he won't return until Thursday so you'll have to wait for pictures. Sorry. I've been busy while I've been sitting at the hospital. My friends are doing a bazaar around the middle of October and I've been helping them by sewing the bindings on a few things. Six so far and I have one more to do. I have finished one Home Sweet Home block and almost finished another block plus started a new one. Sunday when I stayed home all day I actually worked on the Christmas Log Cabin blocks! I'm determined to empty my drawer with Christmas fabric in it.

I'll keep you updated on my daughter's progress. Thanks so much for all the well wishes, thoughts and prayers. Keep them coming, we are going to need them. :")
