Getting Better

What a week! This post is a positive post. No sadness, just happiness.

Sara and Claire are doing very well. Sara has been off the Lovenox since Wednesday night. Everything is going great! She has been feeling pretty good and the doctors say that she may, MAY, be able to go home this week. She has an ultrasound on Tuesday and may get to come home after that.

We had the coolest moment on Saturday. Sara was on the contraction monitor. They have her on it just to see if she is having any contractions, which she is not. They wrap this band around your waist and put a monitor on her belly right below her belly button. Sara says Claire always kicks her like crazy when it is on. Sara started to feel her kick and told me to just take two fingers and slide them under the band and I may feel her kick. She kicked almost immediately! It was really cool. I was so excited to feel it. I was laughing with Sara and telling her how cool it was when Claire kicked even harder again. I only got those two kicks out of her but that was the coolest thing in the world. I am so glad I finally got to experience that.

God continues to bless us every day. He is listening to our prayers and the prayers of everyone else. It is a great feeling to know that she is off the medicine and everything is really good. We both have so much to look forward to. We are very thankful!

PS - If Sara comes home this week I have a bunch of pictures to post and will do them later in the week.
