31 Weeks

We celebrated today with Tina's parents and Mark. We stopped off at Dairy Queen and picked up an Oreo Blizzard ice cream cake. Today marks a full month now that we've been sitting at Riverside, doing absolutely as little as possible to try and keep these boys in. I'm really curious to find out how much they've grown these last two weeks when we get the next ultrasound on Monday.

It's been a good week so far. We got Tina an appointment to get a massage while she's here at the hospital. They had to be very careful not to work any pressure points that could put her into labor, but she was so happy to have that done. I'm sure having those two weights in your belly just throws your back all out of wack.

The doctors have been much more accomodating with letting me take Tina outside once a day in the wheelchair to get some fresh air. That's been a big development as well, and definitley helps make the days go by faster.

We officially closed on our new house in Pembroke, NH yesterday and are now trying to pick out paint colors. It can be a little frustrating for Tina since she's never actually seen the house we will be moving into. It is nice to know that we are no longer homeless though.

Here's the updated list we got from the NICU for 31-32 Weeks:

SURVIVAL RATE (infants born with no major malformations) 99%

CHANCE OF LONG TERM DISABILITIES: low

These are big upgrades from before! Thanks for all of the prayers.

Love,

Ryan, Tina, Ethan, and Kevin
