Week 30 and 2 days - talk about a whirlwind!

This is going to be a long entry so be patient with all the info:
Well, as mentioned previously, Saturday, the 5th was a very boring and non-productive day. Spence was up and around bringing up the tree and decorations and cleaning out the fridge. I mostly sat around with Lennox and watched football with he and Spence when Spence wasn't going crazy busy.
I got up out of my lazy chair/bed to go take a shower around 11:30 or 12:00 and as I did, I felt a little leakage - probably only about 2-3 TBL is all. I thought that was weird and talked to Spence about it and we decided I would call my nurse later. I got in the shower and got a little ready for the day and then came out and sat down and fell asleep by my sweet little Lennox. We slept for an hour or two and then I woke up and decided I should probably call Cristy. I did and she told me that if I just had one baby, I probably wouldn't need to worry about going into the hospital but because there are 3, I should go in and get it checked out. No rush but within the next few hours. Spence's parents and grandma came over to help Spence put up all the tree decorations since I wasn't going to be much help. They set it all up and Kristin happened to come over to to drop off some things. I broke down into tears because I was really fearful about going in to the hospital. However, we took a pic by the tree and I got a blessing from Spence & his dad and then we headed into the hospital to Labor & Delivery. I leaked one more time standing up before leaving about the same amount unfortunately so the nerves really hit then. We made it in and the nurses were great and told us it was probably nothing but they needed to check too. They hooked the babies up to the monitors to see if they were doing okay or if they were stressed.l They also wanted to check for contractions with me but didn't find anything. So, then they ended up doing the speculum test to check for amniotic fluid and the nurses exact words were, "oh, sweetie - you've ruptured!" I immediately looked at Spence and felt paralyzed! Then the next few hours were a whirlwind: talk of emergency c-section that night or the next morning, fears of infection for me and for the babies. SCARY!!! Anyway, they kept the babies on the monitors and looked for contractions in me all night. They also wanted to make sure that the babies would get the necessary steroid shots for their lungs over the next few days. So, I got one of those late that night. Sleep was challenging but possible with all the monitors on my belly. Spence stayed over which I was so grateful for - we were really worried about the next few hours.
Sunday, the 6th: This was pretty much just a day of monitoring and more monitoring for me and the babies. They were looking for any signs of infection too: hurting belly, fever or elevations in the babies heart beats. None of which took place, thank goodness. The talk of a c-section tapered off a lot during the day and they were even talking longer and longer stay in here. We had some great visitors - thank you, thank you for coming and seeing us. We love you and appreciate your love and support. We've gotten so many texts and emails and appreciate you so much! I had my 2nd steroid shot (betamethazone - I think that is the spelling) at midnight which gave Spence and I a lot of reassurance for the babies. At least if they were born now, they would be much better off and would be breathing so much better.

Monday, the 7th: That morning, we went up for a usound with my peri to see if they could determine where the leak was from - meaning which sac was leaking and also to see how big the babies were measuring. No visible leak was seen and all the babies fluid looked great! IT was low in any sac so they couldn't see where it could have leaked from. The babies weights were good too - all about 3 lbs each. BABY A was so far down that they couldn't find his head so his weight is not completely accurate at this point. Anyway, so no real answers on the leak. They were even mentioning that at times, little tears can seal themselves back up but is very uncommon. I continued to be monitored all day for contractions which were very minimal and I didn't even feel most of them and when I did it felt like a very small menstrual cramp. Spence had to keep asking me if I felt them cause they were showing up but I couldn't feel them. We had a few visitors that day and night: thank you so much for coming by you guys! We love you and appreciate your support. Fortunately too, Spence's mom works her at IMC and is able to check on us as much as possible.
The conclusion of Monday was still up in the air. Maybe I could stay a few weeks and then they would take the babies at 32 weeks to break the changes of infection but then not knowing where the leak was coming from was frustrating everyone too. I was pumped full of antibiotics all day through an IV still to ward off the possible infection even more. So the talk has now become that I could potentially go further than 2 weeks but no longer than 4. We'll see if that sticks! I had one last test that night. They wanted to do another speculum test to see if they could determine any further leakage. They found nothing!!! No leak, no fluid and no cervix opening. So...then what am I doing here??? I was quite frustrated last night and starting crying a lot. I was so glad Spence was here to support me - he is so great. Thanks babe for your calmness and love. I love you!
Today is Tuesday, the 8th. Spence slept over again last night which is so sweet. I actually ended up moving rooms last night away from L&D and up to the "monitoring phase" of bedrest. I no longer am at risk for delivering immediately so I got moved up. This morning, I went and did an NST (non-stress test - you'll be seeing these a lot from now on) to see how the babies were since when I moved up a floor, I got to stop monitoring them constantly on my tummy. The NST showed the same thing: no signs of major leaks anywhere and their sacs looked good for fluid. Their hearts looked great and don't appear to be under stress of any kind. Thank goodness. My contractions are about the same: minimal to none. I got to take out my IV early this morning too so now I'm just on oral antibiotics. The rest of today will be much the same: every 4 hour checks on BP and fever and 8 hour antibiotic pills. No real direction for the future it appears. I talked to my OB Dr F and he even said that there isn't much we can do other than wait it out and see what happens. Without knowing where the leak is coming from, they can't do too much. They don't want to send me home because of the risk of infection at any level and time but he is aware of how annoying it is for me to be here sort of for no reason too.

Every day I have to try and wrap my head around a now idea: first it was immediate c-section, then 2 weeks stay and delivery, and now it is looking more like it could be 4 weeks in here. Who knows? All I do know is that every day is a day that the babies are getting stronger and bigger and that is what we care about most. Thank you so much for all your support and prayers. We both know they have make a huge difference and we couldn't be more thankful. This should make for a very interesting Christmas season! The worst part is missing Spence when he isn't here and missing my little Lennox. I can barely stand it which might sound dumb to some of you but I hate not seeing him. Anyway, my friend Alicia came to visit today and reminded me that this is now my job so I can focus on that - very true and wise words. Thanks! I'll probably be doing daily updates now since things change so quickly and that would be shorter too.
Thanks again! We love you!
