Saturday Update

Things have progressed very well. This morning, the doctor felt Debbie had progressed enough to move her from the labor and delivery wing to the postpartum wing. It basically meant constant monitoring of her contractions and of the baby were no longer necessary as things appeared to have stopped for the time being. That said, he still wants to keep her in the hospital for a while. The current estimate is she will come home Monday or Tuesday. Debbie was also able to confirm what we thought: she will be on bed rest when she gets home. This Monday marks week 33 of the pregnancy and the doctor would like her to remain on bed rest until the bun is fully cooked (about week 37). Debbie's biggest problem right now is boredom. She's only allowed out of bed for bathroom breaks and I can't stay by her side 24x7 anymore.
Her parents did make it late last night. The walked in the door about 11:30 pm, so it was a long day for them. I really like having them around right now because Lauren is quite a handful. Grandma was able to occupy her while daddy could get some errands done. I'm going to need the same thing tomorrow because I have to prepare for Monday when we get new windows. I have a friend coming to help me move some of the bigger pieces of furniture, but I also need to remove some blinds we would like to keep.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I will keep updates coming as I get them.
