Internet update: Ok Folks, We are back up and running with internet and blog capability. Yahoo! I brought my laptop since Caroline's quit working. If you need to email her, use her hotmail which is lytle_caroline@hotmail.com.
Room update: We moved to room 303 which is a semi-private room but we do NOT have a roomate which is nice. Caroline and I have shared a twin bed the last 2 nights. Me, Caroline, a big belly and a body pillow all on a twin.
Baby update: No baby yet. We continue the baby stress tests (twice/day) and so far she seems to be doing fine with very little fluid to move around in. This morning we had another ultrasound to look at Caroline's amniotic fluid levels and the blood flow to the baby. As we told you on Thursday, she was a 3. Today she was a 3 again and the blood flow looked good. So, no C-section this weekend which they were starting to discuss with us.
So, our new goal is 34 weeks. Eliza will be 33 weeks tomorrow. We'll continue to do stress tests everyday and ultrasounds every 2-3 days to measure fluids. The FFN test was negative this week so she wants to stay in there for 2 more weeks. A NICU doctor came down today to tell us what to expect when she comes. He said that if she comes at 34 weeks, then she'll probably be in there 2-4 weeks. Regardless, if Caroline somehow makes 35 weeks they will automatically do a C-section. So we will for sure have a baby within 2 weeks. We will be in the hospital until Eliza comes.
Caroline is doing well and she even got her nails painted pink tonight. Our room phone doesn't work for some reason so cell phones will be the best way to call. And hopefully we can keep blogging!!
Thanks for all of your prayers for the baby, Caroline and me too! We are really blessed b/c we have 2 great Doctors and the L&D (that's Labor & delivery) nurses are awesome!
Tomorrow, we have a tour of the NICU to look forward to. So, goodnight to all and hopefully we can post tomorrow.

Eric,
Kyla and I are pulling for you. We know how hard this is for you guys. Just know that we are praying for all of you. Eliza has stayed in there this long, maybe she will hang in there for a few more weeks!
One thing is for certain, we all know the baby is going to be loved. Just know that once the baby is here, it will all be worth it.
All our love,
Albin, Kyla, and Thomas
You guys are a testament to marrage. I bet if you guys could swing it Miss Suzy would somehow curl up right w/ you guys. I am picturing a bed similar to the clown car--everyone all piled in.
Love you guys-
Jaime & Tom
LOL about the clown car. Good one, JP!
