So, I'm not into posting lots and lots of updates every day, but things have changed enough since this morning, that it's worth another update this afternoon. Basically, as of this morning, I thought for sure we'd have babies by this afternoon. But I don't feel that way now.
The doctor has had all kinds of restrictions and orders for Skye - like not eating food for the last 48 hours or so (I know it's to prevent the possibility of aspiration, but how can not eating for 2 days be helpful to anyone?!). After some discussion with the doctor (where she admitted that the hospital is not a prison and that they can't stop Skye from doing what she wants), Skye (with help from her mom) took it upon herself to do a bunch of things she wasn't supposed to do. She took a shower, she ate food (the doctor later gave her permission to eat) and now she's a completely different person. She's calm, relaxed and doesn't look like a woman about to go into labor. So, at this point, who knows - maybe she won't be having babies today. Only time will tell. But things are looking much better than they were this morning.

Thanks for the updates. I know that at times like this, keeping everyone updated is not high on the list. As well, it shouldn't be. I am so glad that Skye did what she wanted and NEEDED. I am not anti doctor but for every procedure and surgery and labor I have been through I have been advised to not wear my insulin pump. It never turnnd out well. I am finally at the point where I tell them that I AM going to wear it and they can't stop me and it has always turned out better because I know my body. We'll all keep praying for all of you. Is there anything at all we can do from a distance?
So true! I kind of feel like a jerk when I defy a doctor's specific orders, but at some point you have to do what you know you need to.
