That headline would probably be funnier if Kevin Nealon actually read it aloud when you clicked on the link... which bring me to my next point "Germans love David Hasselhoff" - and now the two people who got that joke are laughing and everyone else is looking to move ahead and read about Maggie and Wyatt!
Maggie's had a pretty good couple of days being off the Magnesium. Although still experiencing some contractions they are being managed by meds through a pump - much like my insulin pump and she has taken to calling us "twins". Right, just like that stupid movie with the Governor of California and the guy from Throw Mama From the Train (yes, I know it's Danny Devito - but I felt the need to throw out some random information). I digress.
She has a monitor attached for an hour every four hours or so that measure Wyatt's heartbeat and man is he ever an active little guy! The doctors seem encouraged by the ultrasounds and we just continue to play the waiting game.
As I woke up early for band rehearsal for church I found myself driving up 37 to go home and feed our dogs. The recurring thought to me was that we made it another day! Another 24 hours! And, the longer we keep this up the better off he is!
An unfortunate side effect of all of this has raised concern in our minds of being responsible pet owners and through much deliberation we've decided to adopt out our miniature dachshund, Angus. He's a wonderful dog, but we know he deserves more than life in a crate 18 to 20 hours a day. We have a family in mind and will be contacting them early this coming week. Trust me, it breaks our hearts and it's not something we want to do, but rather something we need to do in the best interest of Maggie and Wyatt for when they do come home. Riley, our beagle will be staying with us - she's just a docile, low maintenance cuddler that will be good for Maggie once she's home.
As I write this the contractions have picked up a little and we're awaiting a visit from the doctor. Appropriately enough "Tombstone" is on TV this afternoon - and we're just hanging out.
Thank you to everyone for your prayers, support, and visits to see us. Thank you in advance for your continued support.
Chris (Maggie and Wyatt)
