After a night of rest (but not much sleep), we have been told by the new crew that the meds are doing exactly what we’re asking of them and now we wait.
I know. I know. Sounds a lot like the other updates, huh. Well, the doctors continue to remind us that we’re tricking the body to do something in 48 hours that usually takes a couple of weeks.
But Kirsten is finally getting more sleep. Gotta have plenty of rest for the pushing!!
Our room is super quiet and relaxing. I am reading all of your comments to Kirsten. She smiles and laughs at each one so keep them coming.
I will post as much as possible. As things progress, we will be moved to the OR to deliver. (All twin deliveries happen in the operating room.) I wonder if they get WiFi in there. “Um, nurse, do you know the MGH OR WiFi password?” Just kidding. Strict orders from the boss: No devices except the camera. 
All our love. And exercising patience.
Love,
K&G&?&?

The folks at 28 Elm Street are anxiously awaiting and so glad to hear Kirsten is sleeping. College has arrived, and the Cape crew is here. Lots of love to you!!! We are setting up the swing!

I had drinks with Kate M last night. She wishes you both well and is a little jealous that K-bomb lasted to 38!
Cubs lost yesterday so It totally makes sense why the Twinkies didn’t emerge….bad day at the ballpark.
Work has me all over the place today so I prob wont be generating 100 website hits like yesterday. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
GOOOOO Nelsons!

Damn it. We should have provided suggestions for hospital quiet time play-lists. Anything good on TV?
When we were visiting Dad for his hip surgery we watched a lot of Deadliest Catch. Man alive that tv show is addicting. I like Sig and the Northwestern. He’s a great captain. He would be a good birthing coach I think – although he’d smell like fish. I guess that’s the trade off.
What Not To Wear and Bridezillas are also somewhat addicting.

I’m back!! Long night, eh? I guess my 5am prediction was not such a good one. I’m sticking with 2 girls.
K looks great. The fact that she smiles for the camera is incredible. I would surely be punching frank in the face at this point.
How’s Wrigs? Is he nervous? Are dogs allowed in MGH? no?! Well, they should be.
TV show recs: Daily Show. Cobert. Tori & Dean. Real Housewives (and pretty much anything else on Bravo). Jeopardy. How’s that for a line-up.
Sending luv

Take it easy – the big push is coming.
Unfortunately my cell phone doesn’t work in this basement of College of DuPage where I am until 3 PM EDT. So I will keep trying to “take a break” once an hour or every half hour, if I can.
Lots of love,
Barb

The little buggers sure are taking their time – you must have a very comfortable womb, Kirsten! I’m dying with the suspense and can only imagine what you both are feeling.
This is obviously going to rock your world -and Wrigley’s too (Moco stayed downstairs for a week). Jared said that the OR at Beth Israel had a Bose sound system so he really enjoyed that part – he remembers all the songs they played. I was too afraid that I wasn’t breathing to even hear anything.
Can’t wait to meet the Nelson twins – I predict one of each.
Keep up the good work, K!!
Love – Bets
