Jessica is in the Hospital
/Jessica is at NYU hospital having contractions. We have been here for about 30 hours. She and the babies are fine! Her blood pressure is a little high. The doctors feel like the delivery is inevitable within the next week. This is typical and happens to about 60% of twin pregnancies. They are giving Jess a steroid shot to ensure the lungs are mature because we are at 34 weeks (37 weeks is considered full term for twins). The babies heartrates are being constantly monitored. They have decelerated a few times. If the deceleration happens more often or becomes more severe then they will take the babies out. They would like the babies to stay in for another week but we are ready if they don't. This really is not a big deal, everything will be fine. I will write again when there is more to report.

Brooklyn Botanic Garden
/We paid a visit to Brooklyn Botanic Gardens on Sunday for the start of Hanami, the Cherry Blossom Festival. Apparently we were early, as there was only one tree in bloom. However, there are lots of other beautiful plants to look at. I think we will be heading back there later in the Spring or Summer when more plants are in bloom. Check out the pictures in the Photo Gallery.
