Shannon,
Congratulations on keeping the babies in so long. The waiting is soooo hard! I was on bedrest for 6 loooong weeks after leaking fluid at 24 weeks. My doc was afraid of infection too but luckily it never happened. I had to have a cerclage to keep my little Miles in. He was born at 30 weeks and was only on the vent for 1 day! I had 4 sets of steroid shots too. They are the miracle for preemie lungs. He's now a whopping 22 lb healthy 17 mos old bundle of joy with opinion of his own! Keep up the good work keeping the babies inside! I remember feeling so anxious I thought I would pop just from the stress. Good luck, it sounds like the babies are doing great!
