Released!

I was released from the hospital today five years ago. It was March 24, 2002, and my contractions had stopped. I was directed to go on complete bedrest, which I was totally okay with. I just wanted my babies to stay there, cozy in my belly. I'd do anything to keep them there. Upon release, I noticed that I was quite swollen all over my body. I asked the nurse what that could be, and she told me it's probably because I had been in bed for three days. Nothing else was mentioned about my extreme swelling, and I had no idea that bloating like that is a sign of pre-eclampsia setting in. I went home and went straight to bed, and had a horrible night of sleep. If I only had known that in a mere 48 hours, my precious, teeny tiny babies were to be born.
