not for the queasy and a trunk or treat



here are some pictures from the second reduction.  we had some more complications and were admitted over night.  i'll explain in the pictures.  

 this is the first reduction.  yummy eh?  don't mind the disgusting belly.
dr. haeri caught a little off guard.  great doctor.

all of these supplies for a reduction.  that's two one liter bottles sitting there.  we're going to try to fill em up.  

wondering the length of the needle there you go.  there is about an inch sticking out of my stomach, but the rest in in my gut.

Contraction pain.  my sweet nurse maxi.  

dr. bump holds the ultra sound probe while dr. haeri guides the needle.  looks pleasant huh?

this is what is left after the research lab takes what they want.  that red is because of placental bleeding.  he went in through my placenta this time.  

pip's heart rate dropped, and i had some major heart craziness going on too.  yay for oxygen all night long.  

getting the mag drip put up to stop contractions and labor.  it was a rough night, but we made it through.


Now to the trunk or treat.  the kids loved it.  it was good to get them out of the house.
