Ames’ water broke an hour ago. I will not be leaving the hospital until I deliver both babies. I am having contractions. I am losing my mind.
Puns Proven Insufficient.

My thoughts are with you Alexa, hang in there….
My thoughts are with you all tonight. I’m not the praying type, but I’m sending pleading thoughts your way. I can’t believe this is happening. Stay strong, Alexa. We all love you!
Oh sweetie! Dammit! This wasn’t supposed to happen now!
I will be thinking of you and worrying. All my thoughts are with you and yours.
Oh no! Oh bloody hell. I’ll be thinking of you, hoping for you.
A complete stranger is hoping very hard for you and Simone.
Thinking of you.
I am praying for you, hard.
All I’ve got is yours. Hoping HARD for you and Simone.
me too, me too, oh, all the best, Alexa, good luck
Oh, my dear.
Holding your hand.
I am sending positive thoughts your way. Praying that they stay put. Stop contractions, stop!
I just want you to know that it is possible to stay pregnant after one twin ruptures. Twin A ruptured for me at week 26 and I was able to keep them in until 28weeks 3 days. I will say that it isn’t pleasant to do so–I was on major antibiotics, IV, terbutaline and mag (alternating periodically and as frequently as every hour–what fun), among other things–but possible.
I pray that you can do something similar or more!
Take care of yourself and know that we are rooting for you.
Hoping and praying for you.
Holy shit! I know you’ll do great. Best wishes.
Oh no, Alexa, no. I am hoping so very hard for you and Simone. Every minute of the day.
Thinking of you and Scott, and hoping that you get through this.
Pesky kids, they are well known for not listening to their mothers!
At least you were already there in the best place you could be, and hopefully some brilliant doctor can help Simone stay put for a little longer.
Hoping and wishing and praying for you all.

Hang in there-thinking every good thought for you and Simone. You’re not alone.
Alexa,
You and Simone are in my prayers. Hang in therem we are all routing for you. Sending lots of love your way.
I will think of you and Scott and Simone without ceasing.
Bloody hell…
Alexa, Scott & Simone you are in my prayers… Simone you need to stay put a while longer. I know it’s not quite as cushy, but you need to stay put.
Hang in there – sending stay put thoughts your way.
oh alexa. this is not the news i was hoping for at all. i will be hoping that you stabilize and simone can stay put a while longer. i’m so, so sorry that you are going through this.
hoping, hoping, hoping.
Alexa and hubby,
You are all in our thoughts today and we’re sending you all of the positive power, energy, and strength throughout the day, evening, and weeks to come.
Oh thank heavens you’ve had the steroid shots.
Do ask the docs (I’m sure you have already) about trying to keep simone in a bit longer. it sounds as if it might be possible. hoping very very hard for all of you.
Oh, no. I’m so sorry Alexa.
I’m holding my breath for all of you….. and just hoping so much that you can get stable for simone, with help. hang in there..
Alexa, I’ll be thinking and hoping hard for you and Scott and Simone and Ames today and in the coming weeks. You’re all so strong and you’re not alone.
Much love to you.
I will be praying for you, Scott and Simone.
I am so glad you had the steroid shots and so, so hopeful for you, your husband, and your tiny Simone.
Hi Alexa, it’s me again. I’m thinking of you and came back to say what I meant to say, when I politely wrote “I’m so sorry…”
What I want to say is that I’m pissed off for you, just plain effing mad. You get pregnant with twins, and just when you get to the point where you’ve accepted it – heck, even look forward to it – something like this happens, and you have to run this gauntlet.
I’ve run this gauntlet. Different details and mechanics and catastrophe, but the same. And it’s just not fucking fair. But I want you to know that even though you’re just trying to keep it together, right in the middle of it – you are not alone. You’ve got snakes growing out of your head now, having lost Ames. And at least one other medusa is here with you. For me to find others who had been through the same thing, well, the relief of being able to take off my hat and be welcomed and understood… just relief.
I don’t presume so much right now, but I just want you to know that, as much as I wish I only had sympathy and didn’t really, truly ‘get it’, I do. And I can tell you that you’ll find reserves of strength to get through this.
Praying, in my own way, for Simone, and here for you.
Kate
Oh dear, Alexa. I am so sorry and vehemently hopeful for you and Simone.
We’re here for you, holding you all close.
I said a little prayer for you and Simone.
Oh my god. I’m hoping so hard, even praying my little atheist prayers, that things work out for you guys.
Oh Alexa, praying so hard for you all.
Hang in there,Simone. Literally.
Thinking of you.
I’m on my knees for you both. I’ll be thinking of you all day.
xo
I’m here hoping and praying for you. Even though a long hospital stay sounds horrible, I hope you have a long one with Simone tucked safely away inside.
I’ll be thinking about you and Simone.
Prayers have been said. Thinking of you.
And I thought the worst thing about this weekend was Hillary not winning South Carolina…….. from a stranger in the midwest, sending positive thoughts and vibes.
As ever, I’ll be thinking of you all. I hope Simone decides the uterus is vastly better than this big, wide world for awhile longer.
Nothing witty to add… just wanted to say that I’m thinking of all of you.
My positive thoughts are with you all today. Stay strong.
Oh, Alexa, I don’t know if there is anything I can say to make you feel better…but know that we are all here, thinking of your family, we love you. My prayers are with all of you right now.
You are in my thoughts and prayers (even if I don’t delurk to say it often enough).
Waiting for your next update.
Oh hon. I know you’re not the praying type, but I am, and I’ll be praying for you and your family.
sending all sorts of hope and luck and love from the internet void.
I’m willing Simone to stretch out her little arms and legs and stay right where she is. Hold on, little girl.
Oh no. I am thinking of you all and hoping for the best possible outcome.
Come on, Simone, hang IN there! Please.
