In for the duration?

This morning, the doctors came in and said Jen is doing fine.  they want to keep her in the hospital because hospital bedrest is more effective than home bedrest, since you do stuff at home that you wouldn't in the hospital...like make yourself lunch, etc.  So, they think she'll be there for a while.  We don't know if that's one week or three weeks.  apparently, she's not allowed to take nifedipene after 34 weeks (which is Sunday night), so if that is what is keeping her bp low, and her contractions under control, maybe we'll see some movement Monday. 
Also, 34 weeks is where there's a chance that the baby won't have a nicu stay, and can go to the nursery and then home.  So, we're kind of hoping to git 'r done and have the baby early next week.
