Thanks everyone...I only checked her once but I used a steril glove. I do not plan on doing it again, but I was actually testing the temp thing to see if it is accurate for my girl... I have a close relative in the hospital with Luekemia and my father's birthday tomorrow and I am so afraid that I am going to miss something if I leave so I was hoping I would have some positive sign of how close she is so that I am home for sure... My husband is here but I am not sure that he will be able to handle it...Right now she will not leave my side but she is resting so I will just have to rearrange things so that I can stay home at all times until these babies get here....Thanks for everyone's help...I know I need to relax but I do not do good under pressure...lol....
