Our appointments with the doctor are once a week now and she wants us to go to the Birth Center at the hospital to be monitored twice a week. We found out last week after a test that I have a mild case of preeclampsia, thus the extra monitoring. Sunday when we were done with another session of the monitoring we talked with our doctor when told us that she thinks the girls will defiantly be born in less than 3 weeks. Which is before their due date. A piece of good news that she told us at our appt last week is that twins mature faster than singletons and when something such as the preeclampsia adds a little stress to them they take it as the green light to speed it up so they can be born sooner but still safe. Today we officially hit the 35 week mark at which point the girls are able to be born locally rather than the hospital about an hour away.
We've come a long way in the last year, Sat the 9th marked the year anniversary of our miscarriage and here we are soon to be holding twins. God does work in mysterious ways.
I'm about half ready to have the girls. It is easier to take care of them right now but my belly is now measuring 45 cm, gets in the way and is feeling heavy. Besides who wouldn't be ready to hold the girls. We see the doctor again tomorrow then another ultrasound on Wed. We're really looking forward to seeing how big they've gotten and how they sit. Hoping that Baby A has moved head down rather than breech.
Going to try to keep up to date....
