Well everyone... we made it! Thirty six weeks! How awesome is that! Babies looked good at the appointment yesterday. A was practicing her breathing so much the tech was having a hard time getting her heartbeat! Which was 154 by the way. They measured her in at 5lb 3 ounces but can't be sure if that is correct because her head is locked so far down in my pelvis they could barely get a glimpse of her. The only issue with this is that I saw her hand on top of her head... not a great position to be pushed out in. I will talk with the people on Tuesday (or sooner) when I go in to have them and make sure this is ok. I don't want to dislocate her shoulder!
B measured in at 5lb 1 oz... and get this. SHE FLIPPED... AGAIN! Unbeliveable actually. They could not believe she flipped once let alone twice! They are ordering an ultrasound to check positions before we induce and make sure she hasn't done anything too crazy. She passed her BPP ultrasound with flying colors too and it looks like they will be born nice and healthy :)
We go in at 7am on Tuesday morning to get set up for delivery. They said it will probably take an hour to get that process started. Tom's mother has graciously offered to watch Abby for us and she will be coming up Monday mid day if all goes as planned. This is so nice... I won't have to be alone all day before we deliver! (Tom has to work) We probably won't be going to church tomorrow. I don't want to chance getting sick. I think Abby caught her recent virus from the nursery again. It's the only place we can think of where she might have gotten it. I would just rather be safe than sorry.
I'm going to deliver these babies vaginally but I think that I'm going to opt for the epidural just in case. There is a greater chance for an emergency c-section with this pregnancy and I don't want to miss the birth of one or both of my babies because I'm 'knocked out.' Of course this is purely my intention, anything can happen :)
But honestly I think that is about it. We are counting down the days and trying to stay busy so that the days don't draaaaaaaaaaag. Today will probably be the hardest for me because Tom has to work till 4. The rest of the weekend we should be busy thankfully.
Thanks for all of the prayers! God has answered so many prayers for us throughout this pregnancy and has watched over our little girls. We can't wait to meet them and share them all with you. Please continue to pray for a safe delivery and fat healthy babies!
