Week 35

I thought for sure I would be dilated some today but no such luck. My doctor has scheduled my c-section for August 13 at 7:30 am. I think I am going to have two big healthy babies. That is great! I just pray that I will last that long. I am SO uncomfortable.

Week 34

I thought my doctor might set up a time to have these babies, but no such luck. I am not dilated and my blood pressure is good. He asked me if I was at the crying stage yet of being miserable. I told him yes!!! I am so uncomfortable. He said we will keep going for at least another three weeks unless I go into labor on my own. I wanted to cry then.

Now, I am asking for your prayers. At the last ultrasound, they found a small cyst on Jordan's adrenal gland. My doctor said he did not want me to worry about this. He said he had to tell me because he wants me to know what he knows. They won't do anything until she is born and then the pediatrician will check things out. My prayer is that the cyst won't be there when she is born. It is hard not to worry, but in my heart I know she is going to be okay. We live by faith, and not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7

Nursery

Here are some pictures of the nursery.

Ultrasound Number 4

The babies are definitely growing according to our ultrasound yesterday. It is very hard to see what is going on. My tech said she was having a hard time telling who was who. She looked around for a while, and then she had them figured out. Based on the measurements taken, he is 5lbs 10 oz and she is 4 lbs 8 oz. That is over 10 lbs of baby! They are still breech. I can tell because their heads are right by my ribs. This picture is pretty neat. You can see both of their heads. The hand and the foot belong to Baby B (boy).

33 Weeks

I am getting really big now. I can't sleep at night because I am so miserable. My doctor said that is preparing me for when the twins arrive. I agreed. No other changes this week. I will post the ultrasound results after Friday. We will see how much they have grown in three weeks.

Church Shower

I had another great shower at The Remnant Church. What a wonderful group of ladies! They help me remember that God is in charge of this pregnancy. Their support is greatly appreciated.

32 Weeks

I made it to 32 weeks. My doctor said that I had grown a lot in the last week. I measured full term today. He will no longer stop labor, and he said I could be worthless at home. Shannon is going on his last fishing trip (for a while) this next week. He is hoping that the babies stay put until after the 18th. I don't know how much more I can handle, but I am hoping they stay put until at least the last week in July. Only God knows when they will arrive, and that will be in His perfect timing.

31 Weeks

My doctor's appointment was short and sweet today. My doctor said that since the boys measurements were a little bigger than the girls, we will have another ultrasound done on July 17. He wants to make sure she keeps growing. He is not at all worried. He is just doing a good job monitoring them. They are still breech. More than likely, I will have a cesarean. I am feeling pretty miserable, but I know it will be worth it when I see those precious angels.
