I visited my favorite place again today, Labor and Delivery.
I'm home now and at the hospital we confirmed... yes, I am getting sicker. duh. Sick enough to stay in the hospital? no. I'm starting to think you have to be on death's doorstep to warrant a longer term stay.
The good news is that we have a pretty solid plan set up. I will return on Friday and we will begin the delivery plans. As in, we could have babies on Friday! We are planning on first attempting an induction with a c-section as a backup. We could get pushed back until Monday, but it won't be any longer than that.
We expect the girls to be totally healthy, there is no indication of any need for NICU level care at this point. A pediatrician today said that if we had them today they would stay and grow for maybe 10 days. So, if we had them in a few days, maybe they would only stay for a week, or less! There is no way to predict, but we are certainly hopeful.
For now, please pray that my body responds to induction and I can avoid major surgery!

As always, you all are in my prayers....hang in there...
Oh Goodness! You are such a trooper! This will be happening very soon and before you know it you'll be thinking back to the days when the girls made no noise in the warm of your belly! Though the headache and stress seem to be equivalent.
On another note, I'll be in town this weekend and would love the chance to see you, Dan and possibly the girls! I promise to keep my visit short and to bring whatever you may need! I'll be in touch and praying in the mean time that everything goes as smoothly as possible...Lord knows you've had a tough pregnancy and you deserve a break! Love ya!
I have you in my thoughts! I wish you the best for a happy delivery! A c-section is probably the last thing you want when you'll have two little babies to look after and love on! hugs and kisses to you and dan! we'll keep thinking about you!
