Well....WE MADE IT TO 35 WEEKS!!!! 
This was my goal!!
I honestly didn't think I would make it this far and can't say it enough how proud I am of myself to have  survived the past 9 months pregnant with twins with NO bed rest after SO many people kept saying "I bet you end up on bed rest" HA nope!! Of course I didn't not have any issues-but I didn't have any MAJOR issues that a lot of women who have twins went through!!

Here's what happened yesterday and the news of whats to come!!-

Yesterday I had my weekly doctors appointment. Jimmy was able to come with me-he has only been to ONE doctors appointment with me when I was 12 weeks along so I was happy!! I had to see my "just in case" doctor because my doctor went home on leave{she'll be back in office on Monday-thank god!!} So I had to go over a lot with him and update him on whats been going on. After them taking my blood pressure a few times and getting elevated readings each time I could see the concern on his face. He went over my head aches that I have been having so he said regardless I was going to labor and delivery for an NST. He went over the growth ultrasound from last week and was concerned about the weight difference-since they have been pretty close in weight up until now it was a concern. So they sent me to the lab to give urine and blood and also receive my 24 hour urine collection can{ugh}
I then got admitted to labor and delivery for an NST and to be monitored. I had doctors and nurses coming in and out asking tons of questions. It got a bit nerve wrecking because it was starting to look like I was going to deliver the babies then!! Thankfully a random doctor came in and assured us that we were not-not unless my labs were outrageous! My just in case doctor came in and talked to us about the weight difference and said because it is a big difference they have to deliver early. BUT being early he meant no later then 37 weeks 0 days- so he said if I don't have these babies by July 25th I will deliver on the 25th!!! THe ultrasound they did yesterday showed BOTH babies BREECH :( So they actually scheduled a c-section. Since they know how I am aiming for a vaginal delivery they won't make me have the c-section if baby A decides to turn back by delivery. But if not I will be having my first{and last} c-section. I was VERY bummed about the thought of it at first but after thinking about it, I'm ok. I have had 3 successful natural vaginal deliveries-I will get to experience both sides of delivery. As much as I don't want it-it looks like it may be the only option. And yes I know some women deliver both babies breech but my hospitals policy will ONLY allow baby B to be delivered breech. So I'm not going to fight it and work myself up over it. What happens. happens. Like I said I have already had 3 natural vaginal deliveries I'm ok with the thought of a possible c-section now. I am TERRIFIED of the recovery. With the girls I literally jumped out of bed after having them and was good to go, so this will definitely be a change. So please pray they little lady does flip and goes head down for delivery!! She has 13 days max to turn her little hiney!! But regardless c-section or vaginal delivery if these babies hang on they will be here on July 25th at some point during the day!! I was able to go home yesterday after hours of being there and starving-but I have my 24 hour urine collection and have to go back tomorrow!!

Im really excited that I am where I am-the threat of NICU time is wearing out and I can deliver at my naval hospital now if I do go into labor!!! Just praying they are healthy!!


13 DAYS LEFT MAX!!!
