both twins are doing well! i have passed my glucose screening which i was nervous about. they planned my c section for 10/27 so if i make it that long that is when they will be born! they are growing just right =] i am 27 weeks and 5 days and getting huge!

 

I went to my specialist today and had an ultrasound! Both boys are doing great!!! Baby A is 1lb 9oz and Baby B is 1lb 11oz.!!!!! I love seeing my boys growing healthy and strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I had an NST today. Both babies passed right away, I was contracting alot, in a pattern, 1 100 intensity then 2 40 intensity, over and over, BUT it wasn't a labor pattern. Hoping that this is doing something to my cervix. I will find out tomorrow at my 37wk ob appt

 

had my 37wk ob appt today, i am 4cm and 90%effaced. hoping to go soon!

thursday i have an NST if i am still pregnant, friday an ob appt to strip my membranes if I am still pregnant, and then we agreed to a gentle induction (stripping membranes and breaking the water) if I am still pregnant on sunday

 

I had my 21 week check up on Monday and U/S. I am so relieved to see that both babies are doing great eventhough I only gained 4 lbs since the beginning of my pregnancy (after loosing 9 lbs in the first trimester...) Baby A is 13 oz and baby B is 14oz so perfect! Right on track!!Going back in 4 weeks...

 

Had my bi-weekly OB appt. yesterday.

The babies heart rates are great and I am doing well...2 lb. weight loss after my marathon gain over the last 27 weeks. For whatever reason morning sickness/queasiness? has kicked in for the last week. Blech.

We talked about NST/BPP appointments starting soon...not sure when. Will find out at my next ultrasound with MFM in a few weeks.

Also talked about delivery and the arrival of the babies 'by the end of October at the latest'.

WOW. There will come a time when I am no longer pregnant!? and the babies will have arrived. Amazing to think about.

:grouphug: to everyone!

 

had my last NST today and baby b decided to make it memorable.

he failed the NST, then failed an HOUR long BPP. They made me go eat and come back and thankfully he passed the second NST. Needless to say I am exhausted, my belly is very sticky, and I am so happy to be done with NSTs. I am sad that stripping my membranes on tuesday didn't really work since I am still sitting here, but my ob is going to strip them tomorrow morning so hopefully that will work this time. although you would think with me being 4cm 90% effaced it would have worked lmbo.

babies are just way too comfy

 

Had my 30wk check-up, have to have a 3 hr gluclose screen Monday :wacko: But baby is measuring good(31wks), head is down, hope he ends up that way when it counts, and I've lost 6lbs. They're not really concerned about the weight loss because I had a big gain at the beginning before losing baby B(RIP Jacob) So all and all, all is well :silly:

 

30 week check today. Baby A still breech (is he ever gonna turn?!), Baby B vertex. Both measuring slightly more than 3lbs which is really great. Water levels good. Not very significant weight gain but it went to the babies anyway.

Cervix measured high and between 2.5cm-3cm which is greeeaaatt. I think I can make it to 37 weeks! I agreed to get 2 doses of steroid jabs "just in case." It's really a PITA. lol. I have to go back in the morning to get my 2nd dose.

BABY A PLEASE FLIP!!!
