Hi Everyone,
Well, this will be my last doctor's appt update - hopefully the
next one will be all about the arrival of our girls!
On Monday we had an NST and the girls did great - Baby A
cooperated very nicely this time! The nurse doing the test was one of my
nurses when Zachary was born. It was good to see her again under happier
circumstances.
On Tuesday, I saw my doctor for a regular appt. My bp was
up again (big surprise!), but since it had been good all week with the
visiting nurse, my doc wasn't worried. She still can't believe I've made
it to 36 1/2 weeks with twins and my cervix is still unchanged and I'm still
doing so well! She is excited about the girls' arrival on Friday, too!
Today we had our last level 2 u/s and the girls are looking
great! They estimated Baby A to be 8 lbs. 13 oz. and Baby B to be 8 lbs.
2 oz. - WOW! No wonder my back hurts so much! :-) It will be
interesting to see how close the estimates are to their actual weights on
Friday.
Tomorrow I have my pre-op consult and bloodwork and then Friday
is the big day - we can't wait! We have to be at the hospital at 7:30
a.m. and the c-section is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. They'll keep me in the
hospital for 4-5 days and as long as the girls are healthy, we should all be
home by the middle of next week.
Buddy will send out an update as soon as he can and let you
know how we are all doing.
We want to thank you all again for all the support,
encouragement, positive thoughts and prayers. You have all helped us
make it through the last 8 months - now we just need to get through the next
day and a half!
Buddy will update the web site with the new u/s pics either
tonight or tomorrow night. We have been working on revising the girls'
web site for after they arrive and it is just about done. We'll get some
pics of them up as soon as we can and send out the new address.
We hope everyone is doing well. Take care!
Love,
Denise and Buddy, Parents of Zachary Michael b/2 7/26/99 and
Little Girls c/s 8/18/00
