We are a GO for November 26th!!!!

We had our doctor's appointment this morning and everything went pretty well. I think I freaked myself out more than I should have. They decided to just do the amnio on Walker because boy's apparently mature slower than girls so they said if he was fine then Jocelyn should be fine also. The amnio wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Honestly, the IV hurt way worse. It was pretty interesting to watch in a crazy way. I could feel the needle going in while watching on the screen. Seeing it go through each layer towards the amniotic sac was just bizarre. Walker did real good and was still while they put the needle in. As soon as the DR started sucking up the fluid though Walker moved as far away as he could from that needle. Poor kid - probably thought someone was trying to suck him up. It was pretty fast though. I'd say maybe 2 minutes. Then they just cleaned me up and put a band-aid on. Then they monitored me and the babies. Their heart rates were great and they have been busy moving around. I was having contractions every 3-4 minutes. The DR was a little concerned (I think if it was my own DR he wouldn't have said anything because I just contract like crazy LOL). He said he wouldn't be surprised if I didn't make it to Wednesday before I had them. I don't know. I have a feeling they're staying put until Wednesday. I'd really like my own DR to deliver so I'm hoping so. Besides I think the dates work out perfectly for work/school. Anyway :-) I finally got the amnio results back and Walker was at a 52!! They wanted anything 50 or above to do the c-section on Wedn. They like it to be a 55 and they gain a point a day. SO - YAY! We are cleared for c-section on November 26th! I can't believe we're SO close! Not counting today (since it's almost over) and the day of we really only have 4 days to get through! WOW! We can do it!

YEAH!!! HOW EXCITING...YOUR LITTLE ONES WILL BE HERE IN UNDER A WEEK...OH MY GOODNESS!!! Just a little advice...get everything done this week that you can think of...once they're here you won't have time to even think! Even freeze some meals, so you don't have to worry about cooking. Great news that the amnio went well!
