Birth Day?

Well, we kept telling the universe "Just Let Us Make It To Aquarius." Damn, that universe listens and is timely.

My blood levels are deteriorating and going in the direction of HELLP.

Induction will start within....an hour or so? I'm scared to death of the induction because I've just not heard too many encouraging stories of being induced while still not dilated and having the vaginal birth outcome successful.

Nevertheless, these twins are vertex/vertex for a reason so I am going to give it my best shot.
I have the option to say STOP and go to a C-section anytime I want.

Someone's coming to give me an IV now and move me to Labor and Delivery. It's been quite the morning.

I'm in SHOCK. Chicken is on her way here. We are having babies....today? Soon!

I need to go find my ZEN place, it seems to have disappeared.

xoxo,
Almost Mama Pufferfish

good luck!! my partner was induced when not dilated at all and had an amazing vaginal birth. i had an amazing c-section birth (scheduled well in advance). either way you go, those babies safe arrival at the end will make the process of them getting here seem totally insignificant. sending you lots of peace and strength on this final leg of your journey to meet your babes!!

Oh my goodness! Good luck! It'll be however it needs to be to get those babies out happy & healthy. Soon you'll be holding those little fishies in your arms, not your belly!
Hooray!!

Rachel said...

Can't wait till you post that the babies have arrived. I hope the induction goes well, but it really won't matter either way once you have 2 sweet, snugly babies in your arms.

Not that you'll get this in time, but though I knew we were doing the right thing, I was so nervous whentold we were inducing pre-term. But (I haven't written it out yet) it went amazingly. I hope that right now you are having the same experience, and I can't wait to meet the fishies!

indigoscot said...

good luck!!! can't believe your twins are going to be here before our wee man!! dp is 40+4 today. just stay calm. pitocin is very evil, so you need to keep focused. you can do it. :)

Find your Zen and do your best, that's all you can do. Babies will make their way into your world on their own terms!

I'm sure you are scared and nervous (I know I was when it all happened so quickly) just stay strong and know that once its over, you will have two wrinkled lil babies to complete your family.

I'm so excited for you... I'm wishing you all the best and will be thinking of you as you make your way into motherhood.

Mommy D said...

Good Luck, Good Luck! All will be great! You are gonna be a mommy very shortly!!!!!

Baby Smiling In Back Seat said...

I kept telling the universe to let us make it to October, and with a lot of intervention my twins made it there plus two extra days, born at 33w4d.

Good luck with labor, delivery, and everything else! It's quite the life to have newborn twins.
