If she said you'll make it to at least 32 weeks, then I'm sure you'll make it to 36 weeks no problem.

You have given these babies such a healthy start that I'm sure they will quickly recover from an early birth. I hope they won't need to though. People keep thinking I'm crazy when I say that we need to plan for ours to come as early as March or April... Kick those feet up, girl, and take it easy. Thinking near full term baby thoughts for you.<br /><br />Ps. The party was moved to the 14th (Monday) and I'm too travelled out to make it. So bummed I won't get to see you before the babes arrive. If you go, would you mind telling my wife how important a lazyboy is. So far, she's not buying my arguement that a pregant girl NEEDS one... xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-27396190384383093682009-12-06T09:25:48.873-05:002009-12-06T09:25:48.873-05:00Wow.

You can easily still be that full-term 38 weeker popping out two full-sized babies that don't go to the NICU. That said, I'm sure it is a delicate balance between preparing for all scenarios and continuing to hope for the best. <br /><br />You are doing great! Glad the rocker arrived and extra glad you aren't trying to MOVE right now! :)<br />Hugs and love.tbeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845011825238450567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-45755266270576192672009-12-06T08:46:06.304-05:002009-12-06T08:46:06.304-05:00You must have been so worried with that test!

It makes sense. I have no clue what this whole cervical length thing is - I didn't know ones cervix was long! But I am glad everything else seems to be fine. I hope you continue to recline in your fabulous Uggs and stop all the running around. The swimming sounds restful and contemplative ( or will you be doing Olympic sprint<br /> laps? !! Lol!) <br />32 weeks sounds so soon but it's great that you asked the doc so you are both on the same page. <br />Good luck keeping those babes in your tummy for a good long while:)tireegal68https://www.blogger.com/profile/13943003575298698264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-63018702682531086952009-12-05T23:37:27.432-05:002009-12-05T23:37:27.432-05:00I'm right there with you on the hoping for the...I'm right there with you on the hoping for the best and knowing it may not work that way - so I try to look at every possibility and see what it might entail.

I went into the hospital the day before the birth class on c-sections. The good news is you don't have to do the c-section so it doesn't matter all that much if you:). You can never be prepared for the NICU but if you know you are going to deliver early you might want a tour of the NICU. We saw tours go through all the time and I wish we could have had one but I was too sick for that. The prospect of having a preemie is scary but you would be amazed at what can be done for even the littlest preemies. While it is scary at first those tiny babies get bigger. My 2 lb 5 oz 30 weeker is sleeping next to me weighing 12 lb 2 oz and is a happy wonderful girl. I hope you make it as close to term as you can. If you have any questions about preemies or the nicu feel free to email me genierster@gmail.comSupersammyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12747989985735407882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-31877222637213582212009-12-05T21:29:40.025-05:002009-12-05T21:29:40.025-05:00I was one of those people who didnt read the c sec...I was one of those people who didnt read the c section portion of the book because I didnt think I needed it. How quickly things changed, I had a breech baby, insulin dependent Gestational diabetes and a C section at 38 weeks. I also have one perfect little almost 10 month old! hugsDani Magestro https://www.blogger.com/profile/11625660841997711153noreply@blogger.com
