The girls finally arrived at 7:47 pm on June 29th 2009. It was a long and stressful ordeal. We arrived Sunday at 4:00 pm with Christine having hard contractions. They eased up again later in the day and we thought another false alarm. Thinking they were going to just send us home again. Our Dr. called for another 2 hour monitor before sending us away. That was a great call by her. Christines contractions started up again and she dilated to 3cm with hard contractions. She was admitted that night and given some pain medicine to help her sleep (I wish I could have had some too!). In the morning contractions continued and active labor began. I will just give a quick skim and let her tell the full story later. She received 2 epiderals because the first didnt work. There was a problem with the pushing later in the day and it turned into a c-section. They came in the room quickly and took her out. She ended up having a panic attack in the OR and they had to put her to sleep for the surgery. The girls were born soon after and there screams echoed down the hall.

belly shots....

so, here are some embarassing belly shots... i am sure they don't bother you like they do me! anyhow, if you have yet to hear, they are planning on taking me off the pump on tuesday, so the girls will probably come pretty quickly after that! it will be 34 weeks on tuesday!!!

a little delay....

so... ive been slacking!!!! i was released from the hospital a week from last monday. i got approved for a pump that releases terbutaline into my leg throughout the day, and then gives me bolus doeses (larger doeses) every three hours. anyhow, i was really lucky that our insurance actually picked up 100% of this. i have to use a contraction monitor twice a day and send in the results. i have nurses i talk to after i send in the results and they are there to answer any questions i may have. its pretty cool, actually!

tomorrow (friday) we are going to have our weekly NST (non-stress test), "mini" ultrasound (where they just measure amnoitic fluid, practice breathing, etc. without doing measurements) and then a doctors visit. we will find out more about what they plan on doing. one of the nurses said they normally take people off the pump at 34 weeks -so we will pick their brains to find out what they are planning on doing. it does depend upon the doctor though. they all have different opinions- there are 4 in the practice. we don't have any real answers as of yet, but whenever i am taken off this pump i will go into labor. i messed up a dose and had 8 contractions in a half hour. so, it will be very interesting to see what happens.

im really really nervous about the actual delivery. im not scared about the girls really, but more scared about how i handle it. im just really scared of both vaginal and c-section! which is another thing- we don't know which way they will go. all the nurses in the hospital said these doctors love c-sections. both girls are head down as of the last ultrasound. so, we will see.....
