Well hello there, blogosphere. I missed you! I have no excuse for my lack of posting and commenting other than utter exhaustion. Who knew growing 2 babies at once was such hard work?
When last I updated I had just gone to the MFM for a check-up and everything looked good and they told me to come back in 4 weeks. Well, 4 weeks was up today so I was back in there. The babes are still doing very well - they're both head UP now (little stinkers) but they have been doing A LOT of repositioning lately (especially Zoe), so there's still plenty of hope they'll turn themselves back around in the next 4 weeks.
So, we decided how to decide on the anticipated C-section vs. vaginal delivery options. If they are both head down at 30 weeks, we will hold tight and attempt a vaginal delivery if nothing changes. If either of them are breech or transverse, we will schedule the C for 38 weeks (around February 17th-ish).
We tried getting a 3D ultrasound on Saturday, but neither baby was feeling particularly photogenic, so we are going back this coming Saturday to try again. We could tell that both babies have hair (gasp!). I am used to bald babies - this will take some adjusting for my psyche (luckily/hopefully I have several weeks to get my mind around it).
I think, unbelievably, that the ultrasounds are becoming anti-climactic. We had the 22nd one today, so that might have something to do with it. I asked Forest if he remembered those early scans where we were so excited to see that they had arms! and legs! and brains! I am just spoiled rotten now, huh?
I am pretty excited that we are now in the DOUBLE DIGIT countdown to 40 weeks! As of today, there are 99 days left!
And on that note, I am off to finish the work day so I can go home and nap!
Muah!
Amy
