Baby A (boy) has been head down since 20 weeks, which is a very good thing, because we may be able to avoid a c-section! Baby B (girl) is breech, but more than half of the doctors at our practice are experienced with either turning a Baby B after a Baby A has been delivered, or doing a breech extraction. So, induction is the way we will go as long as they remain in their current positions or unless they decide to come on their own before October 4!
Everything is going very well, thus far. All doctor's appointments, blood draws/tests, ultrasounds, growth scans (basically a mini anatomy scan every 4 weeks), and non-stress tests (2x a week starting at 32 weeks to ensure the placentas are nourshing properly) has been normal. Things can change in an instant with a twin pregnancy (or with any pregnancy, for that matter), so we are in no way out of the woods, but all signs are showing that these 2 shouldn't have any problem making it to full term. So, we will continue to pray that that is the case and that they continue to bake a little longer!
The last few weekends have been spent getting prepared. The nursery is complete. The cradle is put together. AND, most importantly, we were able to figure out a way to fit 3 carseats in the middle row of our Traverse, and only had to purchase 1 additional infant carseat to do so! yay! So, other than packing our hospital bags (which should probably get done in the next week or so), we are pretty much ready for these two!
Here are some pictures showing the nursery prep, finished nursery, arts and crafts, and the twin belly in all its glory!
