MONDAY MONDAY!!!!

Unless they plan on surprising us, We have to be at the hospital at 5AM Monday June 1. I will then have a C-Section at 7AM and by 8AM those precious little angels will be here! We will be at the big DCH in Tuscaloosa. So Dan and I will have to enjoy the next few days just us and sleeping ALL through the night, because after Monday, we wont get to do that again!

Turn Around

Baby "B" has turned head down AGAIN. However, she has turned soo many times that the Dr has pretty much decided we will do a C-Section. I went to the Dr today, hoping I might have more of a scheduled date, I didn't get a date written down on the calendar, but got more than nothing at all. My blood pressure was high, but no protein in my urine which is good(no protein) and bad(hypertension is not the best to have ). However, I am retaining fluid, which isn't very good, especially when I went to the Dr last week I had lost 3 lbs, go back today and gained 7lbs!!! NOT COOL!!! My feet and hands are pretty bad, and I am slowly starting to notice that my face is swelling some too! So I am on "strict" bed rest until Thursday. I go back to the Dr then, if nothing has really changed and I'm still retaining fluid, BP is still kinda high, he said that he MIGHT go ahead and put me in the hospital either Thursday or Friday! And it also doesn't help the situation that I still haven't dilated either! SOOOOO you know, I have done very well up until now, and pray I continue to do well, but I am just ready for it to be over and Aubrey and Lainey to be here! Please continue to keep us all in your prayers!

How Much Longer???

To help all of you wondering, we could have babies here at anytime, but do we know that exact time??? NO. Am I miserable??? VERY! I go back to the Dr on Tuesday UNLESS I go into labor before then, but the rate we are going right now, don't see that happening. I am going to have to be firm on Tuesday and tell my Dr, something has got to give! lol They plan on doing another ultrasound to see if the "hard headed" baby has turned again, or if she is still in the breached position. Dan and I say if she is still breached, we pretty much know I'll have to have a C-section, stop making us wait and just get something scheduled!!! So just please pray if nothing has happened by Tuesday, that the Dr schedules something, or Dan and I might go crazy, because where Dan works is on shut down for a month starting Friday, so I have been bored out of my mind for a week with just me at home, we might kill each other if we are both stuck in the house together with nothing to do! Hopefully not, but I am pregnant, and my hormones have no mercy! lol

Could we possibly have a hard headed child?!?

I do not think I have ever mentioned that Baby "B" for the longest time has been in the breached position. My Dr had said if by a certain time she hadn't turned that more than likely I would have a c-section . Well at the last ultrasound, both babies were facing head down, so that pretty much meant what I thought was good and I would end up having a so called "normal" delivery, you know the pushing, the screaming at Dan, and of course the "GOOD DRUGS". Well, that little precious daughter of ours, HAS TURNED BACK AROUND to be breached AGAIN! Matter of fact, she is pretty much sitting on Baby "A's" head, so they are already fighting and not even here yet. (In past ultrasounds, Baby "B's" bootie has been right in Baby "A's" face, such sisterly love I tell you)Of course, we have been told that we may have a "stubborn" child on our hands. Well, both children are products of Dan and me, so they both will be stubborn, one may be a little more than the other?!?!? I have also been told that Baby "B" may be the Auburn fan since she is acting the way she is?!?! (Let's hope that isn't true)

As far as an update on me, I am officially done with work. I was only working half days and that had seemed to be working, but my blood pressure was high at yesterday's appointment, so the Dr said no more work. I thought it might be fun to get to lay around all day and do nothing, but I have been bored out of my mind today! lol And my fear is that this is only going to make things go by slower! Hopefully not. The Dr has been checking me, but of course NO CHANGE! I go back Friday to just check my blood pressure and to see if there is any protein in my urine, because the swelling in the feet and hands has had it's moments lately. If everything is ok there, then I go back Monday for another check up. So pretty much, the Dr says, its a day by day thing right now! He wants to see if maybe they will come on their own first, if nothing has happened by May 26, then we will discuss the options of possibly inducing?!?

Just keep us all in your prayers, because every time I call a grandparent they get nervous! Dan and me, we are the people that are nervous! I think the closer it gets, the more scared we get about becoming parents! I know we will be fine, but it is going to be a whole new world for us in our little "house divided".

Congrats!!!!

I have to give a big CONGRATS to one of my very good friends, Katy and her husband Derek! They have found out they are expecting in December!!! I am soooo excited for you both and can't wait to meet the Lil Wallace! :) Please keep them all in your prayers!!

Dr. Update

We went to the Dr on Friday, and I know now why I feel like I can't breathe and why it feels like there is a 15 pound watermelon in me! lol Baby "A" is weighing 5lbs and Baby "B" is weighing 5lbs 13oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I know that sometimes that is not always correct, but I don't see where it can be far off! Both heartbeats were strong as well. My blood pressure was 120/80 which I say comes from the half days I am working now, I can really tell a difference in not being as tired as I was. We go back again this Friday and Dr. Madden is going to start checking me! Soooo just say a prayer that everything continues to go well. I am ready for them to be here, but I don't want them coming too early!!

Also, mom and Eli are now our neighbors in the big "metro" area of Bankston. Jim hauled mom's car from Texas Friday, so now Eli and her are getting settled in. It is weird knowing she is just right next door now! We are slowly trying to get things together. I guess we need to get hospital bags packed next?!? lol
