Well today MAY be the that we add two more to our family. Last week I went to the doctor and both babies were breech. The doc thought there was "no way" they'd turn around and scheduled me for a c-section for today. Monday I went for a non-stress test (I've been doing these twice a week for over a month) and ultrasound and it showed that both babies were head down. So, yesterday I went and visited the doctor. He checked me thought said I was about 3.5 cm dialated and thought he could feel a head, meaning that at least one baby is still head down. Still, he didn't cancel the c-section scheduled for this afternoon. Rather, he told us to come in this morning at 11 a..m. and do an NST and ultrasound and we'll see where both babies are at and make a decision. The O.R. is scheduled for 3:30 p.m., so we may have our babies by late this afternoon or we may have our own little "false alarm" today. I'm learning that even babies in utero have minds of their own and they'll do what they want, even if you try and plan for them.
Either way, I think we are ready. We've washed the clothes, cleaned the house assembled the stroller and now we wait and pray for a safe arrival, today or within a week or so.

What a roller coaster to be put on. They should no better than to do that to a pregnant woman. ;)
