Things went well yesterday at the doctors. We had a new ultrasound technician that we have never had before. This is quite unusual as we have now had close to 30-35 ultrasounds with this pregnancy. As usual the girls are looking healthy - they were having fun playing catch me if you can with our technician. Thank goodness most everyone in healthcare it blessed with patience otherwise she might have been ready to shoot someone after trying to get the heart readings done.
Thursday we will meet with the Neonatologists at the NICU. We will have our little question and answer period about what we should expect to see with twins at a 34 week delivery time. For the most part things look and sound good, we just have the added pressure of them being small for their age. The smallness can lead them to have issues maintaining their body temps and/or insulin levels. We are praying the suck, swallow, breath reflex will be mature enough so that they can start regular feedings without tubes; from what I have heard from other parents with twins delivered at this stage if they do not have the reflex it may only be 2-3 days before it is fully functional.
On Thursday we will also have our final appt before surgery with the doctor that is delivering the babies. I think in some ways he is more excited about the day being 9/9 than anyone as he wants to try to push it to being 9am delivery time. I guess when they have routine procedures the doctors have to play a little game to have fun along the way. Now is only the MegaMillion would let you play all 9's!!
Riddle me this.... can you tell who dressed which bear below? The names of the bears are.... ohh wait, we can't tell you that yet as it matches the names for the girls :) We figure we have to keep something a secret along the way.
