I went to my doctor yesterday. I did a Non-Stress Test and Ultrasound and both looked good. My doctor is going to a conference at the University on Friday and is going to discuss our situation with other doctors, surgeons, and specialists. She wants to get everyone's advice on when would be the best time to deliver our babies because of our complications. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided next week at 35 weeks to just deliver them. The reason why it's important to deliver just right is because they don't want Baby B to pass inside me because it could cause Baby A to have a stoke or other complications. So it's almost a guessing game as when is the best time to deliver. They don't want to deliver me too early knowing Baby A will probably have to go in the NICU. So we'll see what they say next week.
At 34 weeks pregnant with twins I am quite uncomfortable. I have gained a total of 12 pounds, my weight hasn't changed in the last two weeks. Pretty much anything is exhausting for me to do. I take breaks while getting ready, cooking dinner, cleaning, pretty much anything. I have a ton of stretch marks on my stomach that I didn't get with Cambree. I have been having Braxton Hicks Contractions, which is a new thing for me, since I didn't feel my first contraction with Cambree until they broke my water and started me on Pitocin. Physically I am ready to be done being pregnant, emotionally I'd rather be pregnant forever than face our reality. One week or so to go.

Oh Melissa! My heart just aches for you. I can't imagine what you are going through and this trial you have to face. I don't have any words of advice or anything that I can really say other than I am thinking of you always and praying for you and your family. Thanks for keeping us updated.
You look beautiful my friend.
I can't even tell you how often I think of you. I hope you are able to be at peace and know that I am praying very hard for you.
Lots of love....
