Last day...

Well, this is my last day before I officially become a mother. Tomorrow Shaun & I are going to the hospital to have a C-section and to meet our twin girls Hailey and Brooke! I can't wait.

As the day is coming to a close I am starting to get a little more anxious and nervous, but mainly right now I am just EXCITED!!! I can't wait to see what they look like and to hold them. They have been especially active today...my adrenaline is rubbing off on the girls I think, LOL.

I have been on bedrest since July 2nd, which is why I haven't written much in a while. We haven't had any new pictures since the last ones either. It has been a long month and a half and at the same time it has flown by. I was getting tired of laying on the couch watching "Baby Story" and "Bringing Home Baby" and movies, but I know I am going to miss that very soon. I will admit, it was really nice when I was first on bedrest to have a break from working 8 hrs./day.

Here is a little synopsis of the babies' development and my progression over the past couple of months:
6/23/09--3 hr. glucose tolerance test - PASSED! (which means I don't have gestational diabetes, hooray!)
6/25/09--29 week mark: placed on modified bedrest since baby A is smaller than baby B (1036 grams & 1336 grams)
7/1/09--Perinatologist put me on bedrest as baby A was 3 lb. 2 oz. & baby B 3 lb. 8 oz., and I had a shortened cervix so he was concerned I may deliver at 32 weeks
7/7/09--OB appt. = cervix measured okay, not shortened
7/14/09--cervix shortened/same as before, baby A 1443 g (3 lb. 3 oz.), baby B 1734 g (3 lb. 13 oz.)
7/16/09--32 weeks: NST (non-stress test) at the hospital to make sure the heart rates of the babies goes up when they move
7/23/09--33 weeks: NST
7/30/09--34 weeks: NST
7/31/09--perinatologist, baby A 4 lb. 3 oz., baby B 5 lb. 6 oz.
8/6/09--35 weeks: NST, OB/GYN baby A 4 lb. 11 oz., baby B 5 lb. 9 oz., start NST's 2x/week
8/10/09--NST
8/11/09--feeling sick (sore throat, earache, stuffiness...no fun!) taking antibiotics for 5 days
8/13/09--NST
8/14/09--Perinatologist checked babies, baby A 5 lb. 5 oz., baby B 5 lb. 11 oz., decided it's time for the babies to come and we scheduled a C-section for Tues. 8/18/09!!!

So, to wrap it up, I am SO looking forward to seeing my girls tomorrow afternoon! I know they are very special little spirits and hope and pray they are healthy and all goes well tomorrow as my first day being a mother!!! :)
