Getting anxious.. nervous.. you name it...

We had our 35 week appointment this past Wednesday and all is still going very well... another ultrasound showed the boys doing really well. We did have a "practice" run to the hospital this past Monday night.. I was feeling horrible the whole day with TONS of braxton-hicks... I called my Dr. and he told me to go in to make sure I was not in labor. After about an hour and half we were sent home... I was contracting anywhere from 2 to 7 minutes but nothing strong or consistant and I have not dilated at all. But at least we know exactly where to go when we do go to the hospital.

After talking with the Doctor this past Wednesday.. he decided to schedule me a week earlier than we were originally planning on. Because of the diabetes and the cholestasis.. we scheduled a c-section for Monday, September 28 at 10am. Both babies are breech so really no hope for an induction. I can't believe this wil be a week from Monday.. we are getting SO close!!!

I am scared out of my mind... not only for the procedure.. but for the babies.. I just hope and pray they hang in there till the 28th and that they continue to do well and that they are healthy and strong. With having diabetes and cholestasis there are many risks the farther into pregnancy you go... so hang in there little guys!!

I am doing well... I still feel pretty good.. the only thing that is bothersome is my back - it really hurts and it is hard getting comfortable... sleeping is pretty much non-existant right now.

We are ready though... just waiting for that Monday.... there is still the chance of me going into labor before that date but we will see what happens... just hoping for an amazing outcome and that everyone will be fine!!!

Thank you God for such a wonderful pregnancy and just blessing us with 2 more little boys.. I just pray that everything will go well with the delivery! We are so incredibly blessed!!!
