Almost There...

Im not sure how much longer or how often I will be able to keep everyone updated. It seems my laptop has a terrible virus it takes me 30 tries just to get to one website. I sure hope that it doesnt crash and I end up losing all my files. That would be a nightmare.

Monday night around 9pm I started having really bad back pain. At first I just blamed it on Emma being stuck up under my ribs but then over the course of hours the pain intesified and I just knew it...labor.

I was up all night long and all day the next day literally.

The Doctors came in and tried different remedies to help my contractions and pain stop and none of it worked so Dr Brown came in to check my cervix and it was still 2cm nice and closed. So he gave me some meds for pain and told me to try and rest because contractions without cervical change is just contractions...contractions with cervical change is labor.

Ok Dr B, Ill buy that line for a few hours but then dagum it, I want this pain to stop! The meds he gave me knocked me out for all of maybe an hour or two by this time it was 5am and I have been doing this since 9pm the night before.

So I doze off for a bit then get woke back up with the pain. Called the Dr back in, they checked my cervix again and yep Im in labor. I have already dialated 1cm.

Now I realize that some people dialate at 1cm and sometimes 3 or 4 and stay that way for a while, but really what are the odds with 2 babies inside of me, all the extra fluids, and being almost 32 weeks that I would really stay at 1cm for several weeks?

So they transfered me back over to labor and delivery and hooked me up to magnesium and I had been off that stuff so long that being hooked back up to it is like the first time all over again. Im flush, dry mouth, drowsy, drunk, slightly blurred vision, and lets not even mention the swelling. My right leg and foot imparticular are huge. And I have the hardest time getting in and out of the bed now. I literally have to roll out while someone is helping pull me. And then Roll back in while someone adjusts my legs and by the time I do all that I am completely out of breath.

I have to use the bathroom about every 30 minutes and this is no joke so you can imagine the stress i go through getting in and out of the bed so many times. I am seriously asking the DR to cath me because my body just cant take this. I am sleep deprived from having to pee so much!

For now the magnesium has seemed to slow the contractions. I am still praying for that 34 weeks but honestly I am truly thankful God has brought my girls this far.

A lady here in the middle of the night delivered at 26 weeks and my heart just broke for her. I remember being 26 weeks and how scared I was. She and her baby have been on my mind a lot. Please pray that her baby will become a NICU champ.

When I heard that I was reminded of what someone very dear to me told me not too long ago... " You have a lot to be thankful for. A lot of women cant even carry one baby and God has blessed you with the ability to carry two"

Thank you Mr Murray for that.

Last night when I heard about this other lady, it really made 32 weeks sound not so bad. Not that I want them here this early, but I am thankful that God has allowed them to get to this point. Because it could be a lot worse.

They checked their fluids early this morning...at like 3:30am. See what I mean...NO sleep around here. :)

Molly had 7.8cm and Emma had 2.9

Their fluid levels could be a lot worse so I am thankful for these measurements. Their fluids are staying at a consistency where another amnio is not needed and that is a good thing because I can assure you one more of those things and these babies are coming.

I got to see Emma's face again on the ultra sound. She is just so darn pretty. I get so excited when I get clear pictures of their faces. Molly is head down right now in a way that we cant see her face. But all too soon I will be seeing both their faces pressed against mine while giving them tons of kisses. :)


Please continue to pray that God protects both my girls and that they can enter into the world safely and healthy.

32 weeks tomorrow!!!! YAY! God is able and God is Good!

We are almost there...I cant wait to meet my miracle babies.
