The boys scored 10 out of 10 on their tests Tuesday morning. I was having mild contractions, but nothing to worry about for now. If we go into active labor in the next two weeks they would give me the shots to stop labor and try to hold off for 48 hours. That would give the boys enough time to receive a steroid to speed up the development of their lungs. If I go into labor after 34 weeks, the boys wouldn't even need the steroid because their lungs would be ready! Baby A is currently 4lbs 13oz, Baby B is 4lbs 5oz. I will continue to have the weekly check ups, which last about 3-4 hours, but I always feel happy when I leave.
If I do not go into active labor over the next 4 weeks then we are scheduled to have a C-section on Monday August 17th! YES, the light at the end of the tunnel is finally near!!!
Just to give you all a heads up... we need to be prepared that the boys will be in the NICU (neo-natal intensive care unit) for some time. Possibly till their planned due date which is September 13th. We won't know what we are dealing with until they are born. We've been truly blessed so far and our hope is that they will be released before Rich and Bre's wedding so at least Billy and Josie can attend. Keep praying as we still need all the help we can get!!!
