It is Week 36....a HUGE milestone!!!! I had another ultrasound this morning and both babies look great! I am happy to announce that our bigger girl is 5 lb. 14 oz. and our smaller girl is still our peanut at 4 lb. 9 oz. Both of their hearts look normal as well as the dopplers and they are still head down...so a natural birth is what we have planned.
So far, my cervix is not dilated and my water has not broke. My doctor thinks that I will make it to at least next week, which is term. Both Dan and I believe that it will be another week or so and our babies will be born healthy at term...another part of the Lord's miraculous testimony!!!
Another fun surprise is that since everything looks stable, my doctor has approved me going home tomorrow for the duration of the pregnancy until it comes time for me to deliver. I will still return to the hospital 3 days a week to have the babies monitored for a short time. It is just amazing that I can finally return home after 3 months of being at the hospital on bed rest. My birthday is this coming Saturday, May 3 and I will get to celebrate at home and all I want for my birthday are two healthy babies born at term (not on my birthday, though).
I will continue to post updates even from home as we get closer and closer to the actual birth. I can't thank you enough for your love and support and most of all your prayers during every step of the way. Please continue to pray for the girls and Dan and I especially as we near the end.
Love and Blessings,
Jenny
