Had our weekly Dr appointment.
Here is what the Dr. said .. Yay
one more week down .. and Next week he will give Melanie an injection
on Monday and Tue its a steroid to make sure ( JUST IN CASE) the babies
are fully developed to protect them from brain bleed and help their
lungs develop in case they come earlier than anticipated. The
injections are pretty standard for Women pregnant with twins. It also
helps with pre term labor.
Melanie is also being perscribed a new
medication that will help slow down contractions she is apparently
having. Through out your pregnancy you uterus contracts to practice for
the birth but since she has a cerclage and an incompetent cervix he
wants to slow it down and Baby A is right there putting pressure on
things ( not sure if he/she is really putting pressure on but its head
is RIGHT THERE! Other than that he is happy with how things are going
her fluid in sac levels are great and we will do baby measurements next
week .. they are moving a ton kicking and twirling around despite the
small space. He is happy how she is progressing and the lack of it so
to speak -
She is still on bedrest working on getting her a
wheelchair so she can venture out just a tad bit. Melanie feels great
and loves LOVES being pregnant despite these little hiccups.
On
the Home front still working on closing the deal - its a big pain in the
butt and we have has some minor bumps on that road with the seller and
the loan and the appraisal its all working out though we think.
Hopefully we can still close by the end of April.

Re: weekly update
Yeah!!! I am so happy to hear things are going great on the baby front.
Home buying is such a stressful, time-consuming process. I hope it works out for you and you get the home of your dreams.
