Re: *** Thursday TWIN Check-In 3/31 ***
How many weeks/days are you? 33 weeks + 6 days
Any updates from recent Dr's appointments? yesterday I had a sonogram and NST. I am really happy and amazed that both boys are estimated to weigh 5 lbs each!
Do you have names picked out? NO! DH and I REALLY need to make a point to discuss this. We have a rough list that we both jotted down long ago. I really like Luke and I know Paul is on his list (special family name). Paul didn't jump out at me as a name I can picture giving my baby but I think it's growing on me. We need to have a good idea on names but we definitely won't officially name them until we 'see' them at the hospital.
Will your DH or SO be able to take time off to help when the babies are born? Yes, my DH has a pretty flexible job (his boss had triplets so he knows what that is like!). It's a super small company (~6 people) so they're flexible but they also don't have many others to pick up the slack. I can see DH working partial hours. My mom is a teacher and will have the summer off so I think it'll be most helpful for DH to take time off at the beginning.
Any questions for the group? Do you have any hospital bags started yet? I don't, but need to.
How many weeks/days are you? 30w5d
Any updates from recent Dr's appointments? you might say that! Had growth scan yesterday and both babies are doing great. One is 4 lbs 1 oz the other 3 lbs 1 oz. This morning I saw my OB and I am 3 cm dilated, so they sent me to the hospital. I am having contractions 5 minutes apart on the monitor but I can't feel them at all! They are waiting to see if I dilate more and if so, they will transfer me to a hospital with all new people because of how early I am. Not a happy camper right now but trying to be positive.
Do you have names picked out? HAHAHA nope. We haven't even talked about it. I guess we'll have to figure it out soon!
Will your DH or SO be able to take time off to help when the babies are born? we don't really know. His boss said yes but there is nothing official policy wise.
Any questions for the group? no. Just keep me in your thoughts that this is a false alarm and I can go home in a couple days and let these girls cook longer!
Both our nurses yesterday told us we needed to get on deciding names, so we spent some time in my hospital room and came up with our babies names: Alexandra Joy and Elise Royal.
They're going to check me again around lunch time to make sure I haven't dilated any more. If not, I'll get to go home and be on bed rest til these ladies come. If so, I'll have to get transfered to the mega downtown hospital with a level 1 NICU and probably stay there til delivery. YUCK! Fingers crossed, peeps!
(holy crap I forgot to put the going home outfits in my bag lol)
