OB appointment today went well. Ultrasound still shows Baby A a little smaller than Baby B and both are face down. A is vertex and B is breech. Heartbeats, etc all look good.
Dr. OB said we could try naturally but she couldn't guarantee that even with the best doctor that they would be able to turn Baby B into a head down position after A is born - and I may end up going through labor and then having a c-section for the second baby. So, we decided to schedule a c-section to avoid that issue altogether. A little longer hospital stay and recovery time but I want to avoid having both labor and a c-section so that was the way to go.
Unless these boys decide to come out on their own we'll be scheduled for next Friday, August 29th.
J and I are so excited - less than 10 days and we will finally meet these two little bugs!! A little nervous too!
My journey through years of fertility treatment and miscarriage

About Me
- Lisa
- I am 42 years old and separated from J after nearly 10 years of marriage. We had been trying to have a baby for more than 6 years. Through years of fertility treatments and pregnancy loss our journey had been way too long and I had lost nearly all hope that it would end happily. That hope grew again as each day of our twin pregnancy passed and on August 25th, 2008 our world was forever changed. Not long after our boys were born I found myself a single parent. Even though single parenthood with twins is damn hard I wouldn't change it for the world. Now, nearly two years after separating from J, I'm dipping my toe back in the dating pool. NOTE: Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

How exciting that next week they will be here!
Wow. That seems unbelievable. It seems especially unbelievable that you are going to carry them to 38+ weeks. That's awesome!
That is such exciting news! You've done an amazing job of carrying them for this long. We're excited to meet the little guys too. :)
So exciting! I can't wait to read about their arrival! :) HUGS!
