Today I saw my doctor again. Of course, I complained a lot and told him that I'm miserable and that I can't sleep and it hurts to walk and my back hurts all the time. He told me that I am having a perfect pregnancy. No gestational diabetes, blood pressure looks awesome, gaining exactly the right weight each month, babies growing great, no preterm labor, still working full-time. So he doesn't see any reason to move my c-section date up. We're still on track for June 10. On one hand, I am happy because I know there could be a lot of complications and I could be on bedrest instead of working. I know that every week that they stay inside their odds of being in the NICU go down. But on the other hand, I want them out! I've never been so uncomfortable in my life! Anyway, enough complaining. Things look great. The babies should be about 3 pounds each. On April 23 we go to OKC to have a high level 3-D ultrasound done just to double check everything. They will especially look to see if I am starting to dialate and the level of amniotic fluid.
One thing that we discussed today is the amount of people that will be in the operating room with us. There will be Dr. Fey (my OB), Dr. Wendt (another OB) will be assisting with the surgery, Dr. Blakeburn (the babies' pediatrician, and the doctor I work for), a nurse to assist with the surgery, a nurse for each baby, the anesthesiologist, Josh, and of course ME. It's going to be crazy in there. I guess that will be the beginning of our crazy life! The other thing we talked about was the chance of uterine rupture because of my previous c-section. He told me what to watch out for and when to go immediately to the hospital. He said that he hoped the doctor that sewed me up last time did a good job. I just laughed because he's the one that did it.
So that's what's new for me. I will post again later this week!
