Mom on Mother's day

I became a mom on Mother's day at 34 weeks. They were tiny - 3 lbs 2 ounces and 3 lbs 10 ounces but they did not have any other serious problems. They decided to come by different routes - one vaginal and one had to be delivered by c-section. Both the babies are doing fine and came home from the hospital in one week. We had our first visit with their pediatrician yesterday and the babies now weigh 3 lbs 13 ounces and 4 lbs 4 ounces. We are totally sleep-deprived now :) but the babies are doing great. I will update more later.

34 weeks OB appointment

I am 34 weeks today. I never thought I will make it so far. I had my OB appointment and my OB was also amazed. She also said that when I was hospitalized at 27 weeks, she never thought I will be still pregnant at 34 weeks. Of course, there is still the blood pressure problem but no preeclampsia so far. I had the tests done twice last week and will again have to do it this week. Life is full of doctors appointments and NSTs (3 days a week) but still it is better than having to stay in the hospital or delivering the babies early. I am not even in bedrest though I am not doing much at home - only sitting and eating and sleeping. My OB told me that from now on, the babies do not need steroids for lung maturity. I have a growth scan next Tuesday and another appt with the OB on Wednesday. She will check my cervix next week and depending on the state of my cervix and the growth ultrasound, we will decide on a date for induction unless something happens earlier. But probably it will be 37 weeks maximum. In case the babies are born after 36 weeks, they might not even have to spend time in the hospital.
So 36 weeks is my next goal but I am very, very happy to have made it so far.
