Week 34!!


Just a quick update on my non-stress test from yesterday...still smooth sailing! Thank you everyone for all your prayers so far. We have made it to 34 weeks!! As far as the twins, they have changed positions, both are transverse, laying on top of each other...which means they are laying left to right. Here is a picture I found of the internet of a single transverse so just imagine another baby laying on top of this baby.
Because they are on top of each other AND laying on their backs, finding two heartbeats was extremely time consuming yesterday. What should have been a 30min. visit turned into a two hour stay with many doctors coming in trying to pick up two different heartbeats. They could see two heartbeats on the ultrasound but the monitors would only pick up one b/c they are so close together. They wanted to see two beats for 20mins with two movements. Finally the third doctor had success, after I watched many other women come and go, passing their test in 20mins flat! Oh well, just another way twins are special.

I had high hopes of going by Citizen Cake and treat myself to some cupcakes and cookies, but after being poked, prodded, moved up and down, side to side and had at least a whole tube of gel smeared all over my belly, I just went home and took a shower and long nap!

Week 34! AMEN! That's a big hurdle! Now if they come they'll be small but totally healthy. Praise God. We'll keep praying that you can go a few more weeks.

Love,
