Before my appointment yesterday, I had convinced myself that I was going to have a scheduled c-section with these little lovelies! However, they completely surprised me as well as my doctor. Both babies are in the perfect head down position. My doctor said that if they continue for the next couple weeks, then she will cancel the scheduled c-section date with hopes of a natural birth!
They did so great yesterday as far as cooperating for the tests and of course made for one thrilled mom to see them both in perfect position! They were both side by side, head down with their little legs crossed, like mirror images. Let's hope that it continues. The further along I get, the harder it is for them to maneuver. So them being head down at this point is a great sign!
I can't pray and hope enough that they decide to come on their own. I really hope that it happens that way! My pregnancy with Rhylan has left me nervous, because I never thought he would come and I carried him for two weeks past my due date. I know that my doctor won't let me go past 38 weeks with twins, but I'm still very apprehensive and hope that they will come, because they are ready.
Apparently my mommy pep talks are working! We are still praying to reach 36 weeks, which is just 4 weeks from now, a blink of an eye in pregnancy time! It's absolutely crazy to think about, but at the same time, the more uncomfortable I get with two sets of feet in my ribs, back pain and ankle pain, the more I am ready to move on to the next phase. The phase where our whole world will be turned upside down with two beautiful baby girls. We are incredibly excited and nervous all at the same time!
I keep wondering how on earth I will handle the needs of two infants at one time plus a three year old. I just remind myself that God chose us to take this on for a reason and that over time, things will get easier. We will get into a system that works for us and our life will fall back into place. The only option is to jump into it, ready or not and feet first!
