Just a quick update on whats happening at Casa Turner. I went for my ultrasound this past Monday and my weekly appointment Thursday morning w/Dr. W. Everything was good, no problems or contractions. The babies are growing well. Hailey's estimated weight as of Monday was 4 lbs 9 oz. Mason came in at 5 lbs 3 oz. I'm at the miserable point of the pregnancy. Dr. W said that if I can make it to Monday, all I have to do is look at her funny and she'll take the babies. I've made it much further than she expected and by then the babies will be at 35 and half weeks. I'm going to hang on as long as I can, however its getting much harder. Casey and I spent Thursday and Friday evening in the Labor and Delivery triage. I've been having a lot of contractions and uterine irritability. At last check, earlier this evening I was 3 cm dilated and 80% effaced with a ripe cervix. There's no way I'll last until the scheduled C-section on May 4. Casey's thinking the 15th or 16th will be the Turner Twins' birthday.
Dr. W thinks we'll be able to avoid the NICU. If anything, Mason may have to go for a few hours to be observed before joining us in our room. I can totally deal with that. I was dreading a 2-3 week NICU stay and it looks like all the bed rest and additional precautions have gotten us through that part.
I'll try to be more regular in my posts, sometimes I just don't have the energy to log on the computer. Everyone's more than welcome to call or stop by the house. You can reach us 936-856-4821 or 936-537-2426. We've really appreciated all of the phone calls and visits thus far, they definitely help the time go by!
