As of today, I have been away from the hospital for 3 days. They won't let me leave town, because of how dilated I am, but thankfully, I am not in the hospital.
Before I left, they measured the babies to be 6lb 11oz and 6lb 8 oz. I'm sure they're off, because I can't really believe they'd be that big at 35 weeks, but it does give me hope that we will have big healthy babies. It's hard to explain how that feels after being in preterm labor and discussing the likelihood of being in the NICU for weeks and weeks with the babies,watching them struggle to eat and breathe.
At discharge, the doctor warned me I would be back in the next hour, the same night, or the next day. Well we proved him wrong, didn't we? He also said he would induce me at 36 wks 2 days (next Wednesday), and it sounds like he lied again because today he changed his mind to 37 weeks. I'm okay with that, but why do they say those things? I am so anxious to be home with my family.
So much good news to share! First we thought we were going into early labor, and now labor couldn't happen soon enough. (Don't worry though, it is pretty easy to stay on bedrest, it hurts too bad to walk). I am in Leslie's home, instead of the hospital, and the babies continue to show signs of good health and growth. I am on a new countdown... 11 more days at the most. I can do this!

You guys are amazing!!! Congratulations and continue the great work!
Make sure you get one last belly shot! I always regretted not taking one. Hooray for being out of the hospital! And Hooray for the light at the end of the tunnel :) Have your kids been able to come visit you? I can't imagine how hard that would be to be away from them for so long. It's almost over, and then the real fun begins. Good luck! I'll be anxious to hear updates!!!
That is great news! We continue to pray for your family and the health of your two little ones. Good luck with the delivery!
I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to meet your little guys. I'm sure you feel like your body is shutting down on you:-) My boys were born at 36 weeks and 4 days and they were 6lb 4oz and 6lb 14oz and Baby B was Breech! You're almost there!!
