Still Here...

We have passed the 28 week mark and we are still truckin' along. I figure that if we have made it this long, there's no reason why we can't make it to the end. When exactly the end is...that is the question. Dr. Hutton wants to turn the meds off at 32 weeks, but Dr. Carpenter says absolutely not before 34...35 being ideal. I'm still conflicted about which I would prefer...the part of me that is horribly uncomfortable and can't imagine getting any bigger is really excited about 32 weeks (that's less than 4 weeks away!)...but the mom in me knows that 35 weeks would give us two healthy, beautiful, big boys who need little help after birth. I think it would be easier on me emotionally if I waited 3 more weeks versus delivering early and having to visit the hospital for weeks to see my boys. Like that isn't enough to be bouncing around in my brain...I have yet another decision to make. I have to decide between a vaginal vs c-section delivery. If I go the first route we know Zachary will be delivered with no problems, but I still have about a 50% chance of ending up with a c-section to deliver Grant (there's no telling what position he will be in once Zac is out). Is it worth trying, is it worth the risk? Or is it better to decide first on a c-section and know exactly what to expect? I'm just not thrilled about recovering from a c-section and I am a little scared about the surgery aspect. If I choose the first option, I will deliver in an operating room so that we are ready in case we need to do a c-section. I guess this is just the beginning of tough decisions.

Well now that I have rambled about that...things seem to be remaining pretty stable. I got quite a bit of freedom this week. My Mag was turned down which has me feeling a lot better, the nausea and grogginess are gone. Also, I don't have to be monitored continuously for contractions anymore, I am only monitored for 3 hours a day at 1 hour intervals. Last night was the first night since I have been in the hospital that I have been able to sleep without the monitor, it was nice...I could toss and turn as much as I wanted!
