YIPPEE for 33!!!

Happy 33 weeks you little Wild Things!  I never thought we would make it this far!  In fact I don’t think anyone did!  LOL!  My family and closest friends started a baby pool when I first got in here, just to help me pass the time and give me a reason to get excited for the next day…well out of 21 people only three are still in the running! One of which is me who choose tomorrow; not that I ever thought we would make it this far but I wanted to be hopeful! Even Dr. Fitzwater (one of my favorites) once said I wouldn’t make it past 32.  On his last visit he told me that not many people make him eat his words but I sure did.  All proof that miracles do happen; God is good, all the time God is good!
We’ve had good news and not so good news this week.  My platelet count is even a little lower than last (but not over concerning yet).  They will keep an eye on it on hope it goes back up by itself.  If it doesn’t it could be a situation that keeps me from going home and if it’s still low at delivery time could lead to a blood transfusion or being knocked completely out instead of a spinal tap or epidural.  Kimber’s Doppler number is still slightly elevated, but is good that it hasn’t gone from slightly elevated to abnormally elevated; another thing they will just continue to keep an extra eye on and could keep me from going home.  On a much happier note they measured and guessed the weight of the babies this week and both are weighing in right around 4 pounds each! 

So proud of our tough little Wild Things and amazed at how loved they already are by so many!
