17 days and Counting

We are starting to count down now.,17 days left. Girls are scheduled for delivery by C-section on April 15th at 12:30 in afternoon. Today was 1 out of four doctor appointments left. I also have just one more week left to take my medicine. Today at ultrasound we saw girls practicing sucking and they stuck out their tongues a us. Baby A has more hair than Baby B. Next week we find out what they weight for the last time before they are born. This Thursday, in the morning, we go for our doppler (umblical cord and fluid tests). So far they have gotten good scores on all of these tests.
Chad is planning on installing car seats this weekend. I think he is going to go to fire station for first one and watch and then attempt to do second one on his own so he knows how to do it. That's all I got for now. Let the count down begin.

Down to the wire

I am almost done. Whew, feels good to say that. March 23 is the magic date. Not that I deliver on the 23 rd but any time after that week it could happen. I get to stop taking the medicine I have been using to reduce contractions. So far they have been working. The girls also got a steroid to speed up their developement. We need their lungs to be as strong as they can get since they will be early no matter what. Both are well over 3 pounds now. So weight is not going to be a big issue. I have been surviving bed rest. I do a lot of flipping from one side to another. My brother and his girlfriend Jessi were kind enough to come down and keep me company. Which makes the time go faster. I am excited for St. Patty's day which means Chad will make corned beef, and soda bread. Yum. Cannot partake in the Irish tradition of drinking but I will watch. I am getting really excited to see what these girls look like. I wonder if they will have hair? Look like Chad or me? Lots of dreaming, waiting and guessing.
