Another pregnancy update!!

Well last week was a busy one I am now going to appointments 3 times a week, 2 for non stress test, where they hook the babies up to heart monitors for 20 to 30 minutes and then a regular doctor visit. Last Tuesday I had the non stress test then woke up at 3:30 am to contractions I waited like 3hrs before finally going to the hospital, they had to give me the tributaline (don't know if thats spelled right) shots twice, for anyone that doesn't know what those do, they stop your contractions but make you feel all jittery and anxious, basically they make you want to jump out of your skin and run around the room like a crazy person but you can't, and your whole body shakes. YUCK!! Then Thursday I had another regular doctor appointment then Friday around 12:30am the contractions and cramping started anyway went back to the hospital around 5am, they did the shots again because they want me to make it to at least 36wks for the lung development so crossing my fingers this week hopefully nothing will happen, but I'm about done, and can't wait for it to be over!!!!

Sounds like those boys want out. You sound so busy, I hope you can get a little rest in between doctors visits, hospital trips, and freaky mind blowing shots before they do get here. Good luck.

Oh no Lindsey! Just a couple more days and you will be 36 weeks! Then the twins will be here!

Oh my gosh...I can't wait to see the twins...I'll keep my fingers crossed that they hold on a few more days.

I hope everything is going better and you are able to make it to 36 weeks.

Oh man, I totally feel your pain about the turbutaline. I had to take them in pill form when I was pregnant with Beck. I took them from 21 weeks till 37 weeks when he was born. No fun, and I love how you describe it, it's really how you feel! Insanely irritating.
