We showed up at the hospital at 8am, with our packed suitcase, thinking that today was the day. But instead we got turned away as they had an emergency section on the weekend and NICU was now full.
So we had a scan to make sure the bubba's are okay (doppler readings are still high, but not absent) and got their heart rates monitored for 20 mins (both were around 120 mark and OB Keira seemed happy with that).
So next plan of action is to try again on Wednesday (tomorrow). I have a definite slot this time - 3rd on the list. The main issue is still whether or not there is space in NICU. They said it would be very unlikely that we would be turned away a 2nd time, but there is still a tiny risk that it could happen.
I have to admit that I was so happy about the change of plans. Monday felt too rushed to me and just didn't feel right. Josh says it's only 2 days, but come Wednesday, they will be 34 weeks and 5 days...that bit closer to being 35 weeks. Oh yeah, and I'll know the team that does the surgery on Wednesday - either Keira and/or Emma. So fingers crossed for a 5th December birthday for these two littlies!
What an emotional rollercoaster!
It certainly has been an emotional rollercoaster. I don't know when I last cried daily :D.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a worldwind of emotions for Mum & I, specially not being there with you,
I can't even imagine what it has been like for both you and Josh.
Hopefully 5 December 2012 is the twins birthday!!
My fingers are crossed for all four of you; all the best!

ReplyDeleteAs I type this at 5am on Wednesday morning Australian time, you are on your way to the hospital to have those little bubbies.
Wish I could be there with you at this time,but I know you will need me more when the twins come home. You know that you are in my heart & thoughts.
Within hours – you will become a mother.
They say it is one of the greatest gifts any woman could ever receive, and also the hardest.
The twins are blessings from God, that were meant to be for you, for some reason. You were chosen to be a mum of twins.
Always remember, in life, we are never given more than we can handle. Even if you can’t see that in the moment,
I don’t know how you are feeling but I can only imagine you’re feeling. Excited & Nervous, you are about to welcome the twins to our world.
Being a Mum is an amazing gift.
If you don’t get to cuddle them straight away, just
remember that you will get double the cuddles when the time comes.
It has certainly been an amazing few months, can't wait to meet the little ones.
My prays and thoughts are with you and Josh today,
Love you very very much Karina the next chapter in your life is about to begin and the journey will be AMAZING..
Hi Karina and Josh, all the best and can't wait to see your bubs. Good luck!
