Today could be the day . . . .

Hi everybody,

I am waiting for lab tests this morning, and based on the results, the docs will decide if we will be delivering the babies today. The OB felt that delivery was very likely. Apparently my perinatologist wanted to go ahead in the middle of the night last night, but my OB talked him out of it.

They put me on an IV with fluids and magnesium sulfate last night, as well as oxygen, which scared me a bit. I wasn't sure what was going on, but apparently they were getting me ready.

I am very excited to meet these little ones who have been wriggling inside of me. :) The docs think they'll do great, that strangely, being inside of me with my body under strain has probably hastened their development.

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts, support, and prayers. It has meant so much to us to know that there's such a wonderful network of friends and family (on three continents!) supporting us through this roller coaster.

Love,
Courtney
