Scarlet- You can remove my daughter for the special thoughts list. Her cyst has resolved and she is doing much better.
Also, my next OB appt is on Monday Mar. 16th. I will be going weekly.
I no longer get the ffn swab every two weeks because they stop at 34 weeks.

I had a rough night last night. My Braxton Hicks were quite bad. They finally eased up at 6 am. I finally got a few hours of sleep but, I am back to having them again. There not regular so they just want me to take it easy...pretty much bedrest.

Barbara's twins are coming!!

Just a quick post as I'm running out the door ---- text message from Barbara this morning: the twins are coming TODAY!!! That's all I know, but I'm assuming that the doctors, for some reason, decided to do the c-section today instead of waiting.

GOOD LUCK, BARBARA!!!

I'll keep you ladies posted if I hear anything else.

Wow, it's been super busy here! I can't believe we have all made it so far!

Susan!!!!!!! So glad to hear from you. I'm glad that your babies are both here and doing well, and you are all in my prayers!

Barbara - Good luck today! I can't wait to see pictures of your little boys, and I know you can't wait to hold them!

J - your OB sounds CRAZY! Ekk 40 weeks with twins, huh? Wow!

I'm out of the hospital. My OB had a MFM come review my records and meet with me. He spent a good 30 minutes with me and said none of my tests are showing pre-eclampsia, and that he thinks I'll make it to 37 weeks, and recommended discharge from the hospital with 2x weekly visits with BPP, blood work, etc. I'm also on strict bed rest now. I'm so happy to be home, my bed and couch are much more comfy than the hospital bed.

My thoughts and prayers to each of the rest of you - more personals later.

Good Luck Barbara!!!!

Congratulations Susan!!!

Maggie - I am glad to see you are out of the hospital.

To everyone not feeling well I hope you feel better soon.

Well it looks like things are starting to kick into gear for all of us April 2009 girls. You are all in my thoughts and in my prayers as we run the final stretch.

AFM - BPP went well on Monday and NST went really well today. Valerie actually cooperated and I was on and off the machine in a record 5 minutes. I asked my OB if he had any thoughts on an induction date and I think he confused me even more than I was already. He started figuring out when he is going to be on call and then after telling me he will be on call next weekend he tells me that he will do a Cervix exam next week and then make a decision on the date once he sees the condition of my cervix. Then he tells me that it will either be the Wednesday or the Friday. Now - did he mean next Wednesday or Friday or did he mean the following Wednesday or Friday. I am so confused ! Oh well, I guess I'll find out more on Monday.

Hope everyone has a good night and is able to get some sleep.

Sue I had something similar happen with my doc. By the time I left I wasn't sure if he thought I'd deliver before the 3rd or maybe I'd be doing fine by the third and he'd push the induction date off or maybe we'd keep the induction on the third I guess I concluded that he doesn't know....

Good luck today everyone!

Barbara: thinking about you guys!!!

Woke up late today, so I'll log on later and make sure to read everything else I"ve missed!

We did end up signing up with the daycare/preschool we really liked yesterday!!! It was a great visit and we were quite impressed with everything! We gave them the deposit yesterday to secure our spot and I have to drop off the application form today on my way in to work.

DH's mom is having cataract (however you spell it) surgery this morning. DH took the day off to drive her to the hospital and be with her. I know it's routine surgery, but nontheless, I always worry about this kind of stuff!!! She's having one eye done today and then the other one done on April 10th.

Have a great day everyone!!!!
