27 weeks: 2 appts today

Sydney faking sleep!!!!---------------->>
London with her hand in her face!!!

Both appts went really well today. The girls are
still sharing. Ms. London is 2 lbs 2 oz and Ms. Sydney is 2lbs 5 oz. They are getting so big and they have equal blood flow. They scared me a little because after I was done with the ultrasound, dressed and everything, Dr. Atlas came in with 2 other doctors with him. But he reassured me that my type of twin was very rare and that they just wanted to witness my care and get some practice, you know they just wanted to be nosey and be a part of something to gain the experience which is fine with me. I have always been pro education. I finally cleared up my vaginal or ceserean delivery dilemma. Dr. Atlas said that this pregnancy will not go past 37 weeks because after then the mortality rate in utero sky rockets. He also said there were too many risks involved with a vaginal and that I need to get a ceserean. So Im gonna get gutted like a pig and I am scared. Im not really close with anyone that has had a ceserean. Im mainly scared about the recovery.

I also saw my regular OB today, Dr Julian, I dont think he was really aware of what we were dealing with as far as this type of twin. I told him what Dr. Atlas said. He said that was fine that we will deliver before 37 weeks. He also said that when I come back to see him on the 19th that we will schedule my c-section then. Im excited 37 weeks is only 9 weeks from now Im going to try to get it done between the 11th and the 17th of July, me and Babes anniversary is on the 19th of July and we kind of want to keep that day to ourselves. But I will be 37 weeks before then.

My next dilemma is who will be at the hospital when I deliver. Its really sort of a personal time because I wont be able to see them until I wake up and I want to see my babies first. That being said it will probaby just be me and Babe and then we will accomodate accordingly. That might not sit well with some people but who cares they are my babies and I want to see them first. So its decided its just gonna be me and Babe.

Anyway the babies were totally uncoooperative today especially Baby B . They were both head down at my last ultrasound but now Ms Sydney has decided to turn herself side ways so they are in the shape of a ''T'' now. They have no idea how she managed to do that with so little space but she did it....little escape artist. London was okay just squirmy but her head is in my pelvis, that explains all the pressure on my ''bottom parts''. She still has that white spot on her heart they said it will probably never go away but not to worry about it. We got some okay pictures, its just no space in there. The 3d pics look so-so, I guess I can post them, my mother said that they have faces only a mother can love hahahaha she is so crazy. Im excited but Im not out od the water yet, things can still go south at the drop of a dime, so Im still a little stressed. Now I have to go to the Dr and specialist every week. Atleast I got something to look forward to every week. Pretty soon I will have to go in 2x's a week for non-stress test. Mercy is really on top of this. I will just feel so much better when they are in my arms. I'll see them soon enough.
