34 weeks-8 days Til Babies!!!

This is my last week being pregnant. I went to my appts this week and things are going great. London is 4lbs 1oz and Sydney is 4lbs 5oz. I had a few contractions during my Non Stress Test but they werent consistent enough for me to get sent upstairs to Labor and Delivery. We also met with the neonatologist. He said that it is the hospitals policy to keep any baby born before 36 weeks in the NICU for a week. So he said that the girls are looking at a week at the least and 2 weeks tops in the NICU. But he said he reviewed my ultrasounds and the girls are good weights and that he could see them breathing on the video. He said he is confident that they will do well. He also said that by everything being scheduled they already know what to expect and that they are prepared. Unlike in an emergency situation. My C-section is scheduled for 9 a.m. but its 3 hours prep time. So they wont be cutting until around 12 noon. I really dont know why it takes 3hrs to give u I.V. fluids, shave your privates and put a catheter in. I swear the medical procedures are so long winded. My Dr said it will take him 2-3 minutes to get the girls out and about 30-45 mins to put me back together. I'll be in recovery for 5-6 hours. And of course the twinsies are going to the NICU. They said I probably wont see my girls until the next day, but that it depends on me. I wont be able to keep my composure until I see them and I can make sure they are okay. I still cant believe Im at the end of the road....8 more days babies, Hang in there.
