Ended up going to the hospital on Thursday night after I went in to see the doc last minute. The night before I had tremendous heart palpitations, chest tightening and such, and didn't sleep at all. I brushed it off as the weight of the babies, but then decided to just call the doctor on Thursday to see what they thought. They ended up wanting me to come in, and then when I did, my blood pressure was really high, and so was my pulse, etc. My swelling is horrible in my feet and ankles, and is moving up my legs-- so all of our worries were a blood clot.
Thus, I got sent to the hospital to do an Ultrasound on my legs to look for any clots, and they monitored the babies and me for a few hours.
I got to watch my contractions on the monitor--so now at least I know that what I feel are really contractions! Not strong enough to be in labor yet--but it is nice to know that is in fact what I am feeling!
No blood clots, and babies and everything is ok--- so basically the weight of them is just getting to be a lot, and they are really sitting on my main Vein (I can't remember the name), that runs right to your heart--so they are just causing a lot of pressure on me now.
Went in for my normal appointment today-- and my blood pressure was about back to normal, and they did an Ultrasound for the boys--- they are 5.6 lbs EACH now!! yeah! Staying exactly the same, as they have the whole time! Both still head down! Everyone always just tells us how good they look, and how healthy they are--so that is great!! The doc ended up checking me out too--and I am not anymore dilated or anything from the last time--so that was discouraging for me--but he said that didn't really mean much--as everything is definitely ready to go! He also told me I was the "perfect twin pregnancy"-- which in my mind means they are probably not coming out anytime in the next few days....
They will come when they are ready!
About a week ago, I had Cabin Fever really bad--so we went out to breakfast in Morrison, and then took a little drive up the canyon to see some fall colors, and then drove around Red Rocks. It was nice to just get out and see the beautiful Fall!
Until next time.....
