On Monday, December 29th, we had our first appointment with my new OB. She is awesome and we are very happy with our choice. She sat down with us and answered any questions that we had. We found out that she will not allow me to go past 38 weeks with twins because at that stage the risks outweigh the benefits of keeping the babies in, so these babies will be born on their own or with the doctor's help before June 29th. The "safe" zone is typically 35 weeks, but if I go into labor anytime after 32 weeks, they will probalby allow me go ahead and have the babies. She also informed us that I would deliver in an OR due to the risk of C-section with twins - they just want to be ready for anything. We are hoping and praying that I will not have to have a C-section.
After our Q & A session, she broke out the doppler and we got to hear the heartbeats again! That's such a great feeling to hear them and know both babies are doing well - I was amazed that she knew right where they were.
Our next appointment is on January 29th and we will be getting an Ultrasound! YAY! I will be about 16 1/2 weeks at that time. We are SO looking foward to seeing our precious little A & B again soon :)
Epic Fail!

I'm so excited for you. Everytime I read an update I can "hear" even through your writing how ecstatic you are. Hopefully you will be able to find out what you are having by then.
Oh and thanks for always kicking my butt in word twist. ;)
