Like most Americans, I spent the few hours leading up to the Super Bowl with a home health nurse who performed a Biophysical Profile ("BPP") on the twins. Oh, other people were drinking beer and eating hamburger/velveeta/salsa dip out of a crock pot?Anyway, the BPP tests the babies' heart rates, fluid levels, movements, and watches for the babies to do their "practice breathing." This was scheduled for Sunday as the doctors are watching the babies very closely at this point. Everything looked good, so the babies stay in for now.
Before arriving at out house, the nurse had visited two other mothers who were expecting twins and were about as far along in their pregnancy as I am. She sent both of those women to the hospital. At least one of them delivered yesterday. I guess I broke the streak.
Barb and Sarah were here. They were really hoping to see babies this weekend, but like me, are happy the little ones will have some more time to grow before they emerge. Staying home also allowed me to enjoy the great dinner and appetizers that Barb whipped up for us last night. Thanks Barb!
