OK, so a bunch of posts today…Julie went to the doctor again today and everything is tracking well. Both babies are head down, which means it should be smooth sailing. Unless there’s some monumental movement over the next few weeks (which, to be honest, I can’t imagine there’s ANY room for) the girl will be born first. The girl is extended along Julie’s left side and the boy is kind of folded in half, with his bum at the top of Julie’s belly and his feet down by his head, with both their heads right next to each other. The doctor is impressed with how great Julie’s doing and that she hasn’t had to go to the hospital or have anything out-of-the-ordinary done to take care of her. Julie really IS miserable though and talks about how hard things are right now. She can’t wait to be done. We’re hoping to have them the week before or after Christmas and the doctor said the way things are going right now, he thinks it will just happen on its own. She was dilated to probably a 2, he said. But he said that if it doesn’t he is fine to induce her after 36 weeks (which would be December 20th) if she wants him to. I don’t know if she’ll really want him to then or not. I’m pretty sure though, that if she makes it to the 27th, she’ll definitely have him induce her then. She can barely walk and even sleeping is very difficult for her. The babies are both doing fine. The girl is over 5 lbs now. I think Julie and I would both feel OK with having the babies as long as the girl is over 6 lbs. We’ll see what happens next week.
Seriously!!! I can’t wait!!!!! Stick in there Julie. I know you can do it. You are so amazing!
