Our Twins were born today via c-section at 12:36 and 12:38pm, they were 34wks 6 days!

Gracyn was 4# 8oz and Joe was 4# 12.2 ozs. Both are doing well!

They didnt need any kind of help breathing or anything!.....they will be in the NICU hopefully for not too long, but just to be closely monitored!

I am completely miserable. The itching will not stop. the medicine is not touching it at all. 11pm-4am is the worst time frame for me, that is when my itching is the worst.

I do not know how i am going to get through the next 2 weeks with all this itching. I have tried lotion, showers, being cold (website said cool skin helps) NOTHING is working!

My next drs appt is Tuesday, and hopefully he will be able to help me!

I went in today for my weekly bio physical profile....

The last 3 days i have been up all night itching my skin practically raw......so i mentioned it to the dr, he looked at my skin and didnt see a rash, so he became concerned.

He said that i have Coleostasis of the Liver caused by pregnancy.....basically my liver is creating extra bile cells that could be harmful to the babies, and made mention of higher risk for still birth......I am freaking out.

So now, not only do i have to have weekly bio phys. profiles, but they are going to do weekly non stress tests. This makes me feel better that i get to hear them 2x a week, but its still really scary......i just wanted the itching to stop, and this is what i hear. UGH

So, now i am on an oral medication that is supposed to collect the extra bile cells, and keep them away from the babies......and hopefully make the itching stop.

They also gave me the green light to schedule my C-section for 36 weeks. (YAY!!!) which is the first week in Oct.!

Heres hoping for healthy babies and a safe delivery in 3 weeks *(OMG!!!!)

Went to the Dr today for my monthly Ultrasound.....Everything looks great! Gracyn is measuring at 3lbs 5ozs, Joseph at 3lbs 4oz. I also had to see the Hematologist today. he took me off of one of my medications that i would have to be off of for a week before delivery. (they are being safe in case i go on my own.)

They also moved me to weekly appointments which is scary but exciting at the same time. This means that they will be here soon! hopefully not before 5 weeks from now!

My Last full shift at work is going to be September 16th. I will be coming in two days to do clients that i already have in the books, but thats pretty much it. I am out of gas.

Dave still hasn't had any luck finding a job. Hopefully he will find something soon!

Thats all for now!!!

I haven't posted much lately.....we have been really busy setting up the babies room....it is completely done now and we are just waiting to fill them with babies :)...

We ended up in the ER on Wed August 11th....I had one contraction at 9:30pm, and then another at 10:01pm and another one at 10:06.....i called my dr and they advised me to come in just to make sure i wasn't dilating.....They also did a test to see if i was at risk to deliver in the next two weeks.....that test came back negative thank god! so i at least know these little ones are staying in until i am 30 weeks!!! hopefully longer than that, but ill get through the next two weeks first!!!!

The Dr. told me that if i have 6 contractions in one hour, then i should go to the ER, but otherwise she said that being that I am having twins, i will experience the Braxton Hicks contractions more often.

It is getting harder and harder for me to work, my belly is getting larger and my back at some points in the day feels like its breaking in half.....and aside from having to stretch to reach my clients heads, i have been doing ok!!! i get drained alot faster these days......but that is to be expected during the 3rd trimester!!! My Dr told me that I will probably have to pull the plug on working before he will, because my back wont be able to handle it, or i wont be able to reach my clients.....He said that everything is going smoothly and he doesn't see any reason other than discomfort to have me not working. I will push through as long as i can, but i am thinking mid September i might be done. We will just have to play it by ear!!!

Phew that was a long one!!! hopefully i can keep up with this blog and post more next month!!!! We are reaching our final destination here pretty quickly, and my blog will then turn into baby central !!!!

Tuesday we had our fetal echo cardiogram, and both babies hearts are perfect!!! one less thing to worry about!

We also had our 22wk ultrasound today! Both babies are measuring 1lb 3oz, and baby a is at 22wks 4days and baby b is 22 wks 3days! They are looking great!

I have gained 18lbs so far and they are telling me that its perfect!, I feel like its too much, but i guess i am gaining in the right places....( i am all belly)

and on a GREAT POSITIVE note....the Placenta previa is COMPLETELY GONE!!! yay!...they said they would like the placenta to be 1.5cm away from my cervix and mine is 7CM away!! so not only did it move, it went to the total opposite side....we couldnt be happier! its amazing how much can change in 4 weeks.!
