Before you were born I loved you
Before you were an hour old I would give my life for you
This is the miracle of life"

What a relief!

The cerclage on Thursday went well! Dr. Brothers was very confident and upbeat when we saw her in the pre op room. She told me that we were going to get these two babies here safe and sound. Her confidence made me feel a bit more comfortable but did not do much for lowering my blood pressure...very anxious! She told us that she would listen to the babies heart tones before and after the surgery. I asked if she would wait until after I heard their heartbeats to put me to sleep! Because I wanted to hear the heartbeats, I had to be awake for them preparing me for surgery....I saw WAY TOO MUCH! I did hear their heartbeats...very strong...about 160 beats a minute for both of them! Since the preocedure, I have been recovering from a not so pleasant reaction to the anesthesia. I am feeling better but still feeling nausious. I am not really sure if the nausia is still from the anesethia or from my morning sickness coming back with a vengance! I will have a post op visit with Dr. Brothers (Ob/Gyn) and Dr. Magee (Neonatal Specialist) on Monday. I think that Dr. Magee will be able to tell us the sexes of the babies in the next couple of weeks!!! I will also come home with new pictures of the twins on Monday!! I have been asked to post of picture of the pregnant belly...I will try to do that before long!

  1. Having a doctor that says the right things makes all the difference. When I chose my ob/gyn I chose someone that I knew wouldn't indulge my fears too much, because I am a worrier. She's much more confident than I am, and let's me know when I am needlessly worrying. I'm glad your procedure went well. I hope it's not morning sickness coming back to haunt you - I didn't start getting it until now (my tenth week). :(
    I am enjoying reading your blog. :)
