T minus 211 hours


We headed for our weekly trip to Magee today for fetal heart monitoring and a Dr. visit. All went well with the monitoring and there were a few contractions while we were there. Before the test a complete stranger walked up to Andrea and asked how many babies she had in there. We then went to see the Doc. We were happy that we were scheduled with one of the ones that we really like. We thought that she was going to have a pelvic exam but the Doc said it was not needed since we were going to do the C Section. Andrea was very happy about this as her "girl parts" are all jacked up and she knew it would really hurt. We met with the Doc in her office and she said that since Andrea still has the Cholestasis and now something called Pupps which makes her belly very painful that we would move the scheduled C Section to next Friday December 11th. She will have to have an Amniocentesis on Thursday though to make sure that the girls lungs are ready to do their thing. I put up an argument that I would like the Amnio. done sooner and if they were ready why wait another 9 days. She gave me a bunch of medical reasons as to why it is prudent to wait and I agreed. After all the last school she was in was medical school and the last class I took was on the difference between a chicken tender and a chicken fritter. I know you are wondering so here it is. A chicken fritter has over 30% breading. I bet you didn't learn that in medical school Dr. know it all. We then discussed having Andrea "fixed" while we are in there and the Doc said it was easy to do so we scheduled that. I told her it didn't really matter since I was fairly sure I was never ever ever getting sex again. The Doc laughed but I saw the look in Andrea's face and I think she agreed with me as she was scolding me for potty talk. So here is the schedule. Next Wednesday we go back for fetal heart monitoring and a Dr. visit. Next Thursday we go in for the Amniocentesis and next Friday afternoon we go in for the birth of my baby girls. Andrea will be in the hospital until Monday or Tuesday and they said that she would need to take it real easy for 2-3 weeks. Of course this will all change if the girls decide that they want out sooner. The picture above is what Andrea wanted to eat when we got home from the hospital. Pickles and milk, disgusting.
