Tough Decisions

   Yesterday @ 9 o'clock P.M. central time. . .we were shipped out of our home away from home, back down to labor & delivery. . . They thought the monitoring "strip" looked a little questionable AGAIN . . .so off we went. It is now 8:55 P.M. (central time . . .lol) the next dy & we are still in L & D wearing the beautimus gowns this place so generously gives you. Along with the leggings that pump air. I have become quite a fashion statement. The girls have done pretty well, all except for a 60 second decel this morning @ 5:15, that has the doctor concerned. . . and a few variables ( whoever heard of that word before? ) where the heart rate goes down & back up in a second or so.
  Farley stopped by here this evening, & after a long mind stretching conversation, he told us that he believes we need to deliver these little babies @ 28 weeks. Josh & I don't know how to feel. It's such a tough decision, we don't want to do something we regret, because ultimately they tell us it's our decision, after they tell us all the medical facts, that is. He says nowadays 28 weekers do pretty well in the big world. . . & he seems positive that if we continue to borrow time, we won't have as good of an outcome as if they were safely out. So what to do? The plan as of now is to deliver them on thursday, which is 28 weeks & 1 day. We know that these babies were created by our master planner, and that they are in his hands, & that no matter what happens, he already knows the outcome. So we pray & hope for the best, as we know that all of you are doing the same thing for them, which makes us feel much more secure. So pray that we do the right thing for these little girls:) It feels as though they are everybodies babies because so many of you are supporting us & praying for them. That is the update as of September 12, 2011 :) Thanks to you all & have a sleep filled night. . . J & S & lil ladies.

  2. Hey! Just found your blog.. you prob don't know me but maybe my DH? (Andy Toews from Inman, that REAL tall guy :) ) anyways, thinking and praying for you and your babes.. hoping you can bake them longer but 28 weeks is great too! Will be such a relief to get mo/mo's here safely. Sounds like you are in great hands. I am pregnant with our 2nd!! set of di/di twins.. Girls the first time, boys now! We are 36 and 4 days, after alot of scares. Twins are such a blessing! Christie Toews
