Day 16 - the last solo day in the hospital

Looks like tonight is my last "peaceful" night of sleep.  After meeting with the perinatologist last night and Dr. Fong this morning, we decided tomorrow is the day.  Looks like a 12:00 or 12:30 C-section.  I honestly can't remember what they said.  All the fun will start tonight with a midnight IV -  then, no food or drink.  I've brokered a deal to get an 11 p.m. snack pack to help.  Hey - Im hungry!

I'm scared to death, so I'm having a difficult time being excited.  I can't seem to compartmentalize the two realities - one having major surfer and two ending up with two babies!  I'm kinda stuck on the surgery part.  David has enough excitement for the both of us right now.

Don't know if the kids will need NICU time.  There is no way to tell until they arrive.  Our little boy looks to be around 5 pounds with the girl a bit behind him.  Who knows????  They come out like they come out.  Their lungs should have been helped by the steroid shot I received a few weeks ago.  That's always good news.

I think Chandler is going to come and help with the dog tomorrow night so David can spend the night in the hospital with me.  That is going to make a world of difference.  I should be in the hospital until Friday or Saturday depending on how I am feeling.  I can't wait to get out of here, but the reality of being home on our own is kind of scary too.  

I'm going to call Vons to order Thanksgiving dinner so at least we get something next week.

Thanks to all for your kind words, thoughts and prayers.  We feel very blessed and very loved.  

Look for a text tomorrow : )
