This afternoon Brenda had her last pregnancy related doctor visit (at least for this year). The doctor did a quick ultrasound and said that the babies heart beats were good and strong, and that the fluid around them looked fine. At this time there are no signs of contractions, so it looks like she\u2019ll have no problem making it to Monday.<\/p>\n
We have to be at the hospital at 5:00am to check in and get ready, and the surgery starts at 7:30. The procedure will last about 30-60 minutes, and then Brenda will be in recovery for about 90 minutes or so.<\/p>\n
So providing everything goes as planned, we\u2019ll finally meet the new boys around 8am on Monday! We just can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n
This is one time I will not mind getting up early at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
