In the home stretch for my twins - 35 weeks!

Been awhile since I last posted. Just a recap on the weeks that went by so fast...

...and you expect me to walk straight with my 35 week twin belly?
At 32 weeks U/S babies weigh approx 4lbs. Each. Pretty good weight for twins. Dashielle spinned from breech to cephalic, then in the middle of the U/S changed to Oblique/Variable. She is a very active baby even in the womb. While Callie, remained cephalic/head down the entire time.

At 32 weeks, I failed my 1-hour glucose test. I had 15.5mg/mol when the normal values should be 10.0mg/mmol. So, OB decided to go for a 3-hour test. The test was generally okay, good thing, we started at around 6am (no food since 8pm) then every hour they would get urine and blood for 4 times. 1st was at 6am, then drank sweet glucose drink (was tasty, like soda), then another extraction at 7am, 8am then lastly at 9am. I was done and so famished, so hubby and I had a delicious breakfast date. After the results came - I saw it and everything is in normal levels! Hurray! No GD! I felt entirely blessed.

Had an U/S at 32 weeks (Baby B spinned to both cephalic, I was hoping for a normal delivery) but at 36 weeks, Baby A turned breech! Which gave me a ticket for CS. I was fine, as long as the babies would be okay.

Now, I have a Dec 14 final check-up and a scheduled CS on Dec. 16. I'm getting very excited, truly God is amazing. Even the OB was surprised at how my body and the babies cooperated. Reaching till 37 weeks w/o any complications the entire pregnancy.

She even said that It's a blessing already to be able to reach to 36 weeks.

Even if there were so much set backs that have happened throughout this pregnancy, God is faithful and gracious. Whatever He has started in me He has completed them to perfection. I was not even trying but He has already completed the work in my life.

Great and wonderful things I see. There's freedom now and He has protected me entirely the whole year.
