Catch up

Okay so its been awhile since i made a post, i realize that and i'm sorry :(((( but let me catch u up to date.
Currently I'm 32 weeks prego!!!! WOO HOO made it this far hopefully i can get to or past 36 weeks, that would be nice but no matter what my goal is to make sure they are healthy little boys! I just had another neonatal appt on friday and the check up went great, the boys are actually starting to grow HAIR and gain some chubba wubba cheeks, it was so great to see them doing so well so of course i cried!
My neonatologist est. baby a's weight at 4lbs 11 oz and baby b is 4lbs 12 oz, so to me this just means they're not ready. If you go on youtube and look up preemie videos for twins the ones that are under 5lbs seem to have more issues than ones that are 5lbs  and up. So this makes my goal to have at least two 5lbers. I know there's really no way of knowing exactly how much they'll weigh before the BIG DAY arrives but a momma can hope right??????
My neonatologist also recommended that I start my NST's (Non-Stress Test) now, being that I'm getting closer to the big day. I wasn't able to actually get a set schedule but the great news is that NST's are open 24 hrs so i'm able to actually get in at anytime as long as i call an hour before hand. Never know if they have rooms even available or if someones going into labor and there's not enough nurses.
I mentioned Birthing Class above and that's correct I've started attending birthing classes, which to be honest may sound like a lot of huff puff but its really not that big of a deal. I received a nice book on the process of birth and its basically a free guide for anyone that maybe can't make it to the birthing class with u. For example my hubby was only able to go to the first class and won't be able to make the remaining classes, but because of the book that they provided our class with, he's able to follow along at home. I've already chosen three people to be in the room with me, and i did that before my doctor even told me she only allows three. My mom, aunt and of course the twins father will be my support/slave crew. I just don't like the idea of towns of people being in my face or around me, even more so when i'm in pain.... not very exciting. Plus cutting down how many people i have in the delivery room makes it so less family members try to have too much say in things. To be honest is the mr daddy to be had it his way it would only be us... but i know him and even though he's the strongest man i know, he'll shut down if he's not able to fix my pain. I luv him to death but i need to know i got some ppl with backbones on my side.
My side of the family...well on my mothers side are all in the medical field one way or another and have a huge amount of know how, that i find useful. Plus my mom is my mom and she's gotta be there and for my aunt not only is she my fave person in the whole world she also finished her RN studies and is wanting to work her way to be an OB so i'm loving the team i picked lol.

Later this week I'll be posting Baby shower photos and also my awesome crib set up lol. I'll shot for tomorrow but just in case i'm giving myself a week. If i'm not on it don't be shy to email me at KK_Mommas@yahoo.com also u can follow me on twitter @Cupcake_Kay
