Well, right now it's 1:17am on October 30, 2008. Yes, I am awake and no, it's not because I want to be. The girls seem to be having a party inside me just like every other night and on top of that I'm just not comfortable any more.
The latest news on the pregnancy is that I have developed pre-eclampsia and as a result the girls could be delivered any time. Today I'm 33 weeks and 4 days into this pregnancy. The last resort delivery date is December 1, 2008 however there's just about no chance I'll make it that long. Yesterday I started a series of steroid shots to help the girls' lungs develop a bit faster (although they are usually in pretty good shape by 34 weeks which is this Sunday!) in the event I need to deliver during the next week or so. It does look like the pregnancy is going to be wrapping up soon!
I am currently having ultrasounds and fetal non-stress tests twice a week until delivery to make sure the girls are healthy inside me. At my last ultrasound (yesterday) they looked great. At the last growth scan ultrasound (nearly 3 weeks ag0) they were both pushing 4lbs each, so by the next growth scan (next Wednesday) they should be well on their way to 5lbs each.
Ok, I think that's it for tonight. I'll be sure to post an update when I know more!

Hey girl! I am soooo glad that you started this blog! I've been wondering about the twins (didn't know it was girls--that's great!) I will definitely be a faithful follower and will absolutely LOVE hearing all about it! And for years to come I will be full of advice in what is good for twin girls...lots of love and we'll be praying for the delivery! Abby:-)
