31 weeks

Had a doctor appt today and told Doug not to worry about coming because it was my first appointment with no ultra sound. I ended up having an exam and finding out that my body is preparing for labor! I left the dr. office stunned and found myself talking to the babies out loud. "Stay in there babies. At least 3 more weeks." I am hoping they listen.

I go in to the hospital tomorrow morning to Labor and Delivery for a non-stress test and then go back to my doctor in one week. After calling Doug to give him the news, we were both a little freaked out today. I just walked into the "babies' room" and looked at the mess of things on the floor and thought--wow, we really aren't ready for them to come.

After Doug's sister Jenn encouraged me, I called the nurse at my dr. office and asked some questions. The nurse said that this is pretty common with twins and that I don't need to worry about bed rest. She also said I don't need to talk to my boss about the possibility. She just said that I need to not do anything "strenuous". I think that's my least favorite thing that they keep telling me. Sometimes I think the schedule I keep is too strenuous. This is one way of getting me to scale back...
