There’s no way it goes past 29 days. Dr. Cowan promised. And Stacey will hold his ass to it.
The most prevalent question we get is “are you ready?”
According to the scare-your-pants-off twins book I’m into, the answer is no. But is anyone ever really ready?
I mean, the house is in good shape. Corky and Karen came by last week and helped a bunch. Cribs are built. We’re fully painted. New sod and gardens are in. Hospital luggage is packed. Office almost done – new MacBook Pro as I type (oh yeah). I hear some custom-built dressers (one for each kid) are even getting a final sanding (Go Dad!)
WEEK 34 FACTS
Big milestone. Stacey can go any day now and the babies would be in decent shape (longer is better, full term is 42, I think, twins are always early).
Mom is a trooper. Lots of different and new and uncomfortable things happening. Even some fake contractions. Her body shows that the babies have “dropped”.
We took four childbirthing classes and we’re pros on “he he he who”. Repeat.
But if the boy doesn’t go for a dive, we’ll likely need a C Section anyway.
Like I said, “any day now…”
(remember that Ronnie Milsap song?)
