Our smaller baby was taken up in isolation in NICU yesterday with what seems to be a skin infection.
We are waiting for blood culture results, to know exactly what is going on.
He is currently on 3 broad spectrum antibiotics given to him intravenously.
Absolutely heartbreaking seeing him like this and being separated from him...

Tomorrow is the day...
So tomorrow is the day that we will meet our baby boys
Went for a CTG this morning, seems I was having quite a few contractions, did a quick check and 2 cm dilated.
Had to go back a couple of hours later to see if we would do an emergency c-section or wait for tomorrow, contractions slowed right down, so tomorrow it is,unless it starts up again...lol hope not!
I can't believe the time has come ....Very surreal

Too much stress
Finally It's the 6th and DH should be home tonight!!!
I can honestly say that the last couple of days have been some of the worst ever, not only was I super stressed out about him not being here but I also became aware that I had what seemed like constant Braxton hicks contractions, not fun.
And I can't sleep anymore....
It was so bad that on Saturday night I only slept for 40 min the whole night, every time I moved I would have a contraction.
Eventually phoned the clinic in the morning to find out what to do, according to the nurse it's false labour so all should be ok
By lunch time it felt like the babies head was stuck between my legs, could not stand up straight and had shooting pains traveling up the v jay-jay.
By 5pm I had kinda regular contractions of 5 min apart, and a really sore back and period like cramps.
DH called his cousin to pls take me to hospital as he was really worried.
So off to the hospital we went
So turns out they were only Braxton Hicks but seems like I have an irratable uterus, thus the tightening every few minutes.
Had an internal scan to check if I was dilated( OMW that was so sore!!!)
Seems I'm not dilated yet,but babies heads are def pushing hard on my cervix.
So good all in all, guess all the stress just got to me...
What was nice was getting to the maternity floor and hearing mostly South African accents, the nurses where amazing and so warm and friendly, it was so calming to hear them and feel like I had a little bit of home with me.
So today seems better, still have contractions or tightening of the uterus every couple of min still can't stand up straight and still have the shooting pains, but I'm feeling better
So if all goes according to plan the boys will be here in a week !?! Lol
Saw a mommy being wheeled out of the delivery room last night, with her sweet little new born, wow how surreal to think that will be me In a couple of days.
I feel so unprepared,so overwhelmed by the idea of having 2 babies, so scared of life as I know it changing forever ....but most of all so very, very grateful for these two little boys, that are making our dreams come true ...

36 weeks
36 weeks today!!!
Drs appointment was different I like facts and to know exactly what's going on, dr seems more relaxed and just go with the flow now ....
So c-section date moved up to 13 Feb,but she said it might happen sooner...
She didn't do a check on my cervix as she said I might be dilated, and she doesn't want me to worry about it, it could stay that way for weeks!
So that tells me that I might be dilated, and that's she is just leaving me to go into labour by myself! Not what I want! I'm scared and I'm alone!
And no more Doppler scan? At the last scan twin 1 amniotic fluid was on the low side but still within range, she didn't check it today? So how do I know that my babies are ok?
All of this is driving me insane!
And like I said before no hubby to help me stay calm...
Still not happy

Flying solo
So DH got called out to work and will be away until the night of the 6th...
So damn scared of doing this without him, I really don't think I'm gonna make it till then, as I have some telltale signs that these babies might be here sooner rather than later (let's hope I'm wrong).
What really gets to me is that we did plan, we made arrangements, we got the all clear,for him to be home the whole of Feb, but nasty creatures that they are just don't give a damn about anybody but themselves...
