Emotional Rollercoaster

So, I went to the doctor today for a check up.  I am 30 weeks today but I'm measuring 37 weeks!  I can't help but be excited about the twins coming soon but I'm also scared out of my mind.  At about 3:00 this morning i woke up like normal to use the bathroom.  What I thought was going to be a normal trip to the restroom came with a surprise.  I was having some pain and cramping when I woke up and got back into bed.  I stayed up for a few minutes and waited to see if it was anything serious.  The pain stopped and I went back to bed.  When I woke up again at 6:00 to get ready for work, the pain was back.  Not serious pain, but enough to make me uncomfortable and stop what I was doing.  I got to school this morning and a lady I work with said, "Anna, you have dropped big time."  I immediately started tearing up.  I'm not sure exactly why.  I think it's because I'm scared that the babies will be too small or unhealthy, I'm ready to get out of school, I am exhausted, etc.  Just a mixture of things.  I had that pain on and off all day and here's where the fun comes in.

After hearing those wonderful heartbeats of my beautiful baby girls, Doctor G told me that the pain I was experiencing was and is mild contractions.  He told me that  the magic number is week 34 for the girls to be completely healthy without steroid shots, tube feedings, etc.  He didn't check to see if I am dilated any because he didn't want to aggravate anything.  He said that he wanted to check me next time, though.  Then I of course asked my list of questions.  He told me that he didn't think I would last any longer than four more weeks.  FOUR WEEKS!!! Holy cow.  (Normally twins come between weeks 34-36)  He wanted me to go ahead and schedule my c-section.  The hospital won't let you schedule a section, if it is your first, before 38 weeks and since I'm having twins and it's my first, the hospital would only allow me to schedule it for my 38th week which would be July 7th.  We are scheduled for that day, but Doctor G bets his medical degree that the babies will be here in 4 weeks, which would be the week of June 7th.  This is a special week because this is mine and Justin's sisters birthdays.  They are 1 day apart on June 8th and 9th.  That would be awesome if they could come this week.  What a birthday present! 

Please pray that I will make it another 4 weeks and that everything will be perfect with the babies.  Also, please pray for Justin's grandfather.  He had to be put back in the hospital today and we want him to get better asap!!!
