I had an appt. yesterday and FINALLY didn't have to have an ultrasound done. It was so nice. (Even thought I have a level 2 ultrasound next Monday which takes about an hour). They listened to the babies hearts with the doppler and the heartrates were 145 and 154. I'm beginning to think there's at least 1 boy in there since Elliot's was never that low. When the nurse was listening to the hearts Elliot declared, "We have boys!" It was funny.
I've gained another 5 lbs. since my last appt. so that is good too! I am still measuring 2 weeks larger than I am (fundal height was 28cm.)
I'm a little bummed about the whole hospital setting still. For some reason I just can't get over it lately. I was asking some questions at my appt. and not only do I have to have the babies in the operating room, but I have to be on the O/R table! Do you know how awful, skinny, hard, FLAT those things are? I'm just kinda perplexed how you give birth on something like that? I asked the doc "how, squatting?" And he kinda ignored me. haha. He said they'll let me have lots of pillows--oh wow--thanks so much! UGH!!
I keep trying to talk Wes into doing an unassisted homebirth, but he's not on board--not one bit! :-) I understand why, because I know it's kinda crazy, but I also know we could do it. Maybe I've been too inspired by my hypnobabies MP3's I've been listening too! Which I said I'd review for you. The affirmations is very nice & inspiring. I've only done the hypnosis once and fell asleep. Gotta try it again.

Congrats on making it to 26 weeks already... I know you are probably more antsy than most of us to deliver- having two little sweet ones in that belly and all; which, by the way, is so incredibly cute! I was looking at your pregnancy pics when you were pregnant with El and your belly is almost as big as it was at the end of her pregnancy! ;) So sweet!
I'm sorry that you are being forced to deliver in the hospital, especially the OR. I feel you... I was really wanting to birth at a birthing center with my midwives, but due to the fact that they think that Ty is already over 7 pounds, they may want to induce me a couple weeks early... and that won't happen at the birthing center! :( I've come to the conclusion that all that matters to me is that my baby comes healthy and happy. I will keep you in my prayers regarding your birth of your little ones. :)
Lots of hugs,
Des
