We are so excited to have made it to the big round 30 weeks! Only six more weeks of bed rest to go! :)
Everyone is breathing a huge sigh of relief that we've made it this far, but now we've moved from survival mode (since they'd have a >95% chance now) to hoping to keep them in as long as possible so that they can continue to thrive and we can minimize the risk that they will have any serious complications. I continue to remain cautiously optimistic, though there is sadly still that little voice in me reminding me that something can always go terribly wrong, regardless of what we do.
My weekly check-up went fine yesterday. The cerclage is holding, though my cervix is still short. I didn't really get any resolution to my latest issues, which include: severe reflux (often waking me in the middle of the night) and the terrible reaction I'm having to my 17P injections. The meds I can take for these aren't really helping.
Next week, we have another u/s and growth scan. I am really looking forward to seeing the kids again and how big they are getting (hopefully pushing 4 lbs./ea!). Then beginning @ 32 wks., we start going downtown to the hospital for weekly non-stress tests (NSTs).
It is hard to believe that we are now in our last full calendar month of pregnancy, since the latest they will be left in to bake will be Dec. 30th., but they will likely come sometime before that, but hopefully next month.
Looking forward to an extra hour of sleep this weekend. Enjoy! :)

I can't believe we're in the 30's!! I am so excited! I still worry, naturally, and am always so grateful to feel the baby move/kick. You're doing great K! Hope the babies cook for much longer!
Yay for 30 weeks! I know it's been a long and stressful 30 weeks for you but I feel like it was just the other week we were waiting on your beta results! lol.
So exciting!!!
