Tonight is the night

This is a guest post by Carrie's husband.

I took Carrie to her final appointment this afternoon. Carrie has been having more frequent contractions for the last few days and generally not feeling well. Today, she also has a headache and the contractions continue to get more painful.

The babies looked great during the ultrasound but contractions continued. After the ultrasound, the doctor decided to send her over to Triage for NST monitoring. The contractions only got stronger throughout the day. After a few hours of monitoring and an extra dose of nifedipine, the contractions are still getting stronger. Dr P. has been checking in every few hours and decided to go ahead and schedule the delivery tonight. The babies will be born in about 2 hours. Carrie will post more tomorrow.

    Your little 3 should be here by now.

    Congratulations on becoming parents & for keeping them safe for as long as you could. The long road of NICU/SCN now awaits you, but have faith that your tiny fighters will be healthy, strong & home before you know it.

    Hope all went great last night. You very nearly made it to the 34 week goal (cause darn it, 33+5 is close enough), so congrats. What a huge achievement. Hope the babies are showing their thanks already by being nice and big and healthy and behaving well!
