Cravings

About a month ago, Joe asked me what we were going to do for dinner. I said "How about Chinese food?" I had been feeling a little better and it sounded pretty good. So I call and ordered $40 worth of Chinese food. The food arrived and everything looked good. We both made our plates and sat down to dinner. Two bites later I passed my plate to Joe and said "Oh no! The babies do NOT like Chinese food!" Joe had Chinese for lunch for about 2 weeks and I couldn't go near the fridge because of the smell! YUK!!

New Doctor

Well I have finally been released from the Center and found the doctor to deliver the babies. Joe and I saw him on 9/7 and went through all the initial tests for new patients. But I did find out many interesting things. Since I am having twins and since I had the abdominal surgery last year, I have to go with a C-section. The doctor will schedule it for 38 weeks (around March 22) but he said most patients with twins go into labor at 36 weeks (around March 8). Also, if the babies cooperate, I should be able to find out what they are (boy/girl) the week of Thanksgiving!!
My next sonogram is scheduled for 9/21 and then I have also scheduled a Nuchal test (find out what the odds are of the babies having Down's Syndrome) on 9/27. The Center only uses the best eggs/sperm so Joe and I are not worried about the Nuchal test at all. Anything abnormal, they discard.
