Twins class

Today we attended a twins class at the hospital. The instructor was a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurse who gave birth to twin sons of her own. If we learned anything from the class, it was that we want our pregnancy to go as full-term as possible! That means strictly obeying bedrest orders, staying well-hydrated, avoiding stressful situations, etc. We toured the NICU and saw a preemie baby who was delivered last week at just 25 weeks gestation! That would be like if I delivered our babies this Wednesday! The baby we saw was a twin girl, and she was the tiniest baby I'd ever seen. Her legs were so skinny and pinkish translucent- they looked like frog legs. It was just heart-breaking to see her twitching her little limbs under the harsh light of the incubator. So yes, God-willing I'll keep our boys inside of me for as long as possible!
