Exciting News
I went to the OB on Monday and to my specialist on Tuesday. The great news is that my fetal fibronectin test came back negative which means I will not be going into labor in the next 2 weeks. This means we are safe until week 34 (I'm 32 weeks now). The specialist did the girls' monthly growth scan to make sure they are growing on schedule and that one is not stealing all the groceries and room in my belly. During this week twins weigh 3.45-4 lbs. Kaimi weighed in at 4 lb 10 oz and Ellie weighed in at 4 lb 13 oz. They are a week ahead of schedule. The specialist said we are probably looking to schedule the c-section towards the end of my 36th week to the beginning of the 37th week. He said we should for sure have them home for Christmas!!! So we are looking around the 19th-22nd of December unless they decide to come on their own before that. We pray that they stay in my belly and continue to grow until the doctors say it is showtime. I guess I can kiss all the preemie clothes that I've already bought and washed goodbye since it looks like we may have some good sized babies. Needless to say we are over the moon with excitement and can hardly wait to meet our 2 little angels.

April,
My name is Kirsten, and I'm a member of the public relations team that raises awareness for FullTerm, The Fetal Fibronectin test. I read your blog with interest and thought you might like to learn more about the test. Check out www.fullterm.net, and feel free to include the site as a link to your blog so that readers can access the information.
Additionally, if you're interested in helping spread awareness about the benefits of the FullTerm Test, please contact me by emailing fullterm@schwartz-pr.com. My team generates stories about the benefits of the test among women at high risk for delivering early in national, local and online outlets. In the last few months we've secured stories in Working Mother magazine, the FitPregnancy Blog and the Boston Parent's Paper. Most recently we secured the following article on the Lively Women Blog: http://www.livelywomen.com/2008/12/05/interview-prevention-of-preterm-births/#more-1458
We're always interested in speaking with women who had the test and are willing to share their experience to make sure other, at-risk pregnant women know there is a test available to help predict premature birth.
I hope to hear from you.
Regards,
Kirsten
