31 Weeks tomorrow; May I please slap this stranger?

Another doc appt this morning showed that things are staying stable.  Great news. 

I went last Wednesday for my first NST at Beaumont.....all turned out fine.  I used the valet for parking.  I sat on a bench waiting for my car to be brought around next to a woman who looked to be about 55-60.  She was perfectly nice at first...when are you due? do you know the sex?....bla bla.  When I tell her about the twins she says to me "Oh, I had twins once.  They didn't make it.  They passed away."  WTF?  My mouth dropped open and I stared at her with this WTF look.  I managed to utter a confused sounding "sorry" and she walked away to get in her car.  Who says that to a woman still pregnant with twins and obviously at the hospital for testing.  I wanted to yell that there is a couple floors full of pregnant women upstairs for her to go spread her good cheer. 

Yesterday was Mother's Day.  Kaul sent me 2 dozen long stem roses in a variety of colors that were beautiful.  I insisted that he not give me any other gifts since there is nothing I could really use unless be bought me a new pillow!  He did fulfill my one request though put the cushions on the lounge chair outside so I could enjoy the nice day with Sydnee followed by a great dinner.  I feel so completely blessed to have the amazing husband and daughter that I do and I cannot wait to add 2 more miracles to our family. 

The doctor said that if the babies choose stay in, she sees no reason to deliver earlier than 38 weeks.  Even if I make it that long, that is only 7 more weeks maximum before our little prince and princess join our blessed family!
