Oh shit moment of the week (wk26)

Last Thursday we got some bad news from our OB Dr. Weiss that Chrisy's cervix length is retreating too fast. (right now it's 27mm, only 3mm away from danger zone) Dr. Weiss gave Christy two options: A - bed rest immediately, hopefully she can keep them in for at least 4 more weeks. B - If she doesn't, he'll put her in the hospital. Within 5 minutes, Christy and I went from "pregnant is beautiful" to "WTF!?" This all came so suddenly. On the way back to work from the doc's office we didn't speak a word with each other for 20 minutes, trying to absorb what this means.

This actually gave me a slight panic attack. "Holy Shit! Are we ready?" According to Dr. Weiss if she doesn't take it easy the twins can arrive too early and cause lots of problems. "What if the twins arrive in the next two weeks?" "Will our insurance cover the infant ICU cost?" Luckily we've got the baby room pretty much set up. but from here on now I'm gonna go buy/return all the baby stuff on my own! Also, since Christy's on bed rest, we both need to figure out what this means for our work...

D-day is getting close, and I still haven't finished all my readings!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!
