Long story short, Baby A failed his NST again and had a drop in his heart rate during monitoring. The Drs got concerned by what they were seeing so they wanted me to go in for prolonged testing and a Biophysical profile (basically, an ultrasound).
Since I'm not past the 36-week mark, we had to go to the hospital that's farther away and has the appropriate NICU level. We were there for like four hours...and I was hooked up to the monitors for about 2 hrs. The boys got flying scores on the ultrasound and overall the monitors showed good movement...so at the end they let me go!. It made for such a long day though...the nurses didn't even want to give me water just "in case" an emergency procedure was needed.
In case of what people? I've had discussions with the boys and they're staying put for another 5-6 weeks!. I also told the babies they really need to start passing, it's not nice to make mommy stress!
So, we're thankfully home...still tired but happy to be baking the boys :)
During my talk with the Dr yesterday she mentioned that if Baby A was still breech (confirmed later by the ultrasound) then we will be scheduling the c-section next week...most likely for between week 38-39. I'm going to schedule it as late as I possibly can. I rather let the boys choose their own birthday so I want to give them a chance to come when they're good and ready.
Thank you all so much for the comments on the nursery!

Oh my! Glad it was uneventful trip:) They are always so cautious with babies, which is a good thing. Glad you are homing and continuing to bake!
