Better Late Than Never, right?

I started a blog for Justin when I was about 1/2 way through my pregnancy. I kept it up for the 1st year of his life, then I turned his baby blog into a recipe blog and started a cake blog... and kind of got sick of typing. Also, thanks to the wonderful world of Facebook, I could update everyone about Justin every 5 seconds if I wanted to (and do some days). I've been catching myself looking back at his blog like a baby book the last few weeks and I don't want to miss out on that with our next babies.
Yep- I'm sure everyone knows but it's babieS with an "s". We're having boy/girl fraternal twins in a few weeks. I'm starting this blog at 32 weeks 4 days pregnant. The hospital called to confirm our c-section for the morning of March 24th, so the countdown is on. As of right now, twin A (Brandon) is head down and twin B (Natalie) is transverse, kind of like this (but she's facing up last I knew)

We scheduled the c-section because delivering them in this position is a gamble. Once Brandon is safely out, Natalie will essentially "fall"- could be head first and then she'd be delivered. Could be bum or feet 1st- which would require a c-section. Some doctors will do a breech extraction (pull baby B out by feet or attempt to turn internally) but it's not something my Dr is comfortable with so that is a-ok with me. We have our next sonogram Feb 17th so we'll see who is positioned where then.
