Baby A: Part 2

My husband said upon hearing of the double residency that had taken up in my belly, I went completely white.  Now, I am already pretty pale, so there was probably some translucence happening.  The nurses chose the next moment to take my blood pressure...
The doctor let me know that multiples automatically qualified this as a high risk pregnancy.  Since I am no spring chicken (more like an early autumn hen), I had already had some concerns about my age at which time the doctor informed my that I was an elderly multigravida.  Doesn't that sound mystical?  Ahh yes, the elderly multigravida can only be summoned by mixing ground chicken bones and groundhog saliva in a virgin glen under the light of a waxing moon. It just means it's at least your second pregnancy and your due date is after your thirty-fifth birthday.  Boring and couldn't they have thought of a nicer way to say that?
The doctor let me know that they would confirm the type of twins, but they believed they were identical with separate sacs, but sharing a placenta, otherwise known as monochorionic diamniotic twins.  Due to some uncommon complications that can occur, my practitioner said that she usually delivered these types of twins by 34 weeks gestation.  She sent me for some tests and blood work to rule out a few genetic issues and off she went.
Meanwhile, what was I thinking...
34 weeks?  Does that mean it will have to be a scheduled c-section?  Could they induce?  Do they both have to be head down?  I only have four place settings for my everyday dishes.  How is a family of five going to work?  When we visit my husband's parents, they won't be able to get us from the airport.  Will we rent a car or will they have to take two?  How do you breastfeed twins?  I'll never sleep again.  I need to start designing a new house (Our current one, I specifically designed to have two children's rooms with the same dimensions.).  If they come early, what if they are born on our oldest daughter's birthday?  You know, that happened in Full House.  Becky's twins came early right in the middle of Michelle's Flintstone-themed birthday party.  I don't want her to have to share a birthday.  You know my first child was 10lbs 14oz.  I bet these will just slide out.  We aren't going to have any time after they are born, so hubby better schedule his vasectomy now.
Is your head spinning?  Mine definitely was and I was off to do some research...

Random Side Note:  As a child, one of my favorite things to do was get graph paper from my mom and draw out house plans.  Priorities were a little different then.  Ironically, I planned for two sets of twins(a set of girls and set of boys, probably because my best friends at the time were twins), having a room just for the many cats I thought I'd have on each of three floors with their own stairwell, and an indoor pool. A girl can dream. ;)
