3 Days Left!!

So a date has been set for Monday, November 23rd!!!! I only have 3 more nights then two sweet girls will be here. I am so very excited. Everything looks good with them, so hopefully they shouldn't spend any time in the nicu. Hopefully we will all come home on Thanksgiving day. I will make sure that I post pictures and keep everyone informed of how it went. Thank you for all your love and support during the past 8 1/2 months!!!!

36 Weeks!!

Well I have made it to 36 weeks. On Friday they measured a little over 6 lbs each. Baby A is still head down but now Baby B's head is under Baby A. So it is very difficult for the Perinatologist to measure. He also did not agree to taking them on the 19th. So now I think the date is the 24th of November. I should get confirmation sometime this week. I was disappointed because not only am I ready to see them but I am also in a lot of pain now. Once I get confirmation on the date I will update my blog, so as of today I have 8 days left!!!! Matt and I are ready!

Me at 34 Weeks

Here is a picture of my belly at 34 weeks. My belly is huge! And I am wearing a black tank top for personal reasons....no longer will I be able to show my belly. :)

The End is Near!!!

I went to my doctor today and we decided on a date, November 19th!! Unless of course they want to come earlier....but I hope not. That means in two weeks I will be holding two precious baby girls. I am so excited to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Both girls are doing great, they are just smushed in there. Last week they were measured and Baby A is approx. 5.5 lbs and Baby B is appox. 5.12 lbs. And since my stomach hasn't gotten too much bigger since last week, they probably haven't grown too much. I am not sure where they would grow to. If I have a c-section they will probably shoot out like cannon balls and the doctor's will have to catch them, my stomach is so stretched out. :) I don't have any new pictures because they are really difficult to get because of how they are laying. So unless anything new happens I will update next Friday after my appointments.

33 Weeks!

Yesterday I had both of my doctor appointments. My doctor said that everything is going great. She didn't want to set any dates because I am doing so well so wants me to go into labor on my own. I also only have one more week then I am out of the pre-term labor stage, so that was excellent news. Hopefully in another 4 weeks I will have babies!!! My sonogram doctor only measures them every other week, so next week I will have approximate weights for the girls. And there are no signs of them coming soon! I go again next Friday so I will update again then.

32 Weeks!!!

I went to the doctor on Friday and Baby A is appox 4.7 lbs and Baby B is approx 4.15 lbs. They weight more than Joseph did when he was born. Baby B is breeched again, but she could still flip. I am praying that I will make it another 4 weeks or so. This Friday I see my doctor and maybe we will start discussing dates. As for me I am hanging in there. I have horrible carpal tunnel, I have to wear those wrist braces which are helping so much. Matt says that I look like I am going bowling...very funny! My belly measures a little bigger than a singleton belly now, so you can only imagine how huge my poor belly is. If my doctor gives me some news this Friday I will be sure to share. I have uploaded new sonogram pictures.

30 Weeks!!!

I am finally at the 30 week mark! I visited my sonogram doctor yesterday and he gave Matt and I great news!!!! Both girls are head down (now they just have to stay that way) and they are above average on weight! Baby A is approximately at 3.6 lbs and Baby B is at 3.16 lbs. My body is holding them very well and he said I should make it pretty far. Now I am just counting down the weeks! Their room is not quite finished yet, but here are some pictures of the progress!

28 Weeks!

Well last Saturday I hit the 28 week mark!!!! YIPPIE. Last Friday I had a sonogram and Baby A weighs approx 2.8 lbs and Baby B weighs approx 3.4 lbs. I am not driving anymore because it is very uncomfortable, which I don't think I was supposed to be driving for the past 6 weeks. My belly is getting bigger and bigger each week. I am just hoping I can make it another 8 weeks at least! I go to my doctor tomorrow so if she has any new news I will be sure to share it!

27 Week Update

Last Friday I went and saw the sonogram specialist and he estimated that Baby A weights about 2lbs 2oz and Baby B is at 2lbs 8oz. Which now it is a week later and I am sure they have grown since then. I go back to him next Friday and should hopefully get an updated weight. They are both doing great! I am however having a hard time doing anything. My belly and my hips are in a lot of pain. I have not been doing much but sitting around and resting. Not too much change lately, the girls are just growing.

24 Weeks!!!!

23 Weeks Along!!!

I had my doctor appointment this past Thursday, and she put me on moderate bed rest. She feels it necessary because of my severe back pains and contractions, that I need to take it easy. So my short term disability with work begins tomorrow. Whatever I need to do to make sure my babies come into this world healthy and strong.
On Friday I had a sonogram done again, and both girls grew. They are a little over a 1 1/2 lb each. Both of them are breached, which they may or may not turn. The bigger they get the less likely they will turn. I did not get any good pictures. I have to go again this Friday, so hopefully I will either have good pictures or a little video!

Hospital Visit

On Friday, August 8th, when I woke up at 6 am I have some blood in my urine. Of course the doctors office does not open until 8 am, so I went on to work. When I finally got a hold of a nurse she informed me that my doctor and nurse were on vacation. She asked me a series of questions and mainly because the bleeding had cramps and pressure associated with it she told me to go to Labor and Delivery at the hospital.
Matt, who is so nervous, picked me up from work and took me. They admitted me as an outpatient. The nurse, who was very difficult to understand, asked me questions, found two heart beats, took my blood pressure and then asked me more questions. At 10:15 I had an appointment with a Perinatal Specialist who's office is in the hospital. So in my lovely hospital gown they wheeled me to his office. He was super nice and took me in and we had a sonogram done and found out we are have TWO GIRLS!!!!! They are perfectly healthy and each have 10 finger and 10 toes. Baby A weights about 1 lb. 2 oz. and Baby B weights about 1 lb. 4 oz. He said that everything looks perfect and I could be just over doing it. So I needed to rest and take it easy from now on. When I was rolled back to the outpatient room they released me to go home and rest.
I have my actual doctor appointment this Thursday and I have to go see the sonogram specialist again on Friday. So I am waiting on what my doctor has to say.......

A Work in Progress.....
