30 Weeks Along...

Well last Friday marked the start of week 30 for the twins and I. We had our next ultrasound just yesterday and both babies are doing great! Baby A is measuring in just under 3 lbs, which is high end of average. Baby B is measuring in at about 3 lbs 3 oz which is above average. Both were VERY active during their photoshoot. We were happy to see everything was still going ok with both babies.

I have been feeling pretty good still. A little bit more tired then I had been. But I am carrying a lot around at this point. And working 40-45 hours and chasing a very active 19 month old doesn't help I am sure! I am really hoping that we are able to go another 8 weeks without any issues. It's the best thing for all of us. I have to go in Monday for my gestational diabetes test, I flunked my 1 hour glucose test. So now I get to go through a 3 hour test. Yay! Can you sense the sarcasm?? Hopefully that comes back ok and we don't have to worry about it. The same morning I have my check up with the Dr. I might get a delivery date planned? We'll see. I asked at our last appointment if they delivered twins at 38 or 39 weeks for a scheduled c-section and he said he had to see what the board recommended. I.e. what insurance companies pay for I am sure...:) So I'll keep you posted.

Braxton has been doing great. He has adjusted very well to changing babysitters. Nan or 'Nana' as he calls her, had to go back to work at the school so we had to change our day care situation up. We were very lucky to find a friend of ours that wants to watch all three kids once I go back to work! And at our house! The only time we need to juggle is b/t now and when the babies come. But we're making due.

Well that is the latest. So far so good. Hoping all continues to go as well for the next 2 months! They are going to be here before we know it. Exciting and nerve racking all at the at the same time :)

28 weeks and counting...

Well, we've made it to the 28 week mark. And so far so good. Both mom and babies are doing well. As of our last ultrasound, July 22nd, both babies were measuring good and seemed to be right on track. We had our Dr. appointment on July 27th to follow up on the growth scan and the Dr. said that Baby A was measuring close to 2 lbs and Baby B was about 5 grams less, which is very minor. And both babies were neck and neck for overall size. He did say that Baby B seems to have more fluid in its sac than Baby A. And they want to watch that b/c it could be a sign of a potential issue with the baby's ability to swallow. He also said, it could be b/c I could potentially have gestational diabetes. I had my sugar test on Friday 8/5 so now I have to wait and see what the results come back with.

But overall we are all doing ok. I have gained 17 lbs total. Not too terrible considering there are two babies in there and I am 28 weeks in. I am measuring about 5 weeks bigger then I am, which too is normal. The hardest thing lately is sleeping. I am having a harder time getting comfortable. And reflux is terrible! I don't know how people live with that all the time?! Thank goodness I know there is an end to mine once these babies come. We're really hoping that I can carry them all the way through October. The more time they are in there the better. So keep your fingers crossed!!!
