32 Weeks = 10 lbs of BABIES!!!

The growth scan was this morning and we found out that we have some BIG babies!  Which is great they say, they were real happy!  Doctor said that as long as my blood pressure stays down and things keep going the way they are that we will most likely make it to 36 weeks no problem!   That is only 4 weeks away!!  So anytime between 4 and 5 weeks, they should be here!  (we will be scheduling a c-section in the next week or two)
WOW!  Gonna be here soon!!!

So here are the stats:
BABY A (GIRL)  IS 5 lbs, 2 oz
BABY B (BOY)  IS 4 lbs, 14oz

So next week, I will start going in twice a week for the NST's (non stress tests), where they monitior the heartbeats to make sure they are fluctuating with movements the way they should.  I will now start going to Barnes for all appointments(same doctors), since we are getting so close and that is where I will deliver.

The Belly Show

This week we have really got to see a good Belly Show!  The babies were really moving around alot.  Michael was able to video them for over 6 minutes.  It was so great to see, and weird at the same time.  It didnt hurt or anything, but it was sure freaky and awesome!  As I write this, the babies are kicking up a storm!

Went to the doctor today and all is well.  We will find out how much they have grown next week, can't wait!  We thought we would get to find out sooner, but we had to wait.  The only bad part is that my sugar levels during the night are a little elevated, so I have to start taking a small dose of insulin at night.  So we'll see how it goes, but I think it will all be good. 

Two weeks after that I start going to the doctor twice a week for NST's (non stress tests).  I am actually swithcing over to Barnes Hostpital at this point(I had been going to MOBaptist), so that I can be familiar as it is getting closer to time and also so that all of my records will be over there, should something happen sooner than we think.  I will see the same doctors.

Labor Day Weekend

We hit 30 weeks this week and babies seem to be doing good!  Take a look at mommy's growing belly!!
We spent most of the holiday at home working on things in he babies' room and getting more clothes washed and ready to go!  Cat in the Hat is the theme, in case you can't tell, with our Thing 1 and Thing 2 it just seemed perfect!

Saturday I met with Amie to get our pedicures, it was a nice day and beautiful weather to be out and about in!  It would have been a perfect day for a winery trip, but we'll wait for that!  I am just glad the heat has not returned in full force, and I hope it stays away.
