28 AND 29 WEEKS!!!!

It has been a busy past two weeks! We just got moved into our new house and have some unpacking to do! It is so nice to be in our own home!!!!

Now to the good stuff....I had an Ultra Sound on April 23rd and it was by far the best one :) The only thing I would have wished for, was Grant to be there. He was traveling and couldn't make it, so his wonderful Mom was along my side :) I filled him in completely with all the details! The babies were very busy the whole time. The little girl is still heads down and the little boy is breech. As the tech did all her measuring, both babies are looking GREAT! The boy is 2 lbs 11 oz and the girl is 2 lbs 9 oz. It is a blessing that they are so close in weight and one is not stealing all the goods. They both measured right on track at 28 weeks. God has blessed up with amazing babies that are both growing at the same rate....wow, how thankful we are :)

So as the ultra sound went one, the little girl had the hiccups...after she got rid of then, the little boy got them. It was so cute to see their heart rate and a bump jump from a hiccup. I got to see the little girl blinking her eyes and the little boy stick out his tongue :) How exciting to feel so connected with these babies...absolutely amazing! The past couple days at work I have felt the little girls foot kicking at my ribs, then a foot will be at the surface of my skin. I love it...it puts a smile on my face knowing that they are both inside being active and growing to be strong little babies :)

My check-up with the Doc this past Monday went Great! I measured at 33 weeks and he was very happy with the growth of both babies. I continued to tell me to take it easy and be careful. I am past the critical point, but we want to keep the babies inside for at least 7 more weeks! I pray that God continues his plan and the babies grow at a healthy rate. Thank you Lord!!!

Overall, I am still feeling great. The belly is growing and it is getting a little harder to breathe when sitting down, but once again...I can't complain for how great this entire pregnancy has been. I pray that God continues to be with both the babies and myself. Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers and I look forward to seeing you all soon!

26 & 27 WEEKS

Sorry I missed a few postings. Our Internet has been misbehaving...so here I go :) I had my glucose testing and it was not as bad as people make it sound. I had to drink this orange flavored drink that tested like really flat thick pop. I drank it fast and didn't turn back! After doing that, I had my 26 week check-up. My body and the babies are still on track and doing great. I measured at 31.5 weeks, which is pretty normal due to the two little ones in there :) It is funny...I don't look that much further along, Doc says the 6'1" frame def helps :) We scheduled my next ultra sound and then headed back down to the lab to get blood drawn for the glucose test. You had to sit for an hour before drawing the blood. It went great, I looked at the wall and the session went well :) Needles are a bit of a weakness for my stomach! Needless to say, I never heard from my Doc...so no news is GOOD news...I passed the test!!!!



As the weekend went on, Grant and I found 2 cribs that we purchased...a white one for the little Girl and a cherry one for the little Boy. One more thing to cross off our list...yippeee!



As for the start of week 27...things are still going great! I would say my energy is starting to dwindle down a little compared to majority of my 2nd tri-mester. Sleeping at night is getting a little uncomfortable. Just a lot of tossing and turning...so when it is time to get up in the morning, I am ready :) I can't complain though...I still feel wonderful and I am loving every minute of carrying these 2 little precious bundles of JOY! They have both been pretty busy in there...quite the active babies we have on our hands :) Grant has got to feel them move several times! It is so amazing to feel them moving...no words describe the feeling!



I have an ultra sound on April 23rd and then a follow-up appointment on the 27th for my 29 week appointment. WOW...can you say time is flying...or time flies when your having FUN! This is just amazing to think that God has blessed Grant and I with 2 babies...a boy and a girl! I cannot thank him enough for how wonderful this pregnancy has been for me and for being by my side this whole time. I pray that God continues to keep us on this fantastic path and that our babies are strong and healthy when the enter this world that will fill them with LOVE.



Thank you to each one of you who continue to pray and keep us in your thoughts! I will be updating you very soon...I promise!


PS...Grant and I just closed today on our new Home and we get possession this Friday. Thank you God for this blessing and be with us as we pack up, move and unpack :)

25 TERRIFIC Weeks

How do the weeks fly sooo fast?!? We have come upon 25 weeks and everything is still going wonderful! My belly has continued to grow and I am still feeling great :) My back has started to bother me a little bit, but I really can't complain. I am thankful that God has continued to bless the Babies and I :) I pray that he stays along our side and blesses these Babies with healthy nutrition and keep them inside Mommy until it is time to arrive around 36 weeks :) My experience has been amazing and I couldn't be more thankful for this miracle that has happened to Grant and I.

We have our 26 week appointment this Friday. I have the glucose testing to make sure that I do not have gestational diabetes (this is a normal routine for pregnancy). Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that my sugar level is normal and that the babies are still on track at 26 weeks :) I am interested to see what I measure at....last time my belly size was 4 weeks ahead of schedule...def 2 babies in there!!!

Hope all is well with everyone and I will update you after our appointment this week! Have a wonderful week and lots of love to you all :)

Enjoy the 25 week pics!!!
