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 :)


Enjoy a few pictures of the GROWING BABIES BUMP!!!
