I'm carrying 2 pineapples? 2 cantaloupes? If the pregnancy apps I'm following are correct, each baby should be around 5lbs and 18 inches long about now. That's a LOT of baby! I'll know for sure when I go to the high risk doctor on Wednesday and they do an ultrasound with measurements. I'm excited to find out!
That explains why I looked like this as of last week...
My most recent appointment was Thursday where we had a biophysical screen ultrasound, and the boys and I passed the test with flying colors. Still on "modified" bedrest, but it's working because my contractions have slowed WAY down - just a hand-full a day! I've allowed myself to go out to dinner both of these last weekends and enjoy some easy-does-it time with friends.
I also took a couple hours of one-on-one time with Ryleigh. I wanted to give her some "Mommy & Me" time before the boys arrive. We chose pedicures (her first one) and a lunch date! I was exhausted when we got home, but she told me that it was the "best day ever," so totally worth it!!!
Let's see, what else has been going on?
Sarah Fox took my maternity portraits last weekend, and I've only seen 3 images so far, but I'm SO happy with how they turned-out. I can't wait to see the rest!
Working from bed has been interesting... Barry bought and put together a bed desk that has made it possible for me to be effective and on my side all day.
Barry has been busting it at work - working long hours to get ready to be out when the boys arrive. But he's also been helping me work through our to-do list, and as of this past weekend, there is nothing left on the "get ready for the twins" to-do list!!! The hospital bag is packed (just in case), the final pieces are in place in the nursery and all the car seats are installed. The girls LOVE their new spot in the way back... we'll see how long they love it ;).
And let's close this out with a dose of cuteness, this time over ice cream because why not!?!
I'll post another quick update after my doctor's appointment later this week. Root for us that we make it at least 1 more week because then we may avoid the "mandatory NICU" requirement. Until I am able to post again later this week... ((hugs))!
