28 wks...

We had our 28 week appointment today. All appears to be going well. As far as my back hurting, the doctor said it wouldn't get better till I stopped working! So this is one of the reasons that next week will be my last week working, that and the risk of preterm labor. The doctor thinks my uterus will get to a certain size and say "ok, I'm done" & therefore put me into labor. Otherwise the doctor doesn't think he will induce me until I am 38 wks! Oh my goodness! 10 more wks! How huge will I be then!!! He measured me to see how many wks I was (however many centimeters you measure that is usually how many wks pregnant you are). So, I measured 42 wks! Of course it is different with twins, but it was interesting to know that I will never be any bigger than I am now! :) 2 wks ago I measured 34 wks! And 2 wks before that I measured 31 wks, so they are steadily growing bigger!

Our next ultrasound will be on 8/22/08, so we can't wait! We love spying on our little guys!

Breaking Dawn Release...

So most of you know my obsession with the Twilight series...Well the fourth and final book was coming out on August 2nd at midnight...so naturally my girlfriends & I had to be there...but we had to make shirts first! :) So our weekly Tuesday night scrapbook night turned into Team Edward night!

So then we had to wear them out for the big night on the town!!!

We had so much fun! We met at my house at 8pm, went to Barnes and Nobel to get in line for our bracelets. Which we totally lucked out because our groups # started at 18 and continued on to around 30. Everyone seemed to get there after us! We went the Chick-Fil-A for desert & then came back & played games. They had trivia and then we were supposed to make Bella's Prom dress or Wedding dress in groups of 4 out of the supplies they gave us. Tammi's team won & they got $10 gift certificates they could use that night! It was a true girls night out & I loved it! I didn't get home till 2 am!

26 wks...

So this has been a fun week! I was having cramping since last Saturday, and on Monday night I started having contractions. Tuesday the contractions continued so the doctor sent me to the hospital to be monitored. They put me on bedrest starting Tuesday through Friday when I was scheduled to see the docotr. I didn't have anymore contractions, which was good and only a few cramps here & there...

So today we went to the Perinatal Office for our ultrasound. We brought Papa along with us since he had never seen an ultrasound. We got the same ultrasound specialist Teri, so it was a great visit! We had so much fun watching our little ones. They are currently positioned to make a circle around me. Both still able to kick each other in the head!

Baby A: Heartbeat was 140 BPM
Measuring 27 wks 3 days @ 2lbs 3 ozs (4 days ahead of schedule)

Baby B: Heartbeat was 143 BPM
Measuring 25 wks 5 days @ 1lb 12 ozs (only 1 day behind schedule)


Not too great of pics, but cute none the less...We love getting to spy on our little monkey's while they are in there...

Then we had our appoint with the OB today. All is well & I am measuring 34 weeks, which is 8 weeks ahead of a singleton! Plus I only gained 7/8 of a lb in the last 2 weeks...the babies grew but I shrank! :)

25 wks...Belly Shots

Ok so it's been a while since I put up some more belly shots! So here you go, it's me at 25 wks!

24 wks

We had our 24 week appointment with the OB. All looked well! We got to spy on our little ones for a brief moment so we could see their little heart beats. I am measuring 31 weeks, which is 7 weeks ahead of a singleton (1 baby), so I am doing well! We can't wait for our little ones! :)
