Feb 25th: 4 lbs of Baby

Well both babies are around 2 lbs...Ava is 2 lbs exactly and Ireland is 1 lb 15 ounces. Very close! :) Everything was good at the appointment and the Dr. said I have little chance of going into labor in the next 4 weeks, which is a good thing! They are laying transverse and each baby has their head between the other one's legs.
I am now tracking their kicks in a log and my next appointments are on the 12th with Dr. Brown and the 18th again, with Maternal Fetal Med.
All is well..Jake is making fun of my stomach a lot...which is awesome! :) We have a class to go to this weekend and hopefully will be getting a 3D scan soon....They tried today but the tech sucked!
Peace.

Last night OB Triage

Well I know this probably sounds exciting, but it really wasn't. I was feeling a lot of pressure in my abdomen so my doctor wanted me to go to the OB Triage at Healthpark to see if something was going on with my cervix...had to do a really fun test and sat in the room for about 3 hours with mom. Had some minor contractions while we were there and I was hooked up to 3 monitors...one for each baby and one for contractions.

Everything is ok...just have another bladder infection...awesome right? :) Just thought I would share.

Thank you Mom!

Babies Nursery

So we started working on it...Jake put the crib together with the help of me and my mom! We are only putting one up right now, since they will totally be able to fit in one for a bit...The room is getting there! YAY! :)

holy stomach!

So everyone wants to see pics of my growing belly. Here it is! Of course you have to realize there are two in there and they are probably now between 1.5-2 lbs and 12 inches or more... :) fun stuff! (also...had no makeup on!)


Hope you like!

Dec. 4th Dr. Visit

Went to the Maternal Fetal Medicine office. The babies are doing great! They are both at 11.2 inches and 1 lb 2oz!! Same exact size! The heartbeats were good, as well as the fluid around them (which is what they are watching very closely). I am constantly getting kicks too. Funny and sometimes annoying when they hurt! All is well though. They are active, which the Dr. said was great! I also noticed that they were sizing at a week further than they thought I was...so I asked them if I could be a week ahead and they said it was definitely possible. Mom and I thought I was further along!

Anyways, all is good! Enjoy the pics!

We've got a kicker!

Tonight I finally felt one of my babies kick...I laid my head on Shannon's belly and she kicked me right in the face. Lets hope that is not a sign of what's to come. For any of you wondering, it was Ava that kicked me...we named the one on the left (baby A) Ava and the one on the right (baby B) Ireland. It is so cool to feel that little alien kick. I can't wait for more butt whippins by the girls. Next up, Ireland.
