TWINNER UPDATE

On September 1st Stephen woke up and said, "hey our babies could come next month" WOAH. He is absolutely right, halloween will be 36 weeks and all along we have been shooting for the last week in october or the first week of november. It just really sounds close when you say it like that! These babies are doing really really well. The doc is pleased with how well and quickly they are growing, he estimated at our last appointment that they are around 2.4 lbs each! And I was 28 weeks. Apparently that is odd, but good, that they weigh the same. We had a little glitch...I failed my glucose test:( By 3 stupid points! OH MY AWFUL having to redo that test! They make you come to the hospital at 8AM FASTING and draw your blood right when you get there. Then they have you drink 3x the normal amount of that horrible glucose drink (and this time it was not cold, making it much harder to choke down) then they draw your blood again at 9, 10 and finally 11AM. Then you are allowed to eat. FOUR pokes. ONE arm. ONE terrified of needles mama to be. Gosh I'm glad that is over. As we were walking out I told Stephen that I felt like Hercules when Haytes drained him of all his strength for 24 hours. Haha! Can you tell I was a little out of it? Anyway...everything is fine now. I'm glad we made sure the babies are okay. And I'm happy to announce I passed the second test with flying colors. Also at our last appointment baby girl (who will come first) was bum first. She moved a ton but she kept that bottom down. We aren’t worrying just yet but if she doesn’t get with the program we may have to really consider scheduling a C section. Whatever is best for the babies but I hope it doesn’t come to that. We also got a pretty sweet shot of her darling face

Boy was squirming and we couldnt see him very well. Surprising, usually its the other way around! She also yawned several times. Cutest thing ever. It is so cool that we get to see them every visit and these last two appointments we got a DVD of the ultrasound. Modern technology is such a beautiful thing. I'm so excited for the next couple weekends! This weekend my wonderful friends and family are throwing me a baby shower! And next weekend is the Idaho open house for Mallory's wedding. Meaning I will get to see lots of family again:) So much to look forward to AND its Fall. What could be better?
