30 Weeks Pregnant

Went to the doctor today and found out that H1 has decided to flip around and is now breech. Yuck! That means that I will more than likely be having a c-section. Keep your fingers crossed she decided to try and kill me and break my ribs moving back around.

H1 is now 3lb 6oz and H2 is 3lb 8oz. They are so big now they can't take pictures on the ultrasound. They are so big and squished in my belly...it's crazy!

27 Weeks Pregnant

I went to both my regular doctor and the specialist this week. Everything is going great and each of my girls has gained a pound in the last month! They are officially 2lbs 6oz and 2lbs 7oz. Amazing how fast they grow.


I go and get my Rogam shot next week for my Rh incompatibility. I am not really looking forward to that but whatever it takes to make sure my girls are okay. Then, in 2 weeks I have another appointment with my regular OB to check up again. Busy Busy!


Started working on our honeymoon scrapbook tonight. I got two pages completed and the third is close. Only millions more (it seems) to go.


This weekend is going to be all about getting the nursery cleaned out and painted so wish me luck!

Heads Together...Both Head Down!!!

                            

H1 and H2

26 Weeks Pregnant

So, here I am officially at 26 weeks. The past two weeks have gone by pretty fast and the babies have grown at what seems like break-neck speeds. It's amazing to feel them week to week. The difference in their kicks are amazing. Before they were just little bumps, now, it feels like someone is pushing a pork rib bone across my stomach from the inside out. That's really the best way I can describe it at this point. But there are 4 rib bones pushing and moving at one time. I can honestly say that I have some very busy little girls. They are constantly moving and grooving!

Our A/C ran out of coolant and it's been H-O-T in the house this past week. Not to mention that I am super hot from being pregnant on top of it all. Our "handyman" is going to be coming this afternoon to refill us. I am very happy about that. No more 80 degree weather indoors. Woo-Hoo!

Did I mention that we finally got our sectional?!? I love it and am so happy it's finally here. I'm such a hormonal basket case I started crying when we first put it in because I started imagining the girls pulling up on it and using it to learn to walk. Yes, I know, "But H2Mommy, they aren't even born yet!"

Another 24 Week Update

I went to my regular OB appointment today and got my test results back from the blood work I did on Monday. My gestational diabetes test came back negative (YEAH!) but my anemia/blood iron test came back very, very low. This really makes sense and I thought this would probably happen. With twins they like to drain you of your iron much more than just one baby and I was slightly anemic to begin with even before becoming pregnant. I now have to take an iron supplement everyday along with my other vitamins. The iron pills are huge! I thought the prenatals were large...they got nothing on these bad boys. But, as I've said before...whatever it takes to make sure the girls are healthy and I'm healthy for them. Whatever tests they wanna do, if it'll help the girls, I am all for it.


At my next appointment (28 weeks) I have to get a shot because I the girls and I am Rh incompatible. This really isn't going to be a big problem. My Mother and I were incompatible and everything went well.

We are supposed to be able to pick up our sofa today. I am going to call and confirm that it's there and let them know what time R will be coming to get it. Hopefully everything goes well this time. It'll be nice to actually have have my living room look normal. Right now it's just a big 'ol mess.

24 Weeks Pregnant

I went to the girls 24 week ultrasound appointment today and everything is going great. They are officially out of the woods when it comes to the twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome and they are still 100%.


The girls were sitting in the position in which Baby A (H1) would come out first and Baby B (H2) would be second. Today we found out that they have switched and H2 would be first if they came right now and H1 would be second.



They are also both breach at the moment (that can and probably will change) and about 12 to 12.5 inches long. H1 weighs 1lb 8 oz and H2 weighs 1lb 7oz so far. It's amazing to see how much they've grown already. They were both wiggling so much that the doctor had some trouble getting good photos because they wouldn't hold still.

Baby B "H2"
