Greetings! I can't believe 2 weeks have passed since I last updated. I wanted to update last week, but there really wasn't much news and we were busy celebrating Joy's 2nd birthday. I can't believe she is already 2 years old! It truly seems like she was born yesterday - I can still vividly remember the day! What a joy she truly was!
Today was my 2nd non-stress test. I am not exactly fond of these; however, it is nice to hear the babies heartbeats for an extended amount of time. It is so interesting to hear or feel them move and then watch and hear their heartbeats increase and then decrease (exactly what should be happening)! They are definitely little miracles! Baby A was slow to get moving today so I had to lie on the table much longer which is not exactly good for my back and hips with the pain I am having. Baby B is never slow to be moving so we knew it was good from the first 5 minutes. Anyway, both babies are doing very well and are showing no signs of stress! No contractions which is also a great thing! My blood pressure is good as well - so no worries there. I did measure 47 cm today (which breaks my normal doctor's record of 42 cm from another patient). However, my normal doctor was out of the office today so I saw one of her partners. His record is 56 cm, so he told me to keep working at it and I might make it - but then again this woman delivered a 12 lb 13 oz single baby! I could get there, but with a combined weight of that for the 2. We will just wait and see!
Other than that, not much news. I am feeling very big (looking big too) and trying my best to take it easy and not overdo it. There are days where I definitely do too much and my body tells me so, but other days I wonder if I am doing enough! It is very interesting. However, I think chasing two children around every day could be considered enough for a momma pregnant with twins!
This weekend, our oldest turns 4 years old! We are celebrating both girls' birthdays on Saturday morning before my dear husband has to go to work and then we will do something special for Blessing on Sunday, her actual birthday. Once again, where have the past 4 years gone? I can't believe that she is turning 4.
Both of our girls are growing up so quickly and way too fast! Blessing was helping us freeze corn yesterday by cleaning the silks off of the shucked ears - and my did she do an amazing job! Joy enjoys helping in any way she can - especially if she can sit on daddy or mommy's lap! Let me tell you, there isn't much room left on mommy's lap!
Well, that is it for now - I will try to post updated pictures of the girls soon as well as keep everyone updated on the weekly appointments. My next appointment is next week on Tuesday - another non-stress test and meeting with the doctor. The next week is an ultrasound - I hope I make it that far so I can see these precious babies again! It is so much fun to see them growing and changing inside of me...what miracles and what amazing technology!
Thanks for checking in!
