30 weeks down. How many more to go?

With each week that passes we are thankful the boys are continuing to remain in oven.  Even though our goal is to make through August, we'd really like to make it as far into September as possible before they arrive.  That way they have time to get as fat as possible!  That, and of course it gives their organs more time to develop...namely their lungs.

At my last appointment a couple weeks ago I weighed 142 and the boys were 2.3 and 2.0 pounds.  Yesterday at my appointment I weighed 146 and the boys weighed 3.2 and 3.9 pounds!  So, the three of us had a major growth spurt!  And let me tell you!  I'm feeling that growth!  My big belly is extra itchy and the faint stretch mark lines are starting to appear.  My lung space is rapidly decreasing and my ankles & feet are nice and swollen by the end of the day.  In fact, they border the cankle line (you know, when your calves and ankles meld together)!  I tell Scott that the only way for the swelling to go down is if he massages my feet and calves.  So far that's working! :0)  Now I just need to think of a good reason to continue the massages once the boys are born...hhhhmmmm.  Any suggestions?


Here is a picture from my ultrasound this week.  It is Baby B's face.  The tech got the picture just as our little guy was trying to get his thumb in his mouth.  It looks like he's actually picking his nose with his thumb!
 

This past Saturday we had our second and final 3D/4D ultrasound at the Stork Vision in Chandler.  Some of the family came to visit and bring baby supplies so they joined us.  As you can tell, it's not as many as we had at the first one, but it was still a lot! 



Thanks for coming to visit!  And thanks mom, Aunt Sarah and Aunt Elainea for all the matching outfits for the boys.  Now people will definitely know they are twins when we take them out. 

Have a good weekend!  Hopefully some of you are able to enjoy the monsoon rain like we've been getting here in Tempe!

  1. So exciting!! Baby B is such a handsome little guy. Jason thinks it's only fair that one of the boys look like him since Oliver is the spitting image of Scott ;)
