This must be nesting..28w

All of a sudden I feel like I have no time and a million and one things left to do. I feel like I will never be ready and maybe I should just hold my legs together til I have everything done. I know I still could have between 9 and 12 weeks but at the same time I could have only days.


My goodness am I getting round.






28 weeks baby development (from babycenter.com)

How your baby's growing:
By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds ((like a Chinese cabbage) hahah they were that big 2 weeks ago) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

Results ****update****

So I finally got my results back from my GD test and others I didn't know they were running. Bad news it looks like I have border line anemia. 4 categories in my test came back low and one came back high. All were off by only a small margin.

component, my value, standard range

R B Cell Count 3.78 3.90-5.40 M/uL
Hematocrit 34.7 36.0-47.0 %
MCH 33.1 27.0-33.0 pg
RDW 11.4 11.5-15.0 %
Lymphocytes 25 26-46 %

I will have to talk to the Dr about this on Wednesday. I am already on iron. As for the GD test I scored 120 so I passed.

**** I called the Dr and they said it was normal and to just keep taking my iron pill but to be sure to take it with OJ. Thats it.

I am not a patient person right now

So on Monday I took the dreaded glucose tolerance test. I have got to say the worst part was not the drink that tasted like melted orange otter pop but the wait. It was frustrating sitting in a waiting room where people are coming and going while I just sat. Then There is the wait for the results. The office I am being seen in has a website and you sign up, get an account and then you can see your results online for everything. This is meant to keep calls into the office to a minimum because you can see your results. Well that only works if they post them. I want to know if I have to take the 3 hr test. I want to know how well I processed the drink. I am tired of waiting everything is waiting. Grrrr

So today was a busy day. My mom came and took me to my appointments because Erick couldn't take the time off work. That's right I said appointments. I not only had a normal appointment with yet again another Dr but an ultrasound appointment. I was so excited to get to see the babies again but was not looking forward to the scale. I waited my turn and got to see the babies first. HAHAHA no scale yet.

I was really looking forward to this because well one it had been almost 6 weeks without seeing the babies and two movement locations had changed an I wanted to know where they were. We get in there and both babies go crazy. The tech even commented on how active they were which was funny because I was hardly feeling anything. The good news was both babies look great. 2 lbs 4 oz for A and 2lb 5 oz for B. The bad news is she couldn't see my cervix so I was told I would have to have an internal as well. It showed that my cervix was great but she asked about pressure on it because baby A is head down ad in position (B is transverse across the top from my left to my right). I got some more pictures but dont have them scanned so sorry you have to wait. After this I went back to the waiting room for my regular appointment.

Dun dun dun I get called and that means the scale. I knew I had gained I just didnt know how much. I get on and 4 lbs. Are you kidding me 4lbs in 2 weeks. I got myself ready for the talk. This brings me up to 23lbs total. He comes in and says whatever I am doing keep it up because I am doing great. I have no restriction except for flying. My GD test was scheduled and I have to do it fasting. So my next appointment is in two weeks.

Earlier this week Erick and I had a great photo shoot with a new photographer. I cant wait to see some proofs because it was so much fun. Oh and if you haven't done so already play my game and guess about the twins.

26 weeks

Well I am getting bigger. Two of the 4 pairs of pants I fit in now leave a roll/indent on my belly when I sit. When I stand my belly is hard all the time. I am taking it easy like the Dr said and am starting to feel some braxton hicks when I do exert myself. My most exciting news is that my MIL went baby crazy and the last time we went there last week we left with a car full of stuff and one of the cribs being delivered. The best part is that as I write this I am waiting for it to be delivered as the site says it is on a truck in Stockton. This week I did something a little different with the belly pics I took 2 one before dinner out with friends and one after. I feel huge so I wanted to see if there was a difference.

Lets see how right you are

Inside is a link to guess about the babies lets see who wins.
