Things are going well and I am still pregnant. Tomorrow (3/7) is the magical 34 week mark were I can deliver them at Mercy Hospital. We had another ultrasound last week and both babies measured 4 lbs 15 oz. No wonder I am feeling big - I am already carrying 10 lbs of baby around. My tummy is measuring as if I was 43 weeks along... I am truly grateful for both of the babies being healthy. Now I have started weekly testing - Non Stress Testing and a Bio Physical Profile to check in on the babies until they are born. Today the monitor showed me having consistent contractions every couple minutes. My doctor did a test to determine if I was likely to go in to pre-term labor (and I told myself I would remember the name and do you think I can?? NO!!). Anyway, the great news is that it came back negative. My blood pressure was slightly elevated today so they are watching me closely. Great news on the gestational diabetes note - I had such good readings of my blood sugars that I am now only required to test twice a day (d0wn from four).
Thank you to Jody for hosting a diaper and wipes shower last weekend. We officially have lots of diapers (see the picture) - but know how quickly they will be used also. Thanks to the small few who were able to attend the shower to help us celebrate.
We do know that I will be induced by the first week in April if I haven't had the babies. I might get my wish of an April baby (or two) yet :)
We took Allison to Disney on Ice - 100 Years of Magic yesterday as her birthday gift from Troy and I. Troy got seats 2 rows off the ice! It was a great show and Allison had her eyes glued to the ice for two hours. She got to shake hands with some of the characters after the show like Ariel, Snow White, etc. We are also going to celebrate her birthday this weekend before the babies arrive. She is very aware of her birthday this year we wanted to make sure she has her day. We are having a My Little Pony party in honor of her 3rd birthday. Happy Birthday sweet Allison - Love you, Mommy
