10 Days


Oh my... we are almost to single digits! I had an appointment with Dr. H today. No ultrasound or other testing because the nurse didn't know what she would want yesterday and we didn't schedule anything. I've gained 2 pounds in the last week...ick... but I'm starting to get more swollen (yay...) thankfully my blood pressure is still ok, 104/82. That bottom number is starting to climb a little more.

I'm still 3cm dilated and 70% effaced so no change there from last week. Dr H did say that Baby A has dropped more since last week. She wants me to come in tomorrow for a BPP ultrasound and dopplers. This is just precautionary. Normally I would be coming in at least once a week for NST's but since the dopplers were elevated in the past and we had that scare she wants to keep an eye on them. I don't mind... I like keeping an eye on them and making sure things are ok. I'm measuring 42 weeks now and she absolutely loved how she could literally SEE the babies moving under my stomach... seriously at times it looks like something out of a science fiction movie! Their heartbeats were both in the 140s and they were having a good time showing off :)

How am I doing? Miserable right now. Someone forgot to tell Abby about Daylight's Savings time... she's up at 7am every morning now. I hate it... too early! The babies are just pushing on everything, I wake up with sharp pains in my ribs, contractions and I'm now getting a LOT of reflux. It's frustrating. I keep telling myself it's for the girls and I need to hold on a little longer to get them here safely. God doesn't give you more than you can handle but goodness He sure likes to stretch you sometimes!

Dr H is going to talk with Dr B and decide on a time frame that they will induce me. She said it would probably be around 36 weeks (even though she doesnt really expect me to make it up to that) It was nice to hear that she thinks it would be very easy to induce me with how my body is and that she would probably just have to break my water.... So there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Thank GOD I don't have to go all the way to 40 weeks! So these babies will be here for SURE before Thanksgiving... no 38 weeks for me!

Ah! Excitement! That's hilarious about comparing your moving belly to sci-fi movies. :p

Everyone is a genius. but if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life believing that it is stupid...

"My three little wild children were running around the house, I asked Abby why they all had their clothes off... she looked at me very seriously and said "We're scavengers!" Would love to know where she got that..." (February 2012)

Overheard Abby playing with her Barbies during bedtime: "Fairytopia is dead. Guys don't planick."... a little while later... "Ariel is dead! Planick?... Planick planick!!!!" (March 2012)

Abby was running around in church. I swiftly stopped her and very seriously said "We aren't supposed to run in Jesus's house." Very seriously she replied "Jesus lives in my heart mommy." Point Abby- (May 2012)
