27 weeks....about 10 more to go!



Thank goodness I had already taken off work today for my 27 week growth scan because the weather is cold and icy outside today! And it's just supposed to get worse tonight...hopefully work will be cancelled tomorrow! I'm just glad to be home and warm with my little luvbug today rather than out on those bad roads. 


Soooo...I went for my 27 week growth scan today, and once again...everything is perfect! Emily and Allie are a few ounces short of 2 pounds each now. They have gained about a pound each in four weeks. At that rate, they'll be 5 or 6 pounds each when they get here. My fluid levels are great and there are no signs of pre-term labor (which gets very common in the last trimester of twin pregnancy). And , their heads are down now, which is a change. They have been breach basically the whole time. My specialist said he couldn't have a better report for us. We took Landon this time because we wanted him to see his sisters. He didn't really get it, though. He was more interested in checking out all of the equipment. I asked Chris to snap a few pics of him, but did that happen? No. He gets very interested in everything the doctor is saying, so picture taking was forgotten about. Oh well...we'll take him again and I'll try to get a few next time.

So far, this pregnancy has been great. I expected it to be much worse than last time, but it's actually been better. I haven't gained near as much weight (so far) and I'm less swollen than last time (once again, so far). I still have about 10 weeks left, so I hope it doesn't get too hard. Lately, I have been getting very tired very easily. I'm very "out front" this time and I feel like if I lean forward just a little bit, I'll topple over. I do swell on occasion, but my blood pressure has been great...so no worries there. I have my blood glucose test in two weeks, so lets hope I pass so I don't have to give up sweets (my craving this time around). After that appt., I start going to the doctor every single week until the girls come. 

I posted a few pics of my 27 week growing belly that I took earlier today. I hate all prego pics of myself, but I know I will want them later...especially when I get my blog book made.
