31 weeks

 I thought it might be fun to post some pictures of my Twin Pregnancy.  Although they aren't the best quality of pictures as we took most of them with our phones, it's still fun to see how big I've gotten over the weeks.  I sure am getting bigger and more uncomfortable!

31 Week Ultrasound/Doctor Appointment
I had an ultrasound this week and the doctor said things are looking great. 
Baby A (Girl) Weighs: 3 lbs 9oz            Heart Rate: 145
Baby B (Boy) Weighs: 3 lbs 15 oz         Heart Rate: 165  
              (The boy sure moves around a lot!  Hence the higher heart rate I think!)

Baby B (Boy) is still a few days ahead of schedule as he always has been the entire pregnancy.  Baby A (Girl) used to be ahead as well, but it now about 3 days behind what she used to be so it puts her right about on track as to where she should be.

He said that both babies are transverse facing, so if they don't move in the next week or so I will have to have a C Section.  He said when you get this far along the babies run out of room to change positions anymore.

I now need to start going to doctor's appointments weekly, as well as now having weekly Non Stress Tests to monitor the babies.  I sure am going to be going to the doctor a lot!

He also said that we could schedule my 38 week inducing date next time!  (May 8th or later) But he joked and said he didn't think I would make it that long anyway.  He doesn't see any reason as of right now that I would be going earlier, but he said most women do.
 (I won't get excited yet, as I remember the doctors thought I was going to be going earlier with Logan's pregnancy as well because I was dilated and effaced so early.  I did end up going 3 days early with him so it will be interesting to see when I deliver the twins :)   )

Baby Shower

My sister in laws and mother in law threw me a baby shower!  So many generous people came to support including my siblings that are in town!  It was a lot of fun, and we were able to get some very useful gifts.  THANK YOU SO MUCH!

 

 Here are some onesies that we made in preparation for "The Twins!" (Thanks for your help designing them Melissa!)  They were a fun decoration at the shower!

Christmas Eve/Christmas Day

We celebrated Christmas Eve at the Ford's house this year.  It was a lot of fun.  We had a nice dinner followed by some yummy dessert.  Then the kids did the Christmas story with puppets.  Logan loved watching the puppets and tried to grab them.

We then came home and Michael and I stayed up late wrapping presents and setting up Logan's big present Thomas the Train! 

Logan slept in Christmas morning which was nice for us.  It was a casually morning and fun as it was the first Christmas that we have experienced at our own house.

Thomas the train was a big hit along with several of Logan's other presents!

Later on that morning Logan burned his hand on our gas fireplace. :(  He screamed for a good 30 minutes and then was so exhausted he fell asleep for about an hour in my arms.  Luckily when he woke up he didn't complain, and was surprisingly very happy.  He was a good sport.

Santa's Lap

We went to the annual Grow Family Talent Show and Logan got to sit on Santa's lap.  We didn't have our camera with us so we just had to take a cellphone picture.  It's not the best quality but as you can see Logan didn't really seem to mind sitting on his lap! :)

Hand Foot Mouth

Poor Logan got Hand Foot Mouth.  He was a really great sport considering how uncomfortable it looked.  It looked like he had chicken pox all over his hands, little red dots everywhere!  On his mouth he got a little rash around his lips, and on his legs there were just a few spots.  I couldn't believe how long the sores lasted!  Even now at the end of December they are finally almost all gone, but if you look closely you can still see that they were there.  So glad it seems to be over....FINALLY!

Exciting News!

After hearing Leslie and Richard's (my sister and brother in law) news, we in no way thought almost the same thing could happen to us!  We are very excited but nervous at the same time.  I am currently 15 1/2 weeks, and so far everything looks great.  Please keep us in your prayers. : )

Lake Powell in July

We had a blast at Lake Powell in July with my family!  Logan loved to swim in the water, but most of all he loved to take a sand bath at night! :)
