Week 26 - Belly Shots & Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July...

We hope you were able to enjoy the 4th of July. No big parties or shin digs for us this year.

We had a bit of scare when we went to the doctor on Friday. My body had decided that it was going to show some pre-cursors for indicators of pre-term labor. Which was not an expected outcome given that things have been going so well. But thanks to modern medicine we can treat me. As for the babies... they are fine, still growing and active and completely unaware that my body thinks there is only 1 and that by all indicators my uterus is already past the size for one baby to be born. So the doctor prescribed some medicines for me and them and a lot more rest for me. Hence why all these pictures are getting uploaded and we went to see Eclipse yesterday and the pool.

Well like most things in life we are learning to be flexible and that I have no control. Please think good thoughts and prayers for us that we continue to hope and pray that these babies can stay growing safely inside of me.

Your turning Violet Violet

So I must say there are days I totally feel like this!

Have you seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory... Well some days i feel like i am turning into Violet. :) All for a good reason, just entertaining. Enjoy!

Week 21 -Belly shots

Well this week we went back to the doctor. Everyone is growing like gangbusters. They have doubled in size from the last trip a month ago. We are up to 14oz, 14oz and 13oz! This trip involved a 3 hour appointment so they could view every single organ. Now i am sure for a singleton seems manageable to check every organ... but well when you have 3.. viewing every organ, bone measurements etc... takes a really long time. Needless to say, Lynn (the ultrasound tech) and I are becoming good friends. It is worth it to make sure they are healthy. It was really neat to see their little profiles. Their noses and lips. Amazing what you can view these days. Hard to believe i have about 3lbs of baby inside of me. Oh and they are bananas... Decided not to do some photos with this fruit...

So depending on who you talk to... I am either huge! (thanks buy buy baby lady, geesh!) or tiny (thank you Linda, cycling instructor). They you look huge comment -doesn't that fall on what not to say to a pregnant lady?

Week 20 -Belly shots

This week they are cantaloupes! No wonder my belly sort of popped out this week. Those cantaloupes are pretty darn big. Glad the babies are growing. Another week down. These kids are pretty well traveled. I will have to make a list of all the places we have been before they got here! Can't wait to meet you. I am sure you are cuter than those melons...

Belly shots - Week 19

So this week the fruits are Mango's! Here are a few fun belly shots. Reeba wanted in on the action. She was checking everything out. She is the reason we will have to start locking the cats in the basement. Man can that cat get some air. I can just imagine her up an over into the crib!
