Text of the page (random words):
r in law one at work and two thrown by special friends we feel really blessed for the gifts our girls have received they will undoubtedly be the best dressed twins we ve been filling in on necessities as needed and trying to get everything ready we had new carpet installed last weekend and omg it is lovely we still have to put everything away though and that is taking a while we put the girls cribs together on sunday and brought in their dressers i stood in the doorway and sobbed it s so surreal to me to have baby furniture in a room that has been an empty hole in my heart for so many years we have nothing on the walls yet and lots of accessorizing to do but here is a sneak peak saw my ob on wednesday at 29w3d the girls are doing well and we are moving right along blood pressure is good and my weight is only up about 25 pounds i am measuring at 36 weeks but i m apparently carrying small for twins everyone has said that and my ob agreed i guess i m getting lucky it s the first time in my life that people have commented on how small i am here is the belly at 28 weeks it s gotten a bit bigger since this baby a is head down and baby b is still breech so my ob is recommending a c section i m not thrilled about it but i d rather do that then labor to deliver baby a and end up with a c section anyway for baby b so it looks like the girls will be born sometime between may 24 and may 28 geminis how fitting for now i m still working i think my last day will be april 9 or april 16 i m trying to hold out as long as i can but the back pain really makes it hard after that i plan on spending a lot of time floating on a noodle in my mom s pool i see my perinatologist in 2 weeks then the following week i start nsts weekly at the hospital followed by a quick ultrasound at my ob s office i have a feeling time is about to start flying by i can t believe i m going to have these girls in my arms in just 7 5 weeks posted by jennifer at 6 10 pm 3 comments sunday march 28 2010 29 weeks squash baby s energy is surging thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles though as you ve also probably noticed they don t necessarily coincide with your own also this month all five senses are finally functional and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments photo and text courtesy of thebump com posted by jennifer at 3 31 pm no comments wednesday march 24 2010 28 weeks eggplant still a few days late but better late than never my poor blog is neglected i need to sit down tonight with a nice update until then our 28 week update from thebump com let your spouse put an ear to your belly he might be able to pick up baby s heartbeat no stethoscope required inside the womb the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow baby s also soaking up your antibodies getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb eyes are forming and baby will soon perfect the blink perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes text courtesy of thebump com posted by jennifer at 7 40 am no comments thursday march 18 2010 27w3d peri and ob appointment update my appointments yesterday were great saw the peri in the morning and the ob in the afternoon the girls are in the 53rd and 57th percentile and weighing in at 2 7 and 2 8 pounds only a 3 difference in their measurements which is great baby a is head down and right on my cervix she is on the left side baby b is vertex breech on the right side my cervix is still over 4 5cm unbelievable after the braxton hicks beating it s been taking our next ultrasound with the peri is in four weeks i see my ob every two weeks still and she will start nsts and weekly visits at 32 weeks moving right along posted by jennifer at 7 48 am 2 comments sunday march 14 2010 27 weeks and still an eggplant guess there isn t any appropriate produce baby s lungs are going through some major developments these days which combined with the opening of previously plugged nostrils means he s now able to practice inhaling and exhaling the lack of air in your womb means every breath is filled with amniotic fluid but hey it s progress text courtesy of thebump com posted by jennifer at 12 04 pm no comments saturday march 13 2010 another trip to labor delivery i spent the night in labor delivery again i was having contractions friday morning but i was able to stop them with water and rest unfortunately they were were bad last night every 7 10 minutes the on call ob didn t hesitate and had me come in they hooked me up to the monitor and verified what i was feeling i was in fact having contractions often they gave me a test called a fetal fibronectin this test is given to women with signs of preterm labor between 24 and 34 weeks fewer than 5 of women with a negative result will deliver in the next two weeks luckily my test was negative so i was sent home i ve been put back on bedrest for the weekend they are allowing me to go to my baby shower today but i can t drive and have to stay sitting accept to use the restroom and have to increase my water intake i ll call my ob monday morning to see if i can go back to work or not the good news is the girls are doing great heartbeats are fabulous my next ultrasound to check their growth and my cervix is on wednesday i m praying my cervix is still long and closed after all of this posted by jennifer at 7 52 am 2 comments wednesday march 10 2010 26 weeks still an eggplant baby s soaking up your antibodies getting her immune system ready for life outside the womb eyes are forming and she ll soon be practicing the blink perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes text courtesy of thebump com posted by jennifer at 7 28 am 2 comments sunday february 28 2010 25 weeks eggplant baby s now the size of an eggplant that oh so handy sense of equilibrium is kicking in and baby s learning to distinguish right side up from upside down photo and text courtesy of thebump com posted by jennifer at 8 29 am no comments sunday february 21 2010 24 weeks still a papaya we made it to 24 weeks hooray for viability though they girls still need to stay put for 10 12 weeks with that said it s been a rough day i ve been feeling pretty bad my uterus has been rock hard everytime i stand up and i seem to be having a lot of braxton hicks contractions this evening i hate not knowing when to call my ob and when not to call it seems like every sunday i have problems i m going to do a lot of praying and pleading to get through the night and hopefully i ll wake up feeling better tomorrow from the bump com baby s skin is becoming more opaque as the fat starts to pack on and thanks to the formation of small capillaries her newly thick skin is taking on a fresh pink glow posted by jennifer at 4 36 pm 1 comment saturday february 20 2010 23 3 peri and ob appointments can i just say praise god i saw the perinatologist and my ob this past wednesday after weeks of braxton hicks contractions my cervix is perfect over 4 5cm and no sign of funneling my amniotic fluid levels were good the girls weigh 1 5 and 1 6 pounds they are at the 44th and 50th percentile for their age which is great baby a s placenta is no longer low lying and my sch is gone the perinatalogist said i am in the 2nd lowest risk factor for preterm labor for a twin pregnancy the lowest being someone who has already had a full term vaginal birth he said that based on the ultrasound i have the perfect twin pregnancy which is ironic given that i ve been on bedrest for 6 weeks given that report my ob released me from bedrest and i went back to work part time on thursday it was tough to go from laying around for weeks to working 4 5 hours but it was so good to be back i really missed my co workers and my job not to worry though i m taking it easy i m only there for 6 weeks then i ll go out on maternity leave it s all happening so fast now hallelujah posted by jennifer at 4 05 pm 1 comment sunday february 14 2010 23 weeks one more week to viability lord give me strength to get there i m having a lot of braxton hicks contractions last night i got a bit of a break but they are slamming me pretty bad this morning can t wait for my peri appointment on wednesday i ll feel so much better knowing that the girls my cervix and my amniotic fluid levels are in check the scale is starting to move again i m up 14 pounds as of this morning which i m still pretty pleased with i don t see too much of a difference over the past couple weeks but i seem to be getting more round here is the 23 week bump we re still a papaya according to thebump com but we have new development this week baby s little face is fully formed minus the baby fat of course the next task at hand for baby sprouting two teeny tiny nipples posted by jennifer at 10 06 am no comments friday february 12 2010 a shopping we will go we ve picked our bedding and furniture and i m so excited to get it we re ordering the furniture from babies r us this weekend and the bedding is on hold at pottery barn kids for us to pick up i can t wait to get the girls nursery put together i swear i m just going to sit in there and smile our bedding our furniture two cribs the four drawer and the combo posted by jennifer at 9 26 am 3 comments sunday february 7 2010 month 5 weeks 22 24 papaya watch what you say baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing nipples are starting to sprout and that little face is fully formed and baby s starting to settle into sleep cycles snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day it shouldn t be hard to figure out when just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop photo and text courtesy of thebump com posted by jennifer at 8 49 am no comments saturday february 6 2010 21 week appointment update i saw my ob on thursday and for now all is well total weight gain at 21 4 is 11 pounds this really shocks me because i usually gain weight so easily but my ob is totally fine with it given my starting weight and the fact that the babies are right on target blood pressure is 122 81 fundus is measuring 29 weeks she s keeping me on bed rest for two more weeks she wants the spotting to completely stop as of friday morning it has she did lift me from strict rest to modified rest told me not to lay in bed all day but to get up on the couch she just wants me off my feet i see the peri on 2 17 and see her right after i see them hopefully all will be well and i can go back to having some kind of life she did approve me to work from home 3 4 hours a day so we re going to work on seeing if the company will approve it she wasn t worried about the bhs at all i guess she looked at the record from the monitor in l d and said that most of them were just signs of an irritable uterus and not full on contractions she didn t even feel the need to check my cervical length even though i asked if she would she said with it being 5cm two weeks ago and with it being posterior hard and closed on sunday that she had no doubts in her mind that ptl was not an issue for me at this stage the peri will check it on the 17th my urine tested positive for gbs which is not a big deal 40 of all pregnant women get it it just made me laugh one more thing to add on to the list of so called complications just about 2 more weeks to viability keep on praying for us posted by jennifer at 7 11 pm no comments wednesday february 3 2010 the better late than never update we had a little bit of a scare this past sunday which sent us to labor delivery i was contracting pretty crazy it was validating to watch it on the monitor and know that what i was feeling was really a contraction at the same point i was hoping they would stop once i got there but they didn t in fact they seemed to pick up in frequency they said i have an irritable uterus caused by all the fertility treatments and the d c i m wishing now that i waited a few more months after my d c to do this transfer and then the bleeding from the sch was just the cherry on the cake they said that contractions are contractions the only difference between braxton hicks and labor contractions is bh are usually less painful and don t cause cervical dialation where labor contractions are more painful because they are causing cervical dialation i asked about turbutaline and they said that is only given once your cervix starts to soften and or dialate because it has negative side effects too they don t give it until there is a real need which i apparently don t have i have zero signs of dialation even remotely starting they said this was likely how it was going to be for me and that they would only get worse as the babies grew they said i m probably more sensitive to it that if you lined up 10 pregnant women on the monitor that they would all be having contractions but most wouldn t feel them all i m apparently feeling them all if this continues i may be given the steroid shot at 24 weeks to mature the girls lungs there are also medications they can administer if my cervix does begin to dilate god forbid at this point all i can do is hope and pray that the contractions stay light that my water doesn t break and that everyone stays put for at least five more weeks quite a scare and i m still freaked out but i understand a bit more now and feel a bit more comfortable i see my ob tomorrow and we ll see what is in store for us posted by jennifer at 7 23 pm 1 comment sunday january 31 2010 so here we are at 21 weeks how is it possible that i ve only gained 10 pounds seriously pre pregnancy i could easily have gained 10 pounds in a weekend all i can think is that these girls have a crazy metabolism that they must have received from their daddy and that i m reaping the benefits my ob said my weight was great last time i went in and she said as long as they were growing on schedule that she was okay with my gain being on the low end i thought for sure after 3 weeks of bedrest that i d be up at least a few
