Getting closer

With all of the doctor's appointments I've had I wouldn't necessarily say that time is flying by during this pregnancy, but we are getting closer to meeting these two little ones. I had another growth ultra sound on Thursday and the doctor was pleased with everything. Based on all the measurements they took, Baby A is measuring at 2lbs. 13 oz. and Baby B is measuring at 3lbs. 3 oz. Baby B is already bigger than Charlie was (3lbs.) when she was born at 30 weeks.

The doctor said that these babies seem to be enjoying their current living arrangements with no signs of moving out any time soon. Since their older sister was the same way but had a change of heart and decided to move very quickly the high risk doctor would still like to see me for another month to make sure they stay put! So, I'll continue to see my regular doctor once a week for the duration, plus the high risk doctor every other week for another month. I also have to get a progesterone shot once a week at the doctor's office to help keep these babies in. I'm not sure about you, but I think they should give me my own parking spot with the amount of time that I spend there! The doctors are still optimistic that I'm going to get to 38 weeks so hopefully we'll be able to schedule my c-section date soon.

The twins are definitely starting to give their Mom a run for her money. I've started to notice some swelling in my feet and ankles by the end of the day. The doctor's aren't too concerned about it but did give me compression stockings to wear to reduce the swelling. There is no way to make these things look cool! In my last blood work my iron count was a little low in spite of the fact I'm on iron pills. Now my daily pill routine is two iron pills, one multivitamin, one Pepcid (for acid reflux), and as many Tums as necessary (for heartburn). It's all worth it, but I was spoiled with such an easy pregnancy with Charlie!

The babies are pretty active so getting good, clear pictures of them is becoming a little more difficult. Below are pictures of both of their profiles. For those of you whom I don't see on a regluar basis I've included a picture of my growing belly.
