We had our 30week growth scan today, & everything looks great. (Except my stupid cervix, which is still shortening, but not dramatically enough to call for a change in treatment. So fingers crossed that bed rest & drugs keep things moving slow enough for us to hit 35 weeks!!!)
Anyways, the important news is that the dudes are HUGE! Even allowing for the u/s margin of error, they're still big boys. They're both measuring close to 34 weeks (!!!) & while they're supposed to be around 3lbs right now, they're both way over-- baby A is at 3lbs 14 oz & baby B is at 4lbs 2oz! :) that's 8lbs of baby I'm lugging around right now-- small wonder i can't breathe & feel so tired & crappy all the time! All worth it though to give our dudes the best shot we can at being healthy babies & coming home with us.

Now for some fun with pictures:
For comparison purposes only-- this is (was) my pre-pregnancy self. (yeah, I know... we look like we're in a trimspa commercial... sorry....)
This is me at 30 weeks pg with the boys. Note the swollen face & belly leaning a bit to the left. (This is because baby A's feet & baby B's head are jammed into my left side, just under my ribs. good times!)
And from the side. Geez, I look tired in these pictures... N still looks as good as he does in the first pic (of course! lucky guy...)
You look great!!! Even at 30 weeks. But then I love baby bellies.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the boys are doing great. I have been lurking for you, just not posting or blogging. There just isn't enough time in the day.
Love the front view...it looks seriously creepy.
ReplyDeleteYou finally look pregnant.
