I need to figure out a way to take a picture of Baby Boy’s blanket. It ended up a lot bigger than I was expecting (roughly 30 inches by 30 inches!) so it’s not like I can just stand on a chair like I do to photograph Project Life layouts. lol. I’ve started on Baby Girl’s blanket and I’m making progress slowly but surely. A bit more slowly that with Baby Boy’s, but I have some time. Although not a ton!
Speaking of which, I’m 28 weeks today! That’s my second big milestone (I got a bronze medal yesterday at my MFM’s office!), the first being 24 weeks (viability.) If the babies were born today, they would have a long stay in the NICU, but they are likely to survive. Next big goal is 32 weeks for a silver medal. Of course, I’m aiming for the gold 😉 which is 36 weeks. Ultimately, we would like the babies to be born between 37 and 38 weeks.
They’re getting quite big! Baby Boy is estimated to be 2 lbs 5 ozs and Baby Girl is estimated to be 2 lbs 8 oz. Baby Boy is a bit lazy and has been transverse (sideways) on top for basically the whole pregnancy. Baby Girl on the other hand is quite the little gymnast. She flips from head up to head down pretty much every time I go to the dr, which is a lot! (Like every 2 weeks at least.) Currently, she is butt down, folded in half, with her feet behind her head. lol. That can’t be comfy! I’m ready for her to get into a head down position so we can attempt a vaginal birth. Apparently we have about 4 more weeks for that to happen before she is out of room. Fingers crossed!
I’m feeling pretty good, especially considering that I have close to 5 pounds of baby. 🙂 My blood pressure is still excellent and I have no swelling. I just need to get through that pesky glucose screening in a week and a half and it should (please please please) be smooth sailing. Fingers crossed. lol.
