30 weeks!

Today I am 30 weeks. I'm on the home stretch. I had an appointment earlier this week and they say that I am doing really well. I've got to admit that for being pregnant with twins I'm feeling pretty good, but I can guarantee that if I was still working I wouldn't be doing so well. Having limited my stresses in life has allowed me to focus on this pregnancy and rest when I need to - such a blessing. The doc also said that the babies are doing really well! One is measuring about 2 1/2 pounds and the other is measuring about 3 lbs 4 ounces. Since they are fraternal and are in their own sacs then the fact that they are measuring differently isn't worrisome. One baby is just getting bigger quicker. The docs say that at this point with twins I am already far enough along to mostly be in the clear. The only problem right now is that Baby A (which is the baby closest to the cervix) is currently breach. At my previous appointment Baby A was head down (vertex) so I thought I was in the clear...apparently not. But there is still some time for Baby A to turn around. If by my next appointment, at 32 weeks, Baby A is still breach then they will most likely be scheduling me for a c-section, which is definitely not my first choice. After 32 weeks there's basically no more room left for the babies to do much maneuvering. So we are praying a ton that Baby A turns around. If Baby B is breach then as long as Baby A is head down they will go ahead and let me deliver vaginally.

I have been putting all my focus and attention this past week on preparing for the arrival of these little girls - I guess you can call it nesting. Having already had a baby I know how much of my time they take as newborns, and since there are two of them and these girls could be coming pretty soon (or so say the statistics) I want to be fully prepared. Plus, while I'm still able to move around and am not too tired I better get as much done as possible. I should mostly be all good to go with everything essential this week. I am getting so excited to meet these little girls!

We were having a fun little photo shoot today so why not include another pic.

Me at 40 weeks with Porter versus 30 weeks with twins...hmmm.
