I know I have blogged about this before, but I am constantly amazed at how easy it is for my husband to step in and pick up the pieces around him. Last week, I had an emotional explosion. Chris called me on his way home from work and I was already crying. I have been really stressed lately and it all just came out at one moment. He stopped on the way home to pick up flowers for me and dessert! It made me cry even worse when he came home with that!
The best part was that he even added an extra pick me up on top of everything. Chris’s work actually has a small ultrasound machine in storage. So, he offered to take me to see the babies!! Since I hadn’t seen them in 3 weeks and Chris hasn’t seen them in even longer, it was such a blessing to be able to be grounded again with what is really important in life and to get me even more excited about my pregnancy. It was even more exciting to get to see Chris’s eyes light up as he was amazed at how much they have grown and how much they are moving now. His machine had a recording feature that allowed him to record the last 30 seconds of the ultrasound. So, Chris being Chris decided that would be a great opportunity to play with the babies… He took a section of video where one of the babies was raising its arm and played it back and forth to make it look like it was waving! How could I not smile at that?
On top of all of this, he took me crib shopping on Saturday and Sunday and we ordered all of the furniture for our nursery! For those of you who know what a crazy planner I am, you can imagine what a relief this was for me to have that checked off of my list. So, now all we have to do is wait until August 23rd to find out the sexes of the babies and then we can really start planning!
Baby update…They should each now be about 4-4.5 inches from crown to rump. Their eyebrows and hair at the top of their head are beginning to grow and their bones are getting harder! We were amazed at how big they have gotten. So, please say a prayer that they will continue to grow well over the next couple of weeks!
Glad to hear things are settling down a bit. Hormones are so crazy. Just remember those sweet little movements and little tiny bodies growing inside you that sooner than you think...you will hold. :) And BTW, I think Chris is pretty cool too. :) Love you!
