Thankful

This week I’m reflecting on all of the things that I am thankful for… I’m sure you all can guess my #1! I have been especially blessed this year. I have an amazing husband, an extremely supportive family and 2 precious gifts on the way! With all of the bad stuff that happens in the world, I am so thankful that I have been so blessed this year! It has been a long road to get here, but I am thankful that I will soon have my little boys home and my body back!


Baby update: Each boy should measure about 18 inches by now and should weigh in at a little over 3 pounds. And, the exciting thing this week is that their ears have matured enough so that they are no longer just hearing vibrations. They are actually able to hear distinct sounds, like familiar voices and music. It’s making me think twice about what kind of music I play in the car now…

Mom update: I feel officially ginormous and my body is definitely starting to feel the effects of pregnancy. I am tired and I am swelling now without even doing anything. If I don’t keep my feet up, they start swelling within an hour. I don’t even have to be standing up! So, I am trying to take things easy now. I have to plan out my days more and more so that I am limiting how much time I spend on my feet, but my eyes are still on the prize! Only another couple of weeks and I can meet my boys! If we make it full term, we will be another 8 weeks. Most twins come a little early though. So, we are thinking more that they will be here in about 5-6 weeks. It is so hard to believe that it is right around the corner! We go in for another doctor’s appointment this week and then our next ultrasound will be on December 14th. We will need to check and see if the boys have turned by then. So, pray that Cooper flips around. Otherwise, we are guaranteed a C-Section!

I’ve started a poll on how big you think the boys will be and when you think they will come. Let’s see how many of you get it right!
