We're Here In 3D ....

Appointment Update (28 Weeks):

Abigail and Eveline cooperated (sort-of) for 3D pictures. It is amazing what you can see with technology. Baby A kept putting her hand over her face and Baby B frowned if the perinatologist would jiggle her too much.

I have gained 35 lbs. so far and am measuring 35 weeks pregnant. Baby A now weighs 2 lbs. 12 oz. and Baby B weighs 2lb. 11 oz. The perinatologist was really pleased that Baby B had gained so much weight and had caught up with her sister. No wonder I have been getting more uncomfortable - there is a lot of baby in there. The Dr. said the only room for them to grow now is out! I have resigned myself to the fact that I will be quite a sight to behold by the time they get here.

We are so thankful that all of us are doing so well and that it is only a few more days until the reinforcements arrive (Yeah Grammy!)

Our Little Fairy - Happy Halloween!

Kate made a great fairy tonight - Thanks Grammy for helping with the costume! She loved knocking on the doors and saying "Trick-or-Treat". We went to the seminary to visit our friends and also stopped by to see our neighbors.

A Day at the Zoo!

It was a beautiful fall day today so we took Kate to the zoo this morning. We saw a lion eating a pumpkin about 1 foot away from us, three baby snow leopards, a polar bear pushing a big ball with his nose, and rode the carousel two times. The carousel was definitely the favorite! Hopefully, we will be able to squeeze in one more visit before it gets too cold.

Kate's Pumpkins

Kate enjoyed her weekend with Grandma Lois and Aunt Stephanie. We had fun carving her pumpkin & lit it tonight for a trial run. She had to check out what exactly was inside her pumpkin making it glow so nicely!
Good thing Kate didn't see Dad doing this...Great Carving Dad!

Our Little Chef

Kate loves to be in the kitchen observing and helping Dad make lunch. She also has taken to lining up her grapes in a neat row and counting them - Is she a first born or what?

It's A Baby Shower!

I have such wonderful friends who threw us a lovely shower - Thank you for making it such a special day!
Kate played with the balloons from the shower all night long - I will have to remember to get lots of balloons for her birthday!

We're Getting Bigger ....

Appointment Update (26 Weeks):

Finally we were able to get some profile shots at our appointment today with the perinatologist. They definitely look identical to us and even have a similar profile to Kate's ultrasound pictures. Yes, everyone (myself, Abigail & Eveline) are all getting bigger.

I have gained 33 lbs. so far, Baby A now weighs 2 lbs. and Baby B weighs 1lb. 13 oz. There is not a significant concern unless the measurement and weight differences exceed 20% - Right now we are at approximately 9%. It will be something they will keep monitoring going forward.

We are so thankful that everyone is doing well & can't wait to see them again in two weeks.

I also miraculously passed the Glucose Test so no Gestational Diabetes this time around - Praise the Lord!
