The Weigh-in

I had an ultrasound done today, Friday 9/19, to see how much our babies have grown. It still amazes me that I am carrying two inside of my belly. I don't think it will fully sink in until they are here in my arms. So, here are the stats:

  • Their heartbeats are within normal range
  • They both have hair on their heads that can be seen by ultrasound
  • They are still both head down
  • Killian is so far down into my cervix that I'm lucky his head isn't popping out
  • Killian is in a fetal position
  • Piper is spread out taking up all the room in there
  • I have been feeling sharp pains in one area of my belly which I found out is Piper's butt
  • Killian loves to suck on his hand and fingers
  • Piper had the hiccups during the ultrasound
  • Killan weighs 4 lbs, 4 oz
  • Piper weighs 4 lbs
  • They are both average weight
  • I have more poundage of baby right now than I had with Lily at 37 weeks - she was 8 lbs, 2 oz
  • My doctor gave me fist pumps for still being pregnant
  • I got the Tdap vaccination today (Tetanus-diphtheria-acellular Pertussis vaccine)
  • My doctor is hoping I don't go into labor until 36 weeks - That's 10/23
All in all it was a good visit. I am getting more and more debilitated as the days go on, but our babies are doing just fine. Lily is getting excited also. She was trying to play ball with them the other day by bouncing balls on my belly. She really is too cute for her own good!

30 weeks along (9/11/14)

Next up:
  • Setting up the crib
  • Putting both car seats in the van so Lily gets used to them being there
  • Putting together the bouncy seat, swing, and whatever else we might want to use right away
  • Getting what's left on our registry
AHHHHH!!!!!! It can really be any time from now until 9 weeks from now. Crazy how this time flew by. We are thankful everyday to have these two little miracles growing healthy and strong. Also thankful that Lily is such a good toddler and pray she will remain that way when she finally becomes a big sister.
