Babies are doing great and very happy in there - hopefully they don't like it TOO much, and decide to come out soon! The doctor is pleased with how they do during the non-stress tests, and they are growing good. Actually, he did a very rough measurement today (normally he just takes a quick look to check heart rates) and they are probably about 6 pounds each. 12 pounds of baby in there! Yikes! No wonder I'm ready to be done. The doctor had said a few weeks ago that he would induce if I made it to 38 weeks, but after measuring them today he said that if I make it to next week we'll plan an induction for that week (which would be the 37th week). So there IS an end in sight! This could be a long week though...
Baby B is going to keep us guessing. He has flipped around again and is body crosswise and head up. Ugh! I have no idea how he has any room to move around so much, but apparently he's not happy to just get into position and stay there. Whereas Baby A has been locked and loaded in the proper position for quite some time now. I am very curious to see if this is any indication of their personalities - will Baby A be more laid back, and Baby B more active? Maybe B is more athletic. Although, Mike has dreams of them being basketball stars together. :)
We had our very own maternity photo session this weekend - I am really not comfortable in front of the camera! Even though I'm used to directing people, I have no idea what to do myself in that position. I'm really anxious to see how the photos turned out - besides the fact that it's documenting an important time in our lives, Mike and I don't have our picture taken together much, so it's just nice to have that done once. Below is a snapshot taken a little over a week ago - maybe not my best angle at this point...and why do I have to have such a skinny husband?? :) I passed him up in weight probably a few weeks ago, my only consolation is that I'm only 3 inches shorter than him. I shouldn't be too bad off though once I get 12+ pounds of baby out, plus all the other fun stuff that comes along with them!
Hang in there kiddo - It won't be toooo much
ReplyDeletelonger!! Baby B has to get his act together
and turn around - then it will all happen!!
Praying it all goes really well!!
Love Grandma & Nels
I am so convinced that baby b should be the first born! He so seems to have the personality for it!
ReplyDeleteI think your right about having a little idea about their personalities. Addie was my mover and flipper. She is still that way today and is more strong willed too! Grant pretty much stayed in postion the whole pregnancy and he is definitly more laid back. These last few weeks are rough. Just rest as much as you can. We are praying for you. :)
