32 Week Checkup

*Some fun facts:*

-Baby A on the left is still head down and weighing over 4 pounds

-Baby B on the right is still breach and weighing over 5 pounds

(Do the math on that)

-Both heart beats are good and strong

-During the ultra sound the babies kept kicking and bumping the tech's Doppler around

-I'm measuring 42 inches on the tummy (that's another inch since last week)

-Dilated to a 2

-Saw a different doctor today since Doctor S. got called into surgery. This other doctor called me "mama" and told me I had bird legs and that is a good thing? Can anyone guess which doctor at APW that was?

-Looking at the scale is getting worse and worse. At my next appointment I think I should save myself the horror and not look.

So other than feeling like Quasimodo everything is great!

Never A Dull Moment

I knew our quiet morning was too good to be true.





















Morgan is now sporting a rather large goose egg on his forehead after a collision with the corner of the couch. I thought the couch was sufficiently padded, but apparently not enough. The impact of his crash was so hard on his little head, I thought it was going to knock him out. He sure has a way of keeping things interesting around here.

Crossing My Chubby Fingers

Kendle started getting sick Friday night. Usually Kendle is one of the healthiest kids I know, so when she's complaining about not feeling good, I know something bad is coming. She didn't think she could play in her soccer game yesterday, and she just slept and slept all day. Then later that evening, she had the unfortunate experience throwing up what little we managed to get her to eat that day. It's so hard watching your children be miserable and uncomfortable, especially when I know the feeling all too well. I have much sympathy. Now I'm just hoping no one else gets this yuckiness. We quarantined our family today - don't want anyone else to get this if the rest of us are carrying it around now. I have not been feeling that great myself, but now I'm wondering if I'm catching whatever she had or it's just the semi-nauseousness I've had for the last week. Our family does not need this right now. Be gone evil germs!

Belly Picture

Here is me at almost 32 weeks in all my glamorous pregnancy glory. Ha.






















I wore a tighter shirt so you could get the full effect, yet I think this picture is a little deceiving. I feel like in real life I look (and feel) a lot bigger. Look at that horrible posture, uck. My back has been killing me lately. I gotta love when Riley takes my picture too. I love the guy, but I have to remind him to put the flash on, hold the camera straight, and our house has horrible lighting. This is about as good as it was going to get. I think this is my first pregnancy where I have gained almost all of the weight in my stomach. These babies are just sucking the life out of me. Here's to an ever growing tummy, bigger and better!
