I am 28 weeks this week and I am starting to get really uncomfortable. They are constantly moving and there isn't a lot of room to move in there. Don't get me wrong, I love being pregnant. It is the best feeling in the world. The attention you get and the thought of you being the only one that can feel them all the time and no one else can, I just love it! Im not ready for it to be over because I know in the back of my mind that this is probably it :( That makes me sad. But 3 is enough unless we want to be poor. I already feel poor but poor people do this all the time and they are fine so we will be alright! lol I am still working 3 days a week. It's getting tough to move like I used to but my coworkers are the best and are always there to help me out and pull up my patients! For those of you who have been asking for a belly picture, here it is ….
Today was full of ultrasounds and Dr.'s appointments. I am having ultrasounds every 2 weeks and practically have this whole pregnancy which is awesome! They measure each one and make sure there aren't any arising complications and that they are growing on track. So far so good! Both Dr.'s are happy with the progress they are making and all they can say is that they are healthy! I am gestational diabetic again this pregnancy and check my sugar 4 times a day and count my carbs for every meal. It is one of the hardest things I have ever done but it is important for these boys and I have done a pretty good job I feel except …. my fasting blood sugars aren't good. Dr. Richardson decided to put me on a small dose of Glyburide at night time to help bring those down. I was on this medication with Liam as well so it was no surprise to me that me decided to put me on it. He said that there was only a 4% growth difference in the boys and as for working, I can let my body be the judge of that. Yesterday was really tough at work so I'm just going to take it day by day.
Meet the boys …
Baby A
Reid Thomas
Weighs: 2.9 lbs
(profile picture)
Baby B
Kane Michael
Weighs: 2.11 lbs
(It's hard to tell but he is looking straight and the screen. You can see one eye and his nose the best. Not the best picture but the only one we could get of him)
They now have names. Baby A is Reid Thomas and Baby B is Kane Michael. Reid and Kane are names that Ryan and I liked, they had no relation to anyone in our family. I wanted 4 letter names so that worked out well. Thomas is my maiden name and Michael is Ryan's dad's middle name. So everyone in the family has a 4 letter name and their middle names are family names. Hope Juanita, John Ryan, John William, Reid Thomas and Kane Michael. A happy little 4 letter family of 5!
The house building is coming along. The house is roughed in and plumbing, electric and insulation is being put in as we speak. Next step in dry wall. So we are about half way through! These babies aren't going to wait on this house to be finished! It would be so nice to be able to bring home the boys to their new house but I don't think that is going to happen :(
Liam is growing like a weed. He is so smart! He knows his alphabet, can count to 20 and to 100 by 10's, knows all his shapes including a crescent and a hexagon and knows his colors. He just amazes me at how fast he retains things and remembers them. He doesn't really understand what is about to happen in a few weeks. He knows that there are brothers in momma's belly but I just don't think he gets the concept. These last 2 days he hasn't felt well. He has a nasty cough and runny nose! He is rarely ever sick so I had to go to the store today to by medicine for him! He seems like he is feeling better this afternoon. I signed him up for swim lessons today. It will be the last 2 weeks of July so hopefully I will be fully recovered from the twins and be able to swim with him! I don't want him to be left out or pushed aside when they get here so I am trying to think of things to do with him his summer just us so I figured Mommy and Me swim lessons would be a good thing to do.
