36 Weeks!

 
Wednesday marked an important milestone, I reached 36 weeks! Being pregnant with twins, I have worried about them coming early the entire pregnancy. It is such a relief knowing they have developed to a point where it is safe to deliver! I am also thankful that I am still working!! Both babies continue to do great, getting perfect scores on their weekly BPP ultrasounds. This next week we will do the full growth scan. I'm looking forward to learning how big they have gotten this month! I am doing pretty good. I am definitely getting more uncomfortable, especially at night. My bad hip also started hurting when my pelvis started to open two weeks ago. I can't really complain though, I am just so thankful for each day these babies get to grow! Now that I am getting quite large, my belly draws a lot of attention. Strangers regularly ask when I'm due or touch my stomach. As do the people I know! It's an interesting experience to say the least. Both babies are head down so we are planning for a good old vaginal birth whenever these babies decide to come! Dr Linnerson said he doesn't want me going past my due date but won't induce until 39 weeks as long as we are all healthy. Praying for a safe delivery and healthy babies!

August

Page's ISR lessons ended at the beginning of the month, but she started a new round of classes with the city! She is taking the parent tot preschool class again this session and started a dance class. She is loving both classes! Mommy used a little positive reinforcement to get Page to start going up to the board during class. She is doing great! We plan to do a solo preschool class next session.

We have done lots of swimming this month! Page also had fun with cousin Marcus, had 2 play dates with Allie, had fun with cousins Andrea, Rachel, and Natalie, celebrated Auntie Sommer and Grammy's birthdays, had a play date with JJ, went to the splash pad twice with Grammy, went to the Espee Park Spray Pad with Myla, went to the Life Pool twice, and had fun at the Splash Pad with Mommy and Daddy!

Page says the funniest things these days! Here are a few favorites from this month...
"I have two babies in my tummy!"
"What's the problem?"
"I need to see my sisters." She calls her cousins, brothers or sisters, even though she knows they are cousins ;)

Page had a stomach bug earlier this month. It was no fun but she was a trooper! She had several appointments this month: her 3 year well check, her 3 year dental check, and her quarterly GI appointment. Page had X-rays done at the dentist. She was so brave! Page weighed 30.2lbs (41%) and was 39in (91%) at her GI appointment! She is tall and skinny but growing great. We have her bowels managed but continue to struggle with reflux. We started on Prevacid yesterday and will discuss further testing at her next appointment.

September is sure to be an exciting month with the twins joining us!!
