WOW! 28 weeks.
The fact that I can say, "I am 28 weeks!" is a blessing in and of itself!! When I was put on bed rest at 22 weeks, I thought that 28 weeks seemed so far away. But hey hey hey I made it!
This week was AWESOME- nothing too amazing in particular happened... but just the general feeling of the week was wonderful.
- I had not one but two ultrasounds! I had one on Monday and the babies were looking healthy. I texted my OB about the babies and he asked me if I had seen the Maternal Fetal Medicine group at the hospital. I hadn't been to see them and he was really surprised- i think its time you go in- he said. Apparently I should have gone in to see them a while ago....... oops. c: He scheduled an appointment for me.
Basically the MFM group does more in depth ultrasounds for high risk pregnancies. With the twins sharing a placenta they are at risk for something called Twin to Twin Transfusion... therefore I am considered high risk.
The ultrasound with the MFM went really well!! The babies were stubborn and wouldn't show their faces- so the tech had to dig into me (which hurt) but they are big and healthy! 3 lbs and 2 lbs 11 oz!! I am ecstatic! They also show no signs of Twin to Twin Transfusion! I am feeling so blessed with not only how healthy I feel but also with how healthy these babies are. Life is happy and good.
- No more bed rest! I was officially given the go ahead to live my life normally again!! The OB also said that I can go on a 20 minute walk per day! It feels so wonderful!
- I also spoke with my OB about moving up to Logan. Call me crazy... but we have come to the conclusion that moving now makes WAY more sense than waiting for the babies to be born before we move up. I mean... moving not only ourselves but two babies and their stuff and trying to get it all set up right after they are born? no way jose. I asked the OB about moving- gave him the pros and cons of it- and asked his advice.
He said to go for it!
His reasoning is that the support we will get in Logan with family (especially in the latter part of my pregnancy) will be crucial. He also mentioned that I have to develop a relationship with a new OB anyways (sadly, he is switching clinics) and so now is a great time to make the move. I am so glad I received his support- it makes the move so much easier!
- My aunt gave us deeeelicious peaches which I used to make peach raspberry cobbler!!!!!!! Oh my oh my oh my delicious. It didn't last very long.
- My niece Clara turned 3! She is just the cutest thing on the planet and in a few days will have a baby brother! I CANNOT WAIT!!
- I had brunch with my friend Sarah Riley! We lived kitty corner to each other for almost a year- and we didn't realize it until just a few months ago! I wish we had realized it earlier/taken advantage of the close proximity before because now I am moving to Logan and she is moving to Washington... so I am bummed that we won't be closer.
- AJ and I went to see our friend Stefani at her BYU dance major Senior Showcase! She choreographed the opening piece- it incorporated dance and the visual arts. Her dancers were drawn live by artists on stage. It was awesome! Stefani also danced in the last number. She really is a gorgeous dancer.
- Sunday was just the perfect day. AJ and I got home from church and spent the evening just relaxing. We watched the movie Fireproof, which was wonderful. It really made us grateful for our relationship and grateful for our faith.
All in all it was a great week!
