So this post will be very much about our growing babies..who are currently cooking and have been for 25 weeks 5 days.
Last Thursday night they gave us a troubled night with a lot of pain and discomfort..to the point of tears and not being able to sleep. Finally at 4 am we called the doctor on call. He said we could go to the hospital, but it was his opinion that it was more gas/constipation than any sort of contractions...so I was up all night and then had to make the 2 hour trip down to RI to do my baby shower invites with my cousin and then 2 hours back. It was a LONG day on NYE for me. I was in bed at 9:30 that night. IT made me feel old being in bed that early on NYE..but I was just beyond beat. Tim woke me up at 11:50 to see the ball and I think I was back asleep by 12:10. I needed the rest.
The weekend was nice and sort of low key..we celebrated our nephews birthday on Sunday, which was also the day that all of a sudden it felt like I had a pulled muscle in my stomach...I could barely even walk...
We did go to Baby Depot and bought a breast pump though. Yes, my hubby came along, he was a good sport! I got the Medela Pump in Style. I am excited!
Today we went to the doctors. I had a growth scan ultrasound done and was very relieved to know that both babies are okay. With all the pain and discomfort I couldn't help but worry that something had gone terribly gone with one of both babies. I was glad that was not the case and both were fine.
Baby A appears to weigh about 2.1 pounds and baby B about 1.15 pounds. So just about 2 ounces seperating them.
My cervix has shortened and the doctor was a bit concerned. He said I had to rest this week and they will do a ultrasound and recheck it next week and if it has shortened anymore we will have to talk about bedrest. I can't even walk my Moxie anymore...basically, rest as much as I can. Which I imagine will be terribly boring and hard for me.
I got hooked up to the monitor, and was having no contractions this week.
So, all is well, but it seems as though these lil guys are ready to start causing some trouble!
I hope you all had a great New Years and that each and every dream you have for 2011 comes true!
I am so excited to see that I have 7 whole followers! Last time I only had 5!
