A bunch of updates
First. . .Jack
This past weekend Jack got all new bedroom furniture and a new room. He has moved to the room at the top of the steps. His new bed, dresser and night stand was delivered on Friday and when we came home Friday night, we put all of his new bedding together. Saturday morning we finished putting the wall decals on the walls and put the finishing touches on everything. He loves it. It is a construction site theme. He is doing much better with staying in bed at night. We were afraid of how things would go when he moved into his new room but so far so good.
Tonight while we were laying in bed reading books, I looked over at him and he was moving his stomach in and out and putting his hand on it. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "my babies are kicking me!" (I wonder where he got that from? hehe) He talks about the babies all the time. He still says he has 5 babies in his tummy. He still has no clue how much our lives are going to change in 10 short weeks but I am glad he seems excited right now.
He is taking swim lesson again and absolutely loves it! He is a fish in the water. He has no fear. He loves putting his face in the water, jumping in and doing tigger jumps. He goes under the water and touches the bottom and then bounces up!
He got a memory game and a farm UNO game for christmas. He really enjoys them and it has been great for him. He also really enjoys playing with his cash register and new fire station that he got from the owner of our school.
Of course he is still really enjoys helping daddy. He is like his little shadow. They do everything together. He is looking forward to going to Home Depot this weekend to build a Valentine's Day holder!
Next...the babies
They have now been cooking for a little over 27 weeks. They are moving like crazy inside me. I am starting to feel one of their feet in my ribs. We go to the doctor again this Wednesday. When we were there two weeks ago baby a was 1 lb 15oz and baby b was 1 lb 12 oz. That was only a 10% difference so the doctor was very pleased with that. We found out that I will more than likely deliver between 36-37 weeks. This is due to them being identical mono-di twins. Since they share the same placenta, we have to watch them more than other twins. If one of the babies gets in distress, it could harm the other one so the doctor said we can't be greedy. If I make it that far we don't want to risk going further. My regular OB said that when we go this week we will probably schedule a date for a C-section just in case but I am hoping and praying that doesn't have to happen.
Since Jack moved out of his old room, we were able to start getting things ready in their room. We now have 2 cribs set up. I also found an extra dust ruffle on ebay this weekend so now they will have matching ones. Things are becoming a reality and in just a few short weeks they will be here!
Last...me
I am 27 weeks 1 day and I feel like I am 35ish weeks pregnancy. Compared to pictured when I was pregnant with Jack, I look like I did when I was 33+ weeks with him. Clothes that I wore at the end of my first pregnancy are getting snug on me now. My back is starting to hurt when I try to stand. I can't be on my feet very long before I have to sit down. So I am taking things slow. I take lots of breaks and do lots of sitting at work. My goal is to make it at least another 2-3 weeks before having to work part time.
I have gained about 18 lbs so thats not bad at all. I sleep well on the couch but once I go to bed, I have a hard time sleeping. I am looking forward to my baby shower coming up in a few weeks. I can't wait to start getting some girly things! Here are some pictures of me and the girls
