Its official! I look like I am about to pop! People are starting to stare and ask me when I am due. I do not mind the questions, however I do not like being reminded that I have 3 months left to go. I am 28 weeks pregnant today! Technically I only have 8 more weeks to go before the twins will be perfectly healthy and a good size. At my appointment on last Thursday we saw Jackson and Patton both! Patton weighed 2lbs 5oz and Jackson weighed 2lbs 11oz! The doctor commented that it looked like they have not missed any meals. Jackson is about a week to a week and a half ahead of average growth. I thought this meant that he was longer but when I saw his picture I could not stop laughing! He has the fattest cheeks! He looks like a chipmunk! Also, poor Patton has Jacksons butt in his face. Now I know why he is constantly scrambling!
I am getting very anxious and ready to meet my boys! I have begun the nesting phase ( unfortunate for Chris because I cannot actually do anything) and have already begun to fix up their room. There is no room in their room but it will have to do. Chris completely emptied it and installed a couple of closet racks and shelves and then he put together a crib and a changing table. I am so PROUD! The room looks pretty good but I cannot wait to finish filling it up (with babies of course!)
I have reached that part of pregnancy where you are constantly uncomfortable and all you want to do is go to the hospital in tears and beg the staff to take the babies out. So far I have had every ailment known to pregnancy except for hypertension and diabetes. I cannot breathe....ever. My heart rate goes up to 120 when I stand up, sit up, roll over in bed and walk anywhere. I would even go so far as to say that typing this blog is giving me shortness of breath. My last weigh-in was 154lbs. That is up 3 lbs from my last appointment. These blogs are getting really tiresome to complete. I think that I will just post the new pics and say "Sionara!" Thanks to all for remaining to show support throughout this pregnancy. It makes all the difference in my demeanor just knowing how much all of you care for me and my boys. Thanks again and keep praying!
