27 Weeks



 
How Far Along: 27 weeks. Our babies’ lungs and brains are developing rapidly and they are practicing breathing!

Total Weight Gain: 165 lbs (so about 33 lbs gained...yikes!).

Maternity Clothes: All maternity pants. Very few of my non-maternity tops cover my belly, so pretty much in all maternity tops as well.

Sleep: Some positions are starting to get uncomfortable for me or the babies, so I end up rotating alot in my sleep. It's been sore to rotate in my sleep though, so I'm never really getting a "good" sleep. And I'm still waking up at 2am to take my medicine.

Best Moment This Week:  My cervical length went from 22-19.  I saw the nurse practitioner, Missy, this week as Dr. Paul was busy with another patient.  Missy at first didn't seem that concerned, but when I told her what the doctor had told me last week about possible bed rest or the pessary, she decided to manually check my cervix.  She said she didn't feel any pressure against it so she didn't think I was a good candidate for the pessary.  In regards to bedrest, she told me I could go home this weekend to attend my baby shower, however, she wanted me laying down whenever possible and to come back on Monday to check my cervix again.  Thank God I wasn't admitted!!
 
 
We had our second baby shower this weekend and it was a success!  It was great seeing all of our friends and coworkers.  And most importantly, my best friend, Tasha, flew in from Dallas just for this event!  Our boys received so many gifts - from onesies and books to shoes and diapers.  We are so blessed to have so many friends and family that love and support us and can't wait for our boys to meet everyone!
 
Movement: The boys are actively kicking -- mainly during the evening and early morning.
 
Looking Forward To:  This week I have two appointments set up -- one on Monday and one on Thursday.  Praying for no hospital bedrest!
