38 weeks!!!

38 week twin belly



Brooks loves to give the babies kisses




This was my belly at 8 weeks



And now at 38 weeks with twins!!! Crazy what the body can do!
-I made it!!! My 38 week checkup went great and HBs were in 140s and 150s. I have had four main goals this pregnancy with the twins and making it to 38 weeks without bed rest was one of them. The other ones were 1) work up to my 36 th week 2) gain enough weight to help ensure healthy birth weights of the twins and 3) give birth to at least 6 lb babies
Looks like I'll be meeting all goals!! I was so afraid going into this pregnancy because I know how risky it is to carry twins. Most moms go on bed rest and the average gestational age for twins is 35 weeks and 5 lb birth weights. There are so many risks with early deliveries and I wanted to give these twins the best start to life as I could. It hasn't been easy, but worth it knowing I've done all I could. Now it's in God's hands. My c section date is quickly approaching. I pray all goes well. I pray for the strength, love and patience to raise twins. I also pray that I never lose my special connection with My Guy (Brooks). I pray Josh and I only grow closer and stronger through this journey to raise these children. I feel so blessed to have been given this opportunity. I can't wait to meet our blessings;)
