More twin updates

34 weeks pregnant





35 weeks pregnant


- As you can see...I look like I'm going to pop! I've had several strangers say, "any day now?" Or "you look like your on the way to the hospital". When I explain that I'm pregnant with twins then they say, " no way! You look great for twins!" They are probably just back tracking then;). I have had more comments on how cute my belly is by strangers than I ever did with Brooks. Probably because you can't miss it!!! Brooks also comments on the growing belly. He still kisses it often and has named Baby A, "Brownies" and Baby B, "Peaches". It's pretty cute to hear him talk about them. Overall he is really excited and says he's lucky to have two babies. (For now I'll take it!). He has been acting up however since he turned 3 1/2 years old. He doesn't listen as well and doesn't seem to mind getting into trouble. He's a little more aggressive when excited and has a harder time controlling his emotions. I'm hoping its just a phase and partly because he knows change is near. He's still so much fun and really a good kid. He's just challenging our parenting skills;)
-The twins continue to look good and at our 34 week 5 day ultrasound Baby A weighed 5 lb and HB was 154. Baby B weighed 4 lb 7 oz and HB was 143. I'm hoping to make it to my 38 th week to get these babies as big as I can!! Only one more week of work!

Pregnancy Catch Up

Our Twins at 24 wk 5 days

 -Here's a little update on the babies up to 32 weeks.  I'll update to my current status on next post when I get a chance!  I have been so busy and I tend to post more pictures on Instagram now.  However, I still plan to keep this blog up for family and friends who are still interested ;)  Also it is so nice for the kids to look back on years from now.
-The twins are growing well and very active.  I am getting noticeably bigger by the week!  I never imagined my tummy could stretch this much!  I've really been having a good pregancy considering there are 2 babies inside my tummy!  My main complaints have been pain where my abs have seperated (but this is currently better), occasional pain in pubic symphysis, and swelling.  The swelling is getting worse by the week in my legs.  By the end of the day my feet and ankles are SO puffy!  At night time my arms go to sleep and I have carpal tunel during the day.  My night splints seem to help some.  I need to sleep with about 6 pillows for positioning of my belly ;)  Sleeping is not the best, but I'm managing.  I tend to get up and pee every 2 hours.  I get SO excited when I actually sleep 3 hours without waking. I guess this is my life for the next severel months anyways ;)  I am still working but recently dropped down to 3 days a week.  I plan to work until 36 weeks and then have a few weeks off (if they don't come by then) before I delivery.
-We have ultrasounds every 4 weeks to check on the growth of the twins. For most all the ultrasounds so far  Baby A has been a little bigger with HB around the mid 150s.  Baby B is slightly smaller and HB around lower 140s.   Josh tends to think they are both girls and I go back and forth between boy/girl and boy/boy.  Who knows!  It is driving Josh crazy not knowing.  It is helping me get through these long months.  It is hard trying to decorate the nursery and figuring out names.  I did find some fun sheets for the cribs and I will post more on that later as well.

32 Weeks Pregnant with Twins!  

Party time!!

Dancing with my Pops at his retirement party


Life of the party!


My great Grandpa Postol




My great Uncle Tom




My great Aunt Chris


Not sure about this Omnimax theatre




I got to visit with my Grammy V. too!


"Cheesing" at Pops's retirement party


Poor Brutus never has any room in the backseat. Mommy says we need a minivan!


-in may we went into to St. Louis one more time before these babies arrive. It was Pops's retirement party and we had a lot of fun catching up with family and friends. Brooks loves to dance so he was right up front in the mix! He had so much fun and despite almost falling asleep on the dance floor, he did not want to leave. We also got to squeeze in a visit with Grammy at the Science Center and he saw his first omnimax movie.

24 weeks

Baby A




Baby B

-we had our 24 week ultrasound on Monday. All went well. The babies are growing steadily and look good right now. They both weigh 1 lb 8 oz and are in the 44th percentile. Baby A had HB of 158 and Baby B was 146. They both are squirming around tons and we saw Baby B kick Baby A in the head! I still have marginal placenta previa, but cervical length looks great!

Brooks likes to kiss and hug my belly. He also likes to ramp him cars off my belly! He seems excited to meet them. He is most excited about me getting back to normal I think. He says ," when the babies come out of your tummy I can be rough with you again... Right Mommy?" He is really into being a big boy and does so much by himself. He likes to surprise me with his independence and is so proud of himself. I think he realizes his role of a big brother already! He is a huge help around the house and likes to have a "job". I can't blink or he will be all grown up! It makes me sad at times, but I'm so proud of him. I get nervous about how I'm going to share my time with 3 kids...but have faith this is all happening for a reason and that God never gives you more than you can handle. I've cherished my time with little Brooksy but know deep down that having siblings is so important and just feels right for our family.

Riding on long board.


I loved hunting for shells with mommy.


-Brooks and I got to go on spring break this year!! My parents took us and the rest of the family to Sanibel,FL. Josh had to stay home and work, so we missed him tons! It was a long road trip down there, but worth it! Brooks got to do an Easter egg hunt, play on beach, hunt for shells, swim in ocean and pool, ride on a long board, and go kayaking! We ate lots of food. That's when I really started to feel better and my appetite came back. My family was a huge help with Brooks on the beach so I got some relaxation in as well. I soaked up every minute knowing it will soon change. I really cherished that time with my little man. He is just so much fun to be around and keeps me smiling. Thanks again grandma and poppa. We love you!
