Pregnancy Updates

I spent most of the day at the doctors yet again! So thankful for my amazing friend Ashley who came with me and makes the time fly by so much faster!! They put me on the monitor (NST) which they will now do biweekly until the twins arrive. The girls heart rate looks wonderful but those dreaded Braxton hicks contractions have not slowed! Still contracting every 1-2 minutes! Good news is I have not progressed any further and my fetal fibronectin was negative!! Praise the Lord! Apparently all these contractions are my body's baseline and way of rebelling against being asked to work so hard growing these precious girls!

We also had an ultrasound today! Always joyful to see them! Makes it so much more real! Kaylin is measuring at 4.9lbs and Harper at 4.3 lbs!! That's right I am carrying close to 9lbs of baby! The dr. compared me today as carrying like I would be 5 weeks past due if this was a singleton pregnancy!! You know i'm BIG when other patients and nurses in the clinic remark 'You look ready to POP'! And they see pregnant women all day everyday!! The girls are unfortunately starting to fall off the growth curve a little bit. Harper is not getting as big as they would like her to be because of her marginal cord placement! There is nothing we can do to change this but we know God creates miracles after miracles and ask you to join us in prayer specifically for her increased growth, both of the girls overall health, and my sanity while I continue on modified bed rest!


Here are pictures of Kaylin today at 33weeks 3 days! No pictures of Harper as she would only show us her ear!  Going to be so interesting to see if their little personalities match what we see now!  If so Kaylin will be the outgoing and very cooperative extrovert and Harper will be the shy conservative and stubborn introvert!?
