I am just so relieved to see this day pass and still be pregnant! The babies are doing great still. I had a doc appointment yesterday. Their heartbeats were strong! My tummy was measuring 37 weeks for a singleton! That is so amazing. I just don't know how I am going to stretch far enough to make it to the goal-36 weeks and beyond! I am going to keep my fingers crossed for 32 weeks first! 28 days! Little steps...
This weekend is going to be a blast. Friday night we have our final twins and beyond class. Saturday is my husband's birthday-the big 2-6! Haha! We are going to go to dinner with family and friends. Sunday is my first of two baby showers! I am so excited! I am starting to get into that nesting mode I have heard so much about. I am making lists of things that we still need to do before the babies get here. It is so much! But with the baby shower's soon to be crossed off, at least we will know what we still need to buy for them. I will be doing lots of organizing and cooking! I wonder how long I will still be able to walk... I am already waddling so much.
Well, that is it for now. Hopefully I will be able to post some pictures of this weekend. God is definitely looking out for me and these angels growing inside of me!
Twisting our way through love, marriage, and children!

26 weeks, 0 days
Wow! We have made it to 26 weeks. That makes me thrilled. What is even more thrilling is I got to see my baby girls today for the first time in 6 weeks. It has definitely been too long. I can't believe how big they have gotten
Jocelyn is 2.2 lbs. She is measuring 2 days ahead and is in the 56th percentile. She is baby A and was head down at our 18 weeks appointment but is now head up. The ultrasound tech says that she has plenty of time to turn back around so I am saying a little chant to persuade her. She puts her head into my ribs which is why I am feeling so much pressure up there.
Adelyn is 2.1 lbs but has a huge head. Her head is measuring at 27.5 weeks. The tech reassured me that she just had a big head and that there was nothing wrong with her. Because of her head circumference, she is measuring 6 days ahead but is only in the 53th percentile. She is also head up, right next to her sister. We got the cutest pic of them together.
Both of their fluids were good. If you can remember back about 4 weeks ago, my cervix was measuring 5.5 cm; today it was measuring 3.2-3.4 I do not like the sound of that but the tech didn't seem worried. She did do a vaginal ultrasound and applied pressure but it did not open up. She said that everything looked great.
So I guess I am cleared for camping this weekend. Our last camping trip that we will take with just us. Next you we will have two sweet little girls to bring with us.

25 weeks, 5 days
I know, I know, it has been almost 2 weeks since I have written last. I don't really have any excuses, just hugely pregnant and tired!
I am SO happy to still be pregnant. I have only 100 days left until I will have full-term beautiful baby girls. I doubt I will go that far, but its not bad to dream, huh? Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment and Thursday we have the first ultrasound since I was 18 weeks along. I am so excited! I can't wait to see how big our baby girls have gotten. I know that they have grown a lot because my tummy is huge! Their new favorite thing to do is play indoor sports in my belly. They like soccer, hockey and football, at least that is what I am guessing as I watch my stomach go up and down in waves. It is so awesome. I laid on my back on the couch and watched them for about 45 minutes the other day in awe! Daddy gets to feel them all the time now and has even watched them playing their sports! My next goal is only 16 days away... 28 weeks... I can't believe it. Jocey and Adey are being such good girls staying inside!
We are going to go camping this weekend for the last time this season. My whole family is going and it should prove to be quite a great time. We are going up to Orca's Island in Washington and have to take a ferry to get to our camping spot. I'm sure that it is going to be beautiful. Devanne then starts school on Tuesday the 8th. I can't fathom that the summertime is already over. We finished all her school shopping so she is all set and excited to see all of her school friends again. 3rd grade... my goodness!
Well, hopefully, I will post the latest ultrasound pictures in a few days. Until then I hope all us 26 weekers stay pregnant!
