Well, I am home bound these days and officially feeling like an incubator...just call me mother hen. I know this long and amazing journey will be well worth it in just a few weeks. It looks like our little ones have an agenda of their own - no shocker that they are arleady on their own schedule. I am fairly confident that we are in for it when they are teenagers....please start praying for us now. So, it looks like May 1st - ish will be their big debut, which will put me at 36 weeks. We were hoping I would make it to 38 weeks, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. They will be a little premature, but should be in great shape. The doctor has already given me two steriod shots to help their lungs develop.
They each weigh pretty close to 4lbs already and are above average in size for twins...which would explain why I can't breath and feel like the Goodyear blimp. I wake up every hour on the hour now to venture to the bathroom. No need for night vision here...I have become quite the pro at navigating our house in the dark. I am also experiencing the joys of acid reflux. So, according to an old wives tale if you have a lot of acid reflux your babies will have a lot of hair...well watch out because I may be delivering chimps! So a good baby gift may be a shaving kit...lol!
I am now truly convinced that all men are wimps because they don't have to go through pregnancy...they wouldn't make it past month 3. But I have to give credit to my fabulous hubby...he takes great care of me and never complains when I ask him to do anything. He has become a regular Mr. Mom. I definitely got lucky when I married him!
So, during my little visit to the hospital the ultrasound tech, Megan, was nice enough to do a 4D scan for us. Aiden cooperated, but Taylor wouldn't show us her face long enough to get a good picture. The 4D scan is crazy...it looks like they both have chubby little cheeks.
So, it looks like I am finally 30 and knocked up! Greeting our little ones in just a few weeks makes saying hello to 30 much more exciting. I still can't believe that in 4 weeks or so Kane and I will be parents...YIKES!!!!!!!!!! I talk to the babies all of the time and remind them that we don't know what the hell we are doing, so we are going to need a little help from them too. This whole parenting thing is going to have to be a team effort.
Well, I am going to run and get a snack...what else would you expect a pregnant woman to do.
We love and miss everyone!
