(Horrible picture of me--I know. But it was the last belly photo before they were born!)
Well, as a lot of you know from my Facebook activity, I got my fat feet shoes yesterday and let me just say--what a marked improvement! My feet are actually breathing again.
It was a good day yesterday--had another full ultrasound. Took nearly two hours, as neither baby wanted to cooperate with the tech. Should have only lasted about twenty minutes--I was MORE than ready to get out of there!
Liam is currently "frank breech," meaning he's sitting directly (and boy can I feel it!) on my cervix, head in the middle of my abdomen with his toes near his eyes. Grace is still "transverse"--which she has been most of the time. Luckily, she's gotten big enough she's only partially wedged in my ribs now--she's dropped her head to be down right next to Liam's. They're so close now--pretty cute. Anyway, her head is still towards my left, and her body drapes down my whole right side. Her feet look like they're resting on my hip bone. A little peculiar, but as long as she's comfy. . . .
Based on their measurements, Grace has slightly edged out Liam now. She's 4 lbs. 15 oz. (72nd %ile), and Liam is 4 lbs. 14oz. (69th %ile). Another couple of days and they'll hit the five pound marker! They don't even attempt to get length with multiples, I guess, because of their positions. But we're getting to good sizes--officially out of the premie stage, which is a big relief! I had to look again at their bottoms, too, because I still can't believe how lucky we are to be getting one of each, but yes, it's true. Yesterday's views made it very apparent. Unfortunately,
neither would pose properly, so I didn't even get one ultrasound picture, but I can't complain.
We're about done getting the house ready. The cats are trying to find their places with all the chaos, too. I had to laugh at this one, because we've had the bassinets set up for nearly two weeks, but I hadn't "made" them yet. The day after I put sheets on and set a couple of "pillows" inside, Jackson decides he's found a new bed. Little bugger. . .
Cats are so funny. And look at him, Jackson's perfectly content, yet annoyed that it took you two weeks to make his new bed. It always makes me curious how pets will react to "their" mom and dad bringing home a baby.
ReplyDeleteJust about a month to go - yay! You are lucky you got to go this long without having to get fat shoes. I know people that could only wear flipflops for most of their pregnancy.
I can't believe how much baby you've got in you! It's great that they're both so healthy! Good work creating such a happy home for them!
