Thankful

I'm nearing week 25 week of my pregnancy, crazy to think that in 3 months (hopefully no sooner), we will be meeting out 2 little angels. I have been reminded lately of how incredibly blessed we have been. I have had numerous family, friends, and co-works help us prepare for these babies and I am reminded we are more then ready for these babies to come.

For some reason I can't upload a pic on here....so no prego pic this time.....

I am also thankful for such a easy pregnancy again. God has blessed this pregnancy in so many ways. At each appointment and ultrasound the babies are showing great health, and my health has been good too. I,  have been fortunate to still be working my normal hours at work too, only missing 1 day due to being hit with the stomach flu. It has been extremely nice to have a break in the middle of the week as I have Wednesdays off. My personal goal is to be able to work and carry the babies until the beginning of April. April 3 to be exact is our 4 year anniversary and is when I'll be about 36 weeks. April 19 marks 38 weeks and I most likely will not go over that date, so 3 months from this coming Saturday we will have our babies!

My doctor has been great and very encouraging about the delivery. As long as the babies are in a good position I will proceed with a normal birth. However, if baby A is transverse (sideways), a C-Section will most likely be done. The fact of giving birth to 2 babies is still a bit overwhelming but I know in time my nerves will be calm.

Today I had another measurement ultrasound and they sure are growing. My last ultrasound 4 weeks ago, showed the babies where just under 1lb. Now, Baby A is 1 lb 10 oz and measuring 25 weeks and 1 day, Baby B is 1 lb 12 oz and measuring 24 weeks and 6 days, both right on schedule! The babies are kicking and moving like crazy too, all day long! Fortunately, sleeping has not been an issue so that is another blessing. I think God is providing me with good nights of rest because he is trying to prepare me for the lack of sleep I will be getting when the babies come home:).

Last but not least is the NAME dilemma.....any suggestions for girl names are appreciated. We are still going back forth and not ultimately set on any 2 names, hopefully we can come to an agreement soon!

Thanks for reading and supporting Aaron and I during this time. It has been a true blessing to see everyone support us during this time.
