28!!!

Hi everyone! 
28 weeks today!  Another week, another little sigh of relief.  It's hard to fathom that this rough road started seven weeks ago.  It's still incredible to me that we've made it this far... I almost pinched myself when the baby app on my phone gave me the 28 week notification this morning!

We had a measurement check on Wednesday.  Baby girl 'A' is measuring 2 pounds 6 ounces and baby girl 'B' is measuring 2 pounds 10 ounces.  These are obviously rough estimates, but they're definitely growing from our last measurements!  They're both still head down... hopefully they'll stay that way!   A lot of people have asked if the girls are identical, which the answer is no.  They are fraternal. They have separate amniotic sacs and their own placentas.  So, they could look the same, but they are not identical twins.  

Things are progressing pretty well otherwise.  My appetite is back and actually feels like it's doubled (almost back to the weight I was at seven weeks ago!). I swear my bladder is the size of a pea now, and SOMEONE keeps elbowing it in the night!  My legs have been cramping and my back is achey... and I don't mind any of it a bit because I still have two growing girls in there that are always so active!  I love putting music on my phone, putting the phone on my belly and seeing how long it takes for the phone to jump.  Nope... I don't have anything better to do!! 

If things stay the same at my appointment tomorrow, we're thinking of going to appointments twice a week.  We were planning on going off of the Procardia (for contractions) this week, but Dr. Larson decided to keep me on it with the mentality of not tampering with anything since things have been (shockingly) stable.  We'll see what tomorrow brings! 

That's the update for the week!  :-)
