24 Weeks and a new little nephew!

I'm 6 months now, wow!! We got to see the boys yesterday and Baby A was finally laying on his back, see how cute he is? Look, he's waving! :)



I swear I'm bigger than last week, even if the picture doesn't quite capture it!



I'm feeling pretty good, sleeping has been rough, though! Especially on Tuesday night as I was patiently awaiting the arrival of my new little nephew, Kyler William Partridge! Congrats to my Lynnie and Joe, he's THE cutest thing ever! "Angus" and "Beef" can't wait to meet him! (Marge came up with this new nickname, it cracks me up!!)



Still going to the doctor every week for close monitoring. We're now getting an awesome test done each week that detects a certain protein that is predictive of pre-term labor.  It's pretty accurate, it can tell whether you're at risk in the next two weeks. But, since everything looked great with me, my doc decided not to send the test off for results.  Hoping this becomes the trend :)

Anyhoo, off to the beach tonight, a bridal shower tomorrow and hopefully meeting up with my dear friend Carrie on Sunday morning for breakfast. At this rate, though, I'll be hanging out with my new friend, Irene,  instead! Maybe you've heard of her!???

23 Weeks

Whoa! I guess this is what I look like when I wear a tighter shirt! My oh my, that belly is ginormo!!! I suppose this is a much more accurate representation of what I look like these days. I'm all about embracing it now :)  It is currently measuring as big as a single pregnancy at 30 weeks, if that gives anyone a reference point at all.

Check up went well today, both boys look great! Baby A has been prett shy the last few ultrasounds and won't show his adorable face. He just likes to lie upside down and show off his little spine instead. Baby B was just hanging out so we got a cute profile pic of him.  I go again next week just to make sure things are still going well with me.  Each week that goes by is another week closer to meeting them and NOT being on bedrest!  Of course I'd love to never be put on bedrest and I've made a lofty goal of trying to get to 30 weeks without it. They have their own agenda, though, so, we'll see!

22 Weeks!

I'm about a week behind, but here's my 22 week picture!


Feeling pretty good overall. I have days where I feel VERY pregnant and others where I "almost" forget. That's until I catch my reflection in the mirror! :)  Last weekend I headed to Seattle which is my last trip there before the boys arrive.  I sort of pampered myself. Okay, I really pampered myself with mani/pedis, a massage and shopping. My doctor said to "take it easy," and I did what I was told :)  Much more relaxed than my usual trips home!!

On Sunday, my mom and friends threw me a beautiful baby shower to celebrate the impending arrival of our little boys. It was perfect! Weather, food, company and of course all the goodies they were spoiled with! I didn't take any pictures but I will be getting some soon! (Coffey?)  Thank you to all who came and to those who weren't able to attend but were extremely thoughtful and sent something, it's much appreciated! I headed to Kelly's later for a last minute BBQ, here's a pic with my BFF's!



Lynnie is due tomorrow with Baby boy P, isn't she darling?? C'mon "Pete", we want to meet you!!!!



23 weeks tomorrow, time is FLYING! We have an appointment tomorrow to check and see how "mama" is doing. I'm sure we'll still get to see the little guys as well!

21 Weeks

Not a ton of energy or motivation to blog this week. But, here's a picture of me and my little "carrots" from this morning, at 21 Weeks.
