Happy 26 weeks!!

My P.S. is coming first this time...Happy 4th of July! That is about the extent of my exciting Holiday spent in my bed while my family and Tom's all had a bbq and fireworks at my house..blah. Oh well, next year I will be chasing twin girls around and probably wishing I was having as much quiet time as I have now days! I did get to see a few fireworks from my window and on tv. And, My mom-in-law, sister-in-law, Jeanette, and two of her kids, Whitney, and her 2 week old baby, Jared (my first time seeing him!) came for a visit. :) Jared's very cute, of course, our family does make cute babies!

Saturday we hit the 26 week mark :) Every day I remain pregnant, is something to celebrate! My friends, Angie and Yvonne came to visit and brought the Chocolate fountain a la hospitall...mmmmm. Angie decided she better bring it on before they repeat my glucose tolerance test and discover I have gestational diabetes. I have never had it before, but as we have discovered this time around is definitely NOT run of the mill! Good thing she did...I am drinking my delicious glucola right now! Yum...eww...Check us out...after the picture I dribbled chocolate all down the front of my shirt...too bad we didn't catch it, haha.

And, as an added bonus, Yvonne, the super speedy quilter, brought me my two fabulous Seuss quilt tops! She decided to use the scraps she couldn't bear to throw away, to make a couple of puzzle balls for the babies...I have such good friends :) Yvonne pinning the quilt tops so I can hand quilt them :) The 2 Seuss quilts...Wow!
They look good on me (or should I say us!) hehe

I always have to add a "shameless pose!"

The puzzle balls...how cute!

Tom brought the kids to visit yesterday and they had a "ball". The babies' puzzle balls made for a safe game of catch, dodge and throw :) They were very energetic and decided my bed would make a fun place to play. My bed is now beautifully decorated with glitter from Morgan's dress :) It's always nice to see the kids, and hey, they brought a lot of the home-like noise and chaos to me...they are so sweet :)

Andrew, Morgan, and Tom...Morgan insisted on having a Seuss quilt on top of them!

Tom is a great big brother, he loves giving Morgan piggy back rides...she loves getting them!

More piggy back while Dad and Andrew play a game together :)

Today my nurse woke me up at 7:40 AM so I could brush my teeth before they took me on my Monday morning field trip downstairs to my weekly ultrasound. All looks the same, which is good. Baby B's fluid level is only 2 CM today, but Dr. Paek isn't concerned since it has fluctuated around that level, but isn't lower than we want it to be. Baby B is now the "presenting" twin (the one head down and closest to the cervix). She is constantly moving and has finally wormed her way to the starting position! We got to see a head, two feet and an umbilical cord all in the same place...no wonder I am feeling very "full" these days!
Baby A...how cute :)
Say "Ahh"...Maybe Baby A will be a singer like her Daddy!
Baby B's face and arm :)
I just got back from my 2nd ultrasound today. Robin (the tech from my MFM office across the street) didn't measure them and forgot to do a few other things, so I got to go on 2 field trips downstairs today! Woo hoo :) These kiddos are following suit for big Cameron babies. Baby A weighed in at an impressive 2 lbs. 4 ounce, which is approx. 27 weeks size. Baby B is even more impressive at 2 lbs. 13 ounces, 28 weeks size ! I guess all the protein shakes they have been giving me have helped...though I probably didn't need much help growing amazon children, I have done it 3 times already! ;)
So, we continue counting days and growing babies :) Until next time...
