26 Week Appointment

I was off yesterday due to a day of doctor's appointments. First, I had to go to LabCorp for my 3-hour glucose test. That's right, I didn't pass the one hour. I had to get stuck four times which makes me look like a pregnant woman with track marks. I should have the results by tomorrow. After my appointment, I went to Target to pick up a baby shower gift. I didn't get anything to eat first because I didn't plan on being there too long. As I'm strolling through the baby dept. talking to Mom, I started feeling really faint. I headed straight to the food aisle and grabbed some pnuts and parked myself in the patio furniture section. I guess the shoppers were thinking how sad, pregnant lady can't make it through a shopping trip without a snack! I got all shaky though and started feeling hot. I guess my sugar bottomed out.

At 3pm, I had my 26 week check-up and scheduled ultrasound. John wasn't able to get off so Mom came over from work to watch. I had the ultrasound tech check the sex on them both again and.......still two boys. After taking their measurements, she estimated Baby A's weight to be 1lb 13oz and Baby B is 2lb 1 oz. The doctor said all looked good. Apparently I did some significant growing between my last appt and this one. At my 23 weeks appt., I measured 23cm. On track if I were having one, but a little small for twins. Well my 26 week measurement was 32.5cm!! What in the world?! That's a whole 9.5cm increase!!! My friends at work have been telling me I'm growing overnight. Maybe I'll get brave and let you see soon. Be nice! I didn't get very good pictures of the boys. Baby A's profile came out great, but B wouldn't cooperate. We're still working on names. Wade will now walk by and pat my tummy and say baby. I don't want to confuse him and tell him no, babies. =) He's going to be a big helper when they get here.


Baby A has his hand up by his face.
