Hello all! Well let's see I had an appointment the 10th of March and I was able to see both boys. They are both doing great and Baby A now weighs 1.12 lb and Baby B weighs 1.10 lb. They were both in a head down transverse position. Baby A was head down and we could not get any pictures of him but of course Baby B was showing off as usual :) He was smiling and drinking fluid which apparently is a good sign of fetal development (according to the sonographer). Both boys are very active especially in the morning and when I go to bed at night. I just love feeling them move around and watching my stomach move around. Ken is in complete amazement by watching my stomach move. Sometimes when we are watching t.v. I will put the remote control on my tummy to see if they can kick it off. It has not happened yet, but I feel the day is coming soon for that!
New news is that I found my first stretch mark :( It is very small as of now so good news is that it could be worse. It was a sad day in my world but these guys are so worth it. As long as they come out healthy is all that matters. I have developed gallbladder pain due to pregnancy, so I am now on a strict low fat diet, which is very hard being that I crave all sweet and fatty foods. My back is steadily aching but that is normal and my heartburn is starting to get under control as I have just started medication for it. I tried TUMS first since I did not want to take a medication but I had to since I was not sleeping at night. Everything else seems to be great. Dr. Gregory is very pleased with the growth of the boys and at how I am doing.
Ken is doing just fabulous in his job and he still loves it! YAY! We are all so proud of his many accomplishments in such a short period of time. He is just so excited to meet his little boys! We both look at eachother sometimes and say "I can't believe we are going to be parents soon!"
Bella is doing good, she has become very whiny lately and clingy to both of us. I think she knows she is about to become third fiddle.
I just took a trip to Virginia which is where my cousins Jennifer and Becky threw a great baby shower. There were friends I have not been able to see in a while so that was just lovely. I was able to visit with my grandmother, mom, cousins, aunts and uncles.
We will continue to keep you all updated. We have a very busy month of April coming up. We have many visitors that will be coming such as Beach and Lindsay, my cousin Alesha, Dad DeFoor & family, Miss & Dave, & my mom!!! We look forward to visiting everyone as we love company!
Please keep us in your daily prayers. We want these babies to stay in for as long as possible :) We thank God for all of our daily blessings and for such a wonderful support system of family and friends.
Love,
The DeFoors
