31 Weeks baby bump photos




A few of you have been asking for more belly pics so here are a few that Ken took this week. Update on the pain: still the same, I have tried soap at the bottom of my bed (I guess old ladies swear by it), I am drinking apple cider vinegar with water, and still on the Nexium. I have felt a tad bit relief during the day but definately not at night. I am going to see a GI specialist on Friday morning so please keep me in your prayers. The babies are doing great, still kicking (my ribs), and lately they have been balling up in my stomache (It feels as if they are pulling their legs close to their tummy and rolling into a little ball.......not really sure if this is what they are doing but that is what it feels like).


We will keep you posted! Have a great rest of the week!

30 Weeks Today!!!!












Baby A above...yawning possibly?









Babby A above and to the right is Baby B's face coming through, the white part is his nose. Baby B below as well, we were trying to get a 3 D but no luck :)






Whew! Time is flying by so fast and this is going to be over before we all know it!







The update is I have been tired, having sypmtoms of gallbladder pain, more pressure and swelling of the feets and hands. So with all of this said, I scheduled an appointment with a perinatologist who specializes in high risk pregnancies and multiple births. I did this to make sure everything is going the way it should be and to insure the care I have been given is up to par. The perinatologist also have more technical equipment to view the cervix and babies better. The doctor goes into much greater detail than my regular OB doc. All in all it was a great visit and the care I have been given is just perfect. In fact I love my doctor so much, she is just terrific. The boys are doing just great. Baby A weighs 3.1 lbs. and Baby B weighs 2.14 lbs. It was really exciting for Ken and I to see them again and just to know they have doubled in weight!!! The perinatologist wanted me to gain more weight and says that he does not predict me to go into labor for at least another 4 weeks, according to the sonograms they took of my cervix. It was a great visit to the doctor and to Dr. Gregory today.



Dr. Gregory has pegged me has pegged me as the mystery patient. They have taken ultrasounds of my gallbladder and bloodwork has been drawn for the gallbladder and liver. Everything has come back looking good, so she and the perinatologist are unsure of what is causing the very bad pain on the upper right hand side of the abdomen and back. The dr. is putting me on Nexium to see if this helps and if not she will send me to a specialist next week. We will keep you posted as to what is going on!!!

The nursery is pretty much ready, I only have curtains and the decor to get now. It is looking so cute and we can't wait to share pictures of it when it is complete!!!
We have had my mom and then Miss and Dave come to visit to help us get the house and nursery in order. Without them, I do not think I would be as ready as we are now!!! Dad DeFoor and family are coming down sometime in April, which we are really excited about. We also had Beach and Lindsay in town which was just fabulous, they came down for the bridge run and stayed with us. We also had a cookout with Beach and Lindsay and the Grant's attended (Kens cousin and Family). It was just lovely and WE love company. Our next visitors will be our great friends from Vero, Mark and Judi, Memorial Day Weekend. We are also hoping Nicki and Tim will be able to make it as well, we will keep our fingers crossed. We are so excited for this upcoming visit, we miss our friends sooooo much!!!



Above are a few pictures from today, Baby B was really hard to get a facial shot of but we did get one of Baby A. I think Baby A has Kens nose and really looks like him but I could be wrong!!!!


We love you all and thank you all so much for the love and support!!! God has really blessed us and we are so happy to assist him in this miracle of love.
