Sorry I haven't updated in 10 weeks, things have been a bit crazy. Today I am 30 weeks, that's 7.5 months. At my doctors appointment last week she said I'm measuring 38 weeks, so basically full term for a singleton. So I'm pretty large :-)
As are the babies, at my last ultrasound almost 4 weeks ago they were measuring almost 2.5 lbs each, which was almost 0.5 lbs more than the average size for their gestational age, so I'm a super oven. 4 weeks ago my cervix was still looking good and the babies look great. Hottie husband got to see his first "money shots" of the babies boy parts and all the rest of their anatomy, everything measures well, we even got to see hair on both of their heads (technology is amazing). Baby B was a bit uncooperative, his chin resting on his chest the whole time, but they got one with his mouth wide open which I thought was pretty cool.
We've been quite busy. Two weekends ago we hosted my brother and his girlfriend and had a great time sightseeing, visiting Vancouver and taking them wine tasting. Below is my bro and his girlfriend taking in the sunset in Mukilteo.
Weekend before that, Labor Day, we were at Virginia Tech for the kick-off game. I managed to stay out until 2 AM both Saturday and Sunday night where we closed down the bars :-). We got to see lots of friends (Lot 13 tailgate lives on strong as seen in the pic below) and the football team won in overtime so overall an extremely successful weekend. HH even got the diamond treatment on our way home, got picked up from our plane and driven to our next plane in a Porsche Cayenne (see pic), and got first class seats for the ATL-SEA segment
.
The weekend before that we were in NJ for my 5 year HS reunion. My parents also threw me an amazing surprise baby shower. They had some great helpers and I am still overwhelmed by how many people were there and how generous they all were. Since everyone shipped the presents to WA my mom had folks act out their presents, it was so fun! Below is me and my sis on the patio of the Oyster Point, where the shower was.
The only bad news is my blood pressure has started going up as of last Monday. I have another appointment on Monday and we will discuss potentially starting my maternity leave as early as next week. So I've been working all week to get things squared away just in case.
