Here I am at 24 weeks. Growing by the second. I went to the doctor Monday and my uterus is already almost the size it would be at full-term, so I'm getting pretty large and in charged!!!
The appointment went really well. I had another full scan so other than laying on the table for 2 hours and dozing off several times it went great! Dr. Gibbs said there's no reason to believe I won't make it to 36 or 37 weeks, which would mean that I'll bring them home with me!!!
I guess what will happen is I'll go in for my stress test (haven't started these yet) or weekly appointment and the babies will either have stopped growing because they will run out of room or something may not be okay with me (nothing major, blood pressure, or something) and they'll tell me they're taking them that day or that week. So, we really won't know until it happens.
The babies were doing great! All of their measurements were within normal ranges and zero abnormatlities. They are getting too big to get good pictures. Molly is the only one that cooperated for a picture. Here she is sucking her thumb.
They are as long as eggplants now and weighed as follows:
Molly: 1 lb, 3 oz.
Mia: 1 lb. 4 oz.
Max: 1 lb. 6 oz.
Poor Molly and Mia were on top of eachother, which made it extra hard to get a good picture and makes take a really long time for the technician to make sure she's on the right babie's parts. Max, is laying clear across my stomach under my ribs, completely sprawled out "in the penthouse," (which is what all of the techs have said)! He would not give us a profile pic, however, he did give us another picture. WARNING: The following is x-rated...
Every picture we got of him was of his P.P.!!! He was not shy. I'm sure he'll be thrilled one day that I shared this with the world!
On another note. My last day of work was today. I've really been struggling with exhaustion and how uncomfortable I am. By the end of the day I can barely walk I'm just too warn out to keep working. I hadn't anticipated being sad, as I can't wait to catch back up with my daytime TV, but I absoluely love my class this year and have loved working at Winnwood the past 7 years, so I had a hard time leaving. I am super excited to start this next chapter though.
I go back to the dr. on October 4, so more I will post again soon.
