3-D ultrasound ROCKS!



Vivienne is on the left (baby b)
&
 Hendrix is on the right (baby a)

Today was our 28 weeks check up and ultra sound appointment. As you can see we were able to get the 3-D ultra sound! How cool is that?!  I just cried when I saw them because they look so beautiful and perfect. Well I guess every mother and father say that about their children, but come on...look at them...they are super cute. hahehahehahe. 

Our appointment was great! I gained another 2 1/2 pounds. Vivienne's weight was 2 lbs. 6 oz. & Hendrix weighted at 2 lbs. 11 oz. which is right on target for where they need to be at 28 weeks.  My due date is still on 11/30 and as of now both babies are facing head down.  My doctor did suggest for me to invest in a tummy cradle for support. I did not want to do it at first, but with the extreme back pain I experience everyday I decided to take her advice. I will update you all on that when  I get it. Hopefully it works as well as my doctor says it does.

As for me I feel great minus my back pain. I stopped working on September 2nd due to doctors orders. It was so weird at first not working, but now I'm starting to enjoy it. ha. I just feel guilty seeing Ray go to work everyday. I feel like he should rest up too before the big event in November. Oh well...what is a mom-to-be suppose to do? hahaha. Here is a photo of my belly at 28 weeks...
I am getting HUGE!  Ray has big hands and my belly makes his hands look tiny. hahaha.  My doctor said I am measuring at 39 weeks which is FULL TERM. Oh myyyyyyy  I just have no idea what I am going to look like in 8 to 10 more weeks.  Most of my family and friends that I talk to say they don't think I will make it to 11/30, but for some odd reason I do. I guess time will only tell.

Well that is it for now. Love y'all!
