A few weeks ago, my wonderful friends threw me a baby shower. Here are some pics from the gathering. I had planned out all the pictures I needed to take with people andddd in true Carla fashion, I forgot soo many :(
Mary Pat, Gwen, Patti, me, Lisa, Kim, Paige and Nancy
Love, love, love these girls! And since the shower Patti and Nancy have announced their pregnancies! So excited for all the babies!
Everyone was so generous and we received all of our "big" items from the registry and some really beautiful handmade/homemade gifts.
And then everyone contributed and helped make a scrap book for each of the girls. All I have to do is put in the pictures!
And here are some sono pics. I have soooo many, so I just included a few.
Here they are at almost 20 weeks.
Abigail
Madelyn - don't know why this pic is sideways. But how cute that they are both sucking their thumbs :)
And again at almost 24 weeks
Abigail
Madelyn
I'll be 29 weeks on Saturday and had 2 appointments today. One with my regular OB and another with the specialist for a NST (non stress test). At my appointment last week, Madelyn hadn't gained as much weight as expected (she's half a pound behind Abigail and both girls are measuring on the small side) and she wanted to run the test just to be safe. The girls did great, but we will be having to do the NST every week from here on out. Not what I really wanted to hear, but I'm so lucky to have such supportive family to help me out with the kids. It's been a lot for all of us. We'll get another check on the girls weight next week so we are really hoping that Madelyn gets aggressive and fights for her fair share of placenta. Both girls are soooo active and the sonographers and doc are always commenting on how I really must get beat up from the inside. And I am! But I'm not complaining. I'm thinking I will have my hands full though! And I know I don't have a good belly pic :( I might have to instagram/phone blog one- I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot of that in the future!
