step by step

Baby boy is three and a half. Active. Sweet. Amazing critical thinking skills which keep us on our toes. He’s always finding an angle to get what he wants. Candy is his love language.

The girls are doing well. I’m to viability. It only feels marginally securing, since I’ve worked with so many adult clients born from early preterm births that left permanent challenges. I try not to think about it and just get through the day.

Their anatomy scans are still incomplete two MFM visits later. All that’s left is certain views of their heart. Right now they are side to side, one on top of the other which leaves shadowing on their hearts. I will have an echo next appointment to try to finish the anatomy scan. Next week I do my gestational diabetes test- wish me luck!

being the second (and third child)

I’ve taken exactly one stomach picture, and although I ordered the cute monthly stickers, I have yet to use them. I keep meaning to. But I’m too tired. I am having to rebuy all things baby ( x2) since we were “done”. I have a new position at work which I enjoy but involves quite a bit of travel. This season is just different, and I am doing the inevitable “chopped liver” for the next two.

But I will make sure they know they are loved.

What an unexpected journey. I am still constantly in shock.

We had our anatomy scan and from what they could see, all is well with both girls. They weren’t able to see some angles of their hearts. Apparently this is common with twins and at this point they aren’t concerned. We go back to MFM in a couple of weeks to try again.

Look at this! 28 weeks with baby boy vs 21 weeks with the girls
