I can't believe I am actually 7 months pregnant!! Time is going by really fast. I also can't actually grasp that I am going to be a mother. I know that sounds weird- but it's one thing to say oh I'm pregnant and a total other thing to really have 2 babies at home that I am responsible for! Although I say all the time that I am so ready, I really need to sign up for a "What the heck does a mother do with newborns?" class.
As far as the babies (Bryson and Ansley) not much has changed, except I have been moved to weekly doctor appointments. Last week the doctor told me they would be very happy if I made it to 36 weeks-thats only 7 more weeks! However, is does end up being my ideal day to have them, Oct. 27. Not only is that Antonio's birthday, but it would work out perfectly for my maternity leave. Both of the babies weighed about 2.5 pounds last week and should be growing 1/4 a pound each week for the next two weeks and then a 1/2 pound each week after that. They were both over the 50th percentile for height and weight for a singleton, so that is wonderful considering they will be born early. Of course I would love to have them both be over 6 pounds, but as long as they are over 5 I think I should avoid the NICU and have a good chance of having them be able to breastfeed- which would just be awesome!
