What a week...and it's only Wednesday!

Wow, this has been QUITE the week already and we're only half way through. First things first, though. I'm 30 weeks today! Yay!!!!! I'm so grateful to have two healthy, growing babies still inside of me! Seven more weeks little ones. You can do it! Now, to fill you in on what's been happening this week I'll just start from the beginning.

Monday - The morning started off great with an awesome appointment with the specialist. Mr. Logan is weighing approximately 3 lbs 6 oz. and Miss Paige weighs a whopping 3 lbs 13 oz. My little chunky monkeys! The specialist said that the babies look great, the fluid levels are great so we don't have to go back for another 4 weeks. Awesome! Logan put on quite the show for us that morning. We got to see him sucking on his toes and sticking his hands and feet in his mouth. It was the cutest thing!!! Chris and I had such a good time watching our little man! As for Paige, little miss stubborn continues to lay face down and will not pose for any glamour shots. We think she just wants to be a surprise in October. She wants to keep us guessing as to what she might look like. Little toot! Now, let's fast forward to Monday late afternoon. I was driving home in our neighborhood and was only about 2 minutes from our house when it happened. I accidentally ran into the back of the person in front of me. Oops! I am one of the safest drivers you will ever meet and I had a squeaky clean record up until now. I have NO clue how this happened. The last thing I remember was taking a drink of my water and then the next thing I know I'm slamming into the back of the person in front of me at the light. Ugh. Thankfully neither of us were hurt and the babies were fine too. I called the doctor's office when I got home and they had me go up to labor and delivery to be monitored as a standard precaution. Praise God that both babies were fine and I wasn't having any contractions. They let us go after 1 hour of monitoring. I am still so frustrated with myself that this happened. I seriously think that my brain is just shutting down as we get closer to the end of this pregnancy.

Tuesday was uneventful. Thank goodness! Now for today. I had my appointment at the diab.etes center this afternoon. My blood sugars were great when they checked me an hour after my lunch. Yay! I received some good info from the nutritionist and was given my blood glucose monitor. That's about the only good that came from this appointment. First of all, the place was disgusting!!! It felt so unsanitary and I just wanted to run and get me and my babies out of there! I unfortunately had to go to one of the locations in a not so great part of town today because they were the only clinic that could get me in this week. I will NOT be going there again. I will most definitely make sure I can go to one of the other locations next time. Yuck! I tested my blood levels an hour after dinner tonight as instructed and I was well below the limit. Yay for me! Hopefully this continues and that way I won't have to go on insulin. I'll keep you posted.

I'll leave you with a 30 week belly shot and yes, it's a bare belly pic! gasp! Please excuse the outfit. I asked Chris to make sure he only got my belly in the pic, but he said he wanted to show the true magnitude of the ever growing torpedo belly. Gotta love him!

  5. What a beautiful belly. Bet the person you hit was surprised to see you when you got out of the car. Hopefully he/she was very kind! I hope there wasn't too much damage and am so glad that the babies are a-ok. Isn't it sweet to think of them being in your tummy one day and in your arms the next? So soon!!!!
