Week THIRTY

how many weeks: 30 weeks + 4 days

how big is baby X2: Baby A: A little more than 3 pounds Baby B: Same. We didn't get exact measurements this week... again.  They weigh about the size of a bunch of asparagus each.

weight gain: around 43 lbs .... A lot!  It's all for the babies.

sleep: Pretty good the first part of the week.  Hospital bed now... can't wait to sleep back in my own bed in a few weeks.

craving:  home cooked meals. :) shakes, slurpees, you know ANYTHING with sugar. 

feeling:  good.  Taking it one day at a time.  Today is day #5 in the hospital.  Just thankful baby boys are healthy and growing.  I want to keep them in for as long as possible!

Appointments this week:  Saw the specialist Friday, cervix is still stable and the Vasa Previa is still there.  We had a little mix up Wednesday when a nurse from radiology did an ultrasound and couldn't find that blood vessel... she didn't think it was there but, I knew better than to get my hopes up.. but was hoping it was gone?!?! wishful thinking.  I guess as the babies and everything else grows its harder and harder to see.  We will continue to see the specialist every week to monitor and changes.

gender: Sweet baby boys

best moment of the week: having so many people rally around me.  We have had so many great meals, visitors, texts, calls, etc.  My ward threw me a shower Thursday night and because I couldn't physically be there we got to face time which was so much fun.

worst moment of the week:  Started having contractions Tuesday afternoon.  We were up in Logan visiting Heaths parents.  They were pretty intense and 14 minutes apart.  We headed down to Ogden just to make sure everything was okay.  We arrived at the hospital, got hooked up to monitors and the nurse said that the doctor wanted us to stay overnight.  Heath told me to mentally prepare to just have him tell us  the next morning that we were going to stay since the plan was that I would be admitted Friday anyway. 

 HE WAS RIGHT.  I guess we just couldn't wait to start our hospital stay.

looking forward to: taking a shower and getting dressed for the day. (The babies are currently being monitored.  This happens 2xs per day for an hour each.)  Its hard to hold still for so long and not getting up to use the bathroom.  Pregnant girl problems.

random thoughts: 

-Heath goes back to work Tuesday... dreading those 7 days on

-It's all about perspective

-One day at a time
