Today we went in for our 30 week appointment! Seems like we were just at the doctor, but mostly because we are going every 2 weeks right now. The doctor's appointment was quick and to the point...we had a quick sonogram to check on both babies and then a short exam and we were done. The sonogram looked good...Little Miss Adelyn has flipped around since last time and is now head down...yea! Tucker Boy is still head up and laying on the top across my belly. We are hoping both babies will move and be head down by delivery time but we will see. Tucker doesn't always follow directions very well...ha! Our doctor exam was quick...my belly measured 38 weeks which is CRAZY! These babies have grown A LOT in the last 2 weeks!!! I measured 34 weeks last time so that was a lot of growth! The doctor said everything was looking great, I am healthy, both babies are growing, and things look good! I get to continue working and walking right now so we are thankful!

Life has been running pretty smoothly thus far. Basketball is still going on...we have about 3 weeks left in the season. School is moving along...trying to prepare for the rest of the semester and when I am going to be out. I just started my LAST grad school class which I am SO excited for since it is the LAST one! I am trying to work ahead and get as much of the work done as possible this month before these babies come! We have also been working on getting the nursery done, going to childbirth classes, and doing everything we can to have things ready for our big arrival! We are both looking forward to the next months and are excited to have a couple of showers coming up to help us prepare for the twins! We are so richly blessed with friends and family who already love these babies as much as we do! Little Miss Jordan can't WAIT to have some new cousins to play with and is already preparing to move in with Aunt Heather and Uncle D to help when they come...ha! She also is preparing a "Baby School" for the twins to go to. Apparently she tried to get Jaxson to go and he was not too cooperative...haha!
Last blog I said that I would be posting some maternity pictures soon. We were BLESSED to have Jessica Boling go out with us during Christmas Break and take some pictures. She is WONDERFUL and only does this as her "hobby" but we think she is pretty awesome at it! My friends are so talented! Jessica even endured the cold weather and putting up with Derek's difficult behavior to get some great shots. Derek is a mess most of the time...but he kept saying "the Bakers are family, the Bakers are family" so he could get away with acting like a mess...ha! Jessica pretty much just treated him like a brother and put up with him as best she could. Here are some of the awesome pics she got:

 |
| Do you know how much we love you already??? |
 |
| Still a miracle! Everyday! |
These are just a few of the ones she got...Blogger has been quite a pain in uploading pictures or I would put even more up! We loved the ones she took and are so thankful to have the Baker/Bolings as part of the family! : )
As long as things continue to run smoothly, I will update again in about 2 weeks! Please keep us in your prayers as we hit the home stretch...can you believe its been 30 weeks already??? Our first pregnancy ended after about 5 and a half weeks so we are SO BLESSED to be at this point! Soon we will be seeing our precious babies' faces, kissing their sweet cheeks, and holding them tight! Can't wait! Love to you all!
"Therefore, since we have been justified
through faith,
we
have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." Romans 5:1-5
I'm getting so excited for y'all! It will be here before you know it. Praying for you and your babies!

ReplyDeleteWe are so excited for you two and are looking forward to enjoying these same moments soon!! Thanks for making everything seem like "unicorns and rainbows" in pregnancy...you make it seem so easy!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo excited for yall too! And pregnancy is not exactly "unicorns and rainbows" but when you have waited this long you kind of try and enjoy it all. I will have to message you and tell you all the not so happy parts of pregnancy too...haha!
DeleteGreat pictures!!! How long is full term with twins? Just curious how much longer you had. Can't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteFull term is considered 37 weeks which is what we are shooting for, but average twin delivery is 35 weeks. My doctor said he didn't want us to go past 38, so basically we are looking at 5-8 more weeks!
