Updates on the Twins

I just got back from my doctor appointment and ultrasound! I talked to my doctor about having some Braxton hicks contractions and she decided to do a quick check and all is good and closed. I feel better about that and she said you will have them, but to keep her informed if they get worse or increase in number. The ultrasound went good. They are definitely getting bigger. Baby A was 3.4lbs and Baby B was 3.3lbs. The tech could not get length measurements because they were too curled up. So far Baby A is head down and closer to my pelvis and Baby B is lying sideways, more on the upper part of my stomach. She said it was still to early to talk about C-section vs. vaginal delivery. They are still active and we thank God so much that they are gaining good weight and growing appropriately. My favorite part of the ultrasound is seeing each of their beating hearts. It just is a miracle to believe there are too precious babies beating inside of me. More updates to come soon. Thanks for all your prayers and continued prayers!

Saturday, we went to the Frederick Meijers Gardens for my upcoming Birthday. It was a beautiful day and you could really enjoy the fall colors and different sculptures and displays. The "Thinker" was on loan to the Gardens so we made sure to get some "serious" pictures with it. We could appreciate most of the artwork, but did agree that some people should not quit their day job to make sculptures of headless people and call that "art". But I know Tim and I may not appreciate some of the abstract art like others. We stopped by a apple orchard afterwards and had some hot cider and donuts. It was a great Birthday day. Today, Tim's parents had us over for a Birthday lunch and so I am enjoying not cooking. It is another beautiful day and we are going to take a walk later and enjoy it.
