26 Weeks With the Twins - Last Week of the 2nd Trimester

We've made it to 26 weeks (actually 26 weeks, 5 days today) and on Sunday we'll be at the beginning of the 3rd trimester! It's amazing how fast time has gone with this pregnancy...well, for most of the time.

I had an OB appointment this week and I was able to get the information from my ultrasound done before Christmas (at 24 weeks). The babies were looking good then and Baby A (girl) was 767 grams, which is 1.69 lbs. Baby B (boy) was 850 grams, which is 1.87 lbs. So I figure that both babies are around 2 lbs. now. They are growing nicely. And their weights are pretty close to each other - that's one thing they check for. I'll have regular ultrasounds to keep an eye on that.

My belly is also growing nicely. At 26 weeks, it is measuring 36-37 weeks! Yes, my belly is full term, and I have 3 more months to go until my due date. Yikes.

But one good thing is that my blood pressure is now down. Finally. I guess I just had to go off of work in order to relax enough. :o)

I have another ultrasound on January 16th and my next OB appointment on the 23rd. And on the 30th I get to do my hospital pre-registration. Ahhh...things are rolling along nicely now.
