32 weeks, 2 days…the count down is on!

It hit me last week that I could have these little boys in as little as 3 weeks and they would be in the “safe” zone…3 WEEKS! That’s when the panic started setting in – I don’t have everything done, Abby and the boys rooms aren’t quite finished, my house isn’t clean, our hospital bag isn’t packed, I don’t have everything I need for when they arrive. After I calmed down, the excitement set in and then I realized – I can sleep on my stomach again!, no more extra pillows in bed, no more heartburn, and to top it off we will have 2 more amazing additions to the Keath family. So then my attitude started changing to “ok kids hurry it on up!” hehe.

I went to the Dr. today and did the normal routine. I had a soniogram and everything looked great. Baby A is 4lbs. and Baby B is 4lb. 1oz. so their weight is right where it should be. No wonder I can’t sleep – I have over 8lbs. of baby inside me and Abby was only 6lb. 11.5oz. when she was born…oh my how much bigger are they going to get…yikes! Baby A is still head down (yay!) and Baby B is breech with his head right at the top of my belly (oh so comfortable ;)). We also saw today that they both have a lot of hair which is unusual to spot this early so they suspect they will both have full heads of hair when they’re born…any guesses on what color? That does explain this wretched heartburn I’ve been having. I no longer believe it’s a myth that if you have heartburn you’re children will have hair because it is proven with all 3 of mine. After the soniogram I went and chatted with Dr. Jacobs as normal and he said that if I don’t have these boys by 37 weeks then he’ll induce. HALLELUJAH! I was so glad he was on board with what I was thinking! My next appt. is on February 16th so I think we’ll schedule the induction date then and it’s looking like the end of the week of March 8th…just in time for Mom to get back home from being with Michelle in San Antonio for her little guy to be born. So the boys will all be about 2 – 2 1/2 weeks apart.

We are very excited for these much anticipated boys to be born…please pray that they will continue to be healthy and that my labor & delivery will be as smooth as Abigail’s was.

Here is only 1 picture of Baby A this week (if you look at the top of his head you can see the strands of hair growing…cool, huh?). Baby B wasn’t cooperating and had his back turned so we don’t have a picture of him this week.
