Teeth

Its amazing to see such little girls with so many teeth in their mouths!! Evy was cranky last week and needed extra snuggles so I took a look in her mouth to see what was going on.  Sure enough, she had 2 teeth popping through on the top! (One on each side.)  She is now up to 12 teeth!  4 top, 4 bottom, and  2 molars on each the top an bottom.

The last couple of days Charlotte has been really into chewing on things (her toys, my necklaces, etc.) I noticed today that she was extra drooly too and, yep, you guessed it... another tooth!  That puts her total at 8.  4 on the top and 4 on the bottom. No wonder they have no problem biting their food these days.

24 Weeks- Viability!

I am so happy that we have made it to 24 weeks which now means that the babies could be born and would have a fighting chance.  (BUT, they need to stay in much much longer and get nice and big!)

I went to the OB and got my cervix checked today and it was nice and long and closed at 5 cm.  My fundal height measured 34 weeks (ha!) and both babies looked just fine on the ultrasound.  Instead of being head down like they were at my last appointment, they are now both transverse sitting head to head on top of each other at the top of my uterus.

I go back in 3 weeks for the glucose test, and a growth ultrasound including a biophysical profile.  The ultrasound I got today was super quick so I didn't get any pictures, but in 3 weeks I will get some more.  (yay!)

I am feeling just alright lately.  I am super tired by the end of the day and feel like its impossible to get anything done!  We haven't started the boys' nursery yet, but I am busy collecting items so that once the room is empty I will be ready to get things put together and organized.
