today i have washed four loads of pink.
just about everything that i washed was either solid pink or had pink in it.
it got me thinking to how different these girls are going to be in so many ways from my wild little man. and how different this pregnancy has been compared to my first pregnancy.

this pregnancy started out different, with me being so sick until about week 15.
of course week 10 was a shocker, where we learned we were having twins.
week 18 we learned that we were having two girls, also a surprise since we both were convinced that at least one was a boy.
week 19 we learned that we had twin to twin transfusion syndrome.
week 20 we went to houston for surgery, which was then cancelled.
from weeks 20-27, we had ultrasounds twice a week to monitor the girls, in arlington and waco, and went to my regular doctor every 2 weeks.
starting at week 28, i got just one ultrasound a week, still in arlington.
by week 31 i was seeing my regular ob weekly too.
at week 33, i saw the specialist in arlington for the last time.
here we are at week 34.

we are in awe of God's goodness that we are here, with the girls still cooking, and showing no signs of distress or early arrival.
after being told that there would be a strong chance of us needing to deliver between 30-32 weeks, which we were told was the best case scenario, here we are. i'm trying not to take each day for granted that i have to keep my girls safe and allow them to grow stronger before getting to meet them.
at our appointment today, it was hard to get good measurements because they were in bad positions and not cooperating. basically one is lying on top of the other and they are both smooshed over on my right side as far as they can go. but we think they are both over 5 lbs.
(both girls are head down this week!)

i feel so much different in this pregnancy. i hurt more, if you can believe it! my legs hurt the most which is hard because it means that i really am not able to exercise at all other than chasing cole and going to target.
although to be perfectly honest, the last couple of times i have been in target, i have gotten one of the scooter carts and rode around in it. my pride is gone and my large pregnant body now calls the shots. most recently the shots have said, sit on your butt as much as you can.
so if you see me in target or at the zoo or in any other store riding a scooter, don't laugh at me. or at least not where i can see it.
(this picture is a little hard to figure out as my sweet girl's head is not very clear. but what is clear, is that these babies have some hair! who knew that you could see that on an ultrasound! now to see how much and what color!!!)
