Prego update

I know, I know, I have been horrible at updating the blog. By the time I get Lindsay to bed and have dinner myself, it is about time for me to go to bed. For the women that know what the fatigue of the first trimester is like, this is actually worse. I will be 22 weeks tomorrow. Only 12 more weeks to get to the goal of 34 weeks. The true test begins. If you haven't seen me in a while, I look like I am 9 months pregnant. I am carrying a little lower than I did with Lindsay, but I stick out a lot farther. But at our last appointment, everything checked out good. The babies are all about 12 oz right now. By time we get to our next appt on 12/23/08, they should be over a pound each. I may complain about getting bigger, but I guess if my belly is getting bigger, so are the babies. There is also no sign of twin to twin transfusion syndrome present either. That will usually show up by 24 weeks if it is going to develop. I'm almost there and everything is still looking good. I am on half days at work now. I am lucky I guess. So far, I haven't been put on any type of formal bed rest yet. (Knock on wood) From a lot of what I had read about higher order multiple pregnancies, if you weren't on bed rest by 20 weeks, you were fortunate. I'm sure that will be coming in the near future. I am hoping to make it until after Lindsay's first birthday party before that happens. I don't want to have to miss out on that milestone of hers. I will try harder to update more often, but I can't make any promises.

On a different note, if everyone could keep the Cram family in their prayers, it would be much appreciated. They lost their 11 year old daughter, Payton, last Saturday to cancer. She was an amazing little girl who had a wonderful spirit and faith in God. I couldn't imagine the heartache of losing a child.

Hey Jill -I just busted your rumpski on my blog about not updating. Now I have to go apologize. ;) I'm glad that things are going so well and good luck making it to 34 weeks. That would put you delivering about 1 week before me. We could very well cross paths in the hospital. I hope you can make it to January with not bedrest. You seem to be doing great!!! I'm sure you are crazy tired though feeling 9 months prego.

I'll definitely keep the Cram's in my prayers. I read her Caringbridge page a few times and ugh I just bawl. It's too horrible to think about that family's reality. Scary.

Take care of yourself and I guess it's good that you're busy and can't update your blog. Bedrest I'm sure is coming and we'll maybe hear more from you then. Let's just get to Lindsay's birthday first.

Thanks for the up-date. I've been looking for awhile to see how things were going. I want to see some prego belly pics though! I am hoping you can make it to Lindsay's birthday party too. Hard to believe she will be 1 soon!

I will keep the Cram family in my prayers. That is awful. I can'e even imagine! How sad!

Thanks for the up-date and glad all is well!
