We got to have a re-do of our 3D ultrasound today since we didn’t really get to see Nate (Baby B) last time.  Check out our chunky monkey! Read the rest of this entry »

Give me the strength to go four more weeks (+2 days). That’s all I ask.

I am having a really hard time these days. I had an OB appointment yesterday and measured 41 weeks. That’s essentially measuring that of a singleton pregnancy one week overdue. I was 29 weeks and 4 days at the time of that measurement. Read the rest of this entry »

No, they haven’t been born, but we did have a 3D ultrasound today, which was my early 30th birthday present. We got some really great views of Baby A.
