Time Flies!!!!

Today marks one of the biggest days of the year for us, here at the Davidson household.

August 27th is the one date "daddy" can't forget and shouldn't!

It was 5 years ago today that Jaret and I got married! 5 years!! I know that doesn't seem like a lot for those married many times that, but it marks a big anniversary for us. What IS the average now???

Also 2 years ago today our first son, Sawyer was born!! Hard to believe 2 years ago I was in the same spot as today, pregnant and ready to deliver! I am really hoping to make it past today though, before the twins are born..... that would be way to weird. :)

Here is to a great day!!!!

30 week update

Well it seems like I have new things happen in this pregnancy weekly or daily.... Lately I have been feeling itchy, I think I mentioned it in another post. Well it hasn't gone away... so I called my Dr. yesterday and she told me to go to the OAC (assessment room on Maternity floor) today, so I was there about 9:30am, they hooked me up to the monitors and took some blood work. Turns out I do have ICP Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy which is "Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is caused by an impairment of bile secretion in the liver. As the bile backs up in the liver, the level of bile acids increase in the bloodstream. These bile acids are deposited in the skin causing the intense itching." The scary thing is that it can harm the babies, and COULD cause fetal death....

I had this with Sawyer, although I was 38 1/2 weeks so they fixed the problem by inducing me. They don't have that option yet as I am only 30 1/2 weeks. I have been given a prescription which can help with my symptoms however it does not help with the effect on the babies. This being said is kinda scary although I am not going to worry and stress over it, as it is not going to help. My Dr has scheduled weekly ultrasounds to make sure the babies are still doing well. I had one today and the babies are just shy of 4 pounds each!! CRAZY they are huge, ha... and everything is perfect, they scored 8 out of 8 each.

Anyways I am home after a long day there and just praying these babies can stay in my belly, and healthy for at least another 5 weeks! Thanks for the prayers....

Pregnancy Pics...

Well I said I would upload some pics..... I have not taken as much as I did when pregnant with Sawyer. As you can see I am huge!! I don't know how I am supposed to grow for another 7 weeks, it must be possible, just not to pretty, ha. I will hopefully take pics to the end and then can share them. I am constantly reminded of Kate plus 8, and her stomach, how it stretched for 6 babies, I can not even image that.... My stomach already is feeling sore and tender to touch, ahhh so much more stretching to come :(

15 weeks

18 weeks

23 weeks

29 weeks

30 weeks - this is me yesterday...... My Dr still wants me to go 7 more weeks, can you believe it???

The day that changes everything...

Yesterday morning I started having some cramps, like menstrual cramps. Nothing major but I thought I should ask my Dr. if it was something to worry about. They went away once I came home and slept. Later that evening my Dr's office called and said I should be checked out. I said I would wait until tomorrow as I was feeling better. Well this morning the same thing, cramping starts again.... So I went to the hospital up to maternity floor (once over 20 weeks you can just go up and be checked), I was lucky that my OBGYN was there that day and she was able to examine me. I am not dilated and stayed on the monitors for almost 4 hours. I have been having some braxton hicks contractions but that is normal for this far in my pregnancy.

My Dr. said no more work at all, I am supposed to go home and rest.... Also not to lift, when I (regrettably) asked what that meant, she said nothing over 10 pounds - so no lifting Sawyer!

On my way out, I am thinking about how much I lift him.... How will I pick him up from the sitters? Can't lift him into the car seat, how will I lift him to his high chair, or change table, or give him a bath.... This is going to be difficult for me, I like to do things myself.

So we will have to do some thinking and playing this weekend to see what will work for us, stools and climbing etc... So that is my update, 29 weeks this weekend so we are all hoping to get to 36 weeks, feels like so far away :( I will post some pics tomorrow hopefully.

28 week update

It is nice to get to 28 weeks for sure, my goal is still 36, which seems so far away :( Not that I have any choice in this matter..... I had another Ultrasound yesterday which was always fun, Jaret is getting bored of them because they do a full anatomy scan every time which means it takes about an hour. So my mom and sister came this time, they enjoyed it!

Babies are doing well, Baby A (boy) is 3 pounds (he was 1 lbs 15 oz 3 weeks ago) and Baby B (girl) is 2 lbs 14 oz (she was 1 lbs 14 oz 3 weeks ago)! This seems like a major weight gain to me, but I have no idea. The crapy part was that the girl has now changed to breech as well :( I know there is still time for them to change, I was just hoping the boy had flipped again but no luck.... So their heads are next to each other, it was pretty cute on the u/s. We again received lots of good pics of the boy, and not much for the girl, the tech lady went back and tried to get more of the girl for us but they were turned into each other. I hope she doesn't hold this against me, lack of pics even in the womb.....:) Thats all for now, I have my next Dr appt on the 16th to get these results.

Sawyer news: He loves daycare, can't wait to get there in the morning and doesn't want to leave at night, which is a bit sad, but for the best! He is talking so much, tries to say everything...... and is getting a whiny attitude :( When you say no he fake cries to get attention. He is obsessed with the movie Cars and also loves to drive his cars everywhere in the house, they do not leave his hands! His birthday is coming up this month, I can't believe it has been 2 years!!! WOW time does fly by, which means Jaret and I have been married for 5 years aswell.... crazy.
