33 weeks 1 day! :)

We had a huge day of appts yesterday. I had a NST first. Both babies passed easily, so we're really pleased with how their hearts are functioning. It was hard to believe, but that was my 10th NST. After the NST I had a dr. appt. It was with a different dr. in the practice because my OB was gone on vacation. He was happy with how things were going and how I was growing. I brought up a pain I was having that I thought was a hernia in my abdomen, but he said it is the stretching and tearing of the connective tissue near the belly button. The good news is that it won't require repair, the bad news is that we can't do anything about it. Oh well, minor issue. :) Immediately following my appt., I had an ultrasound. It was the coolest ultrasound yet!! The girls are getting so big! We were hoping they would be around 4 lb. since they were measuring close to the 20th percentile before. We were pleasantly surprised to hear that Baby A is 4 lb. 7oz and Baby B is 4 lb 11 oz!! They are both just over the 50th percentile now! What an answer to prayer. :) We'll get the full report of the U/S Monday, but it was nice to hear the weights right away. They both were sucking their thumbs and/or fists. It was the most precious thing to see. We've been through a roller coaster of emotions since June. It started out really scary, but now the Lord is changing that fear into excitement. :)
Hannah's hanging in there. She isn't feeling too well today, so please pray that she stays healthy. Also pray for a good report from the dr. on Monday when we go over the US details. Please give thanks for the Lord for giving us 10 more weeks with these babies in my tummy. :)
