The House, The Babies, and the Belly





The House, the Babies, and the Belly...that pretty much sums up what our lives revolve around at the moment. We had a wonderful week in all of these areas. Last Monday, we got an offer on our house in New Jersey. After about 4 days of negotiations, we came to consensus on the price and other issues. The inspection is scheduled for this Friday and we are praying that all will go well in that area. The House was built in the 1930's so it obviously has some issues, but we both feel it is a great house. We spent a lot of time updating it and hope that the next buyer enjoys it as well. This will be a big milestone if we can finalize the contract with the house so that we can move forward here in MN.
Now for the babies and the belly....I had a doctor's appointment and ultrasound today. I am at 32 weeks and the babies continue to thrive. The twins are each approximately 4 pounds which is a great size not only for a singleton, but particularly for twins at this stage. Baby A is also HEAD DOWN which is wonderful and increases the odds that I could potentially deliver naturally. Baby B is in the same position that he has been for virtually the entire pregnancy. He is head down and transverse, with his head on my left side. Both babies have their feet on my right side which explains why all the movement is typically on the right! The doctor was very optimistic with my progress as well as the fact that my cervix remains closed.
As for the belly, the picture will speak volumes. The belly is still growing and that is probably enough said. Please excuse the trash and Adi's rear end in the picture. We will update with a better belly picture in the future. This was an experiment with our new camera that we upgraded recently so we can get lots of pictures of the boys!
It is still cold here with temperatures much below normal. Adi continues to run daily with John and then fall asleep at about 7pm so that she is ready to wake up around 4am! She says she is trying to get us ready for the babies.
