Three Weeks Down

I look at the ticker on this blog and today it says 60 days until my due date. How did that happen so quickly? I can't believe we are only two months away! This past week went by really fast. We celebrated our anniversary, had lots of visitors, and two doctor's appointments so I was pretty occupied. This very rainy weekend John and I watched a lot of golf, watched movies, played Trivial Pursuit (I lost), and played dominoes. We enjoyed the quiet time together knowing it is precious. I had my doctor's appointment today and everything is still looking good. The babies have been VERY active the past week. At the 4D ultrasound Clara had turned and was head down. Now only if she will stay that way I may not have to have a c-section. I guess that will be decided at a later date. My blood pressure was good and their heartbeats were strong. All around a good appointment. We have another ultrasound next week to check growth. I of course can't wait to see them again. It's amazing. Here is what www.babycenter.com said about their development this week:

This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.
