Week 32 Update

We are at 32 wks now in the pregnancy, and everything is still going great. There are times when I am uncomfortable, but overall I can live with it, as I know in the end it is going to be totally worth it.

I had my ultrasound today, and both girls are still doing great!! They are both growing, one just has a bigger jump on the other one. Kennedy weighs approximately 4 lbs and is measuring right on the due date (32 wks). Then there is Bailey who is coming in at approximately 5lbs 3ozs and is measuring at 35 wks. Yep, that is right, she is measuring 2 weeks 3 days ahead, who knows how that happens. She has always been measuring a few days ahead, but not that much ahead. I know that the measurements that they get from the ultrasound can be off a little, but with Carter they were pretty close. I guess we will see. Also, Bailey is the one with the inflated kidney, and it seems to still be growing. It is at 3.9 cm right now, and 4 weeks ago it was at 3.2 cm. We are awaiting a call from my doctor to see if we still need to go see the specialist in Joplin on Friday. I will keep you all posted.

I am term on Dec 2nd (35wks), so after that they would not try to stop my contractions if any were to start. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of them, but I do want them to stay in there for as long as they can.

For those of you who are interested, I have posted belly pics from 30 and 32 wks. I know it might be hard to tell from the pictures, but I am definitely growing each day!!!

31 Weeks and still going and growing...

I wanted to give all of you an update on the pregnancy. I went to my doctors appt yesterday, and both heartbeats were strong, and I am measuring right where I need to be for twins. I did not have an ultrasound this week, but will have one again next week. I start going to the doctor every 2 weeks now, and will be term in 4 weeks (35 weeks). At my next appt she will give me a round of steriods in the case that I go early. I will keep you all updated after my ultrasound next week. Until then, please continue to pray for us and the pregnancy that everything will continue to go smoothly.

Halloween Pics

I am sad to say that I was not able to attend our church's Fall Fest with Chris and Carter this year, as we had Senior night at Gravette, and had to be there for that. However, I am sure that Carter had a great time, and ate a ton of candy...especially suckers. He was our little Arkansas Razorback Football Player. Paige (his cousin) was a Razorback cheerleader, but we did not get a picture of them together...I am sure it would have been adorable.

Anyway, like I said they went to the church Fall Fest and played some games, and then got to stop by the Fire Station in Centerton to see the trucks and of course get some candy.


Chris and Carter on truck


Carter and Jaxon crossing street at church...this is funny because every Wed after we eat at church we make Jaxon and Carter hold hands on way to nursery to keep them together. Well, Carter gets really mad if Jaxon doesn't hold his hand, so I am thinking that because they were at church Carter thought they should be holding hands to cross the street.

I am sure Carter is trying to take some of Jaxon's candy


Jaxon and Carter just chillin...
Thanks to Emily for being our photographer for the night...I forgot to leave the camera with Chris. Silly me....

New Bookshelves...

Well, once we started cleaning out the girls room we had to get rid of the bookshelf that we had in there that Chris had built. Don't worry it did not go too far, it ended up at Amber and Dane's house painted RED...it looks awesome. Anyways, we needed a place for the books to go now, so we got some smaller bookshelves to put in our room. So, Wed night Chris and Carter spent the evening putting the shelves together. It was so funny to see Carter trying to be like dad, overall he did very well helping him.

Pumpkin Patch with Marlars











This past weekend our friends from Memphis came up to visit. We had so much fun, they got in on Friday night and came to the Gravette vs Shiloh game. Then on Saturday we went to a pumpkin patch. We had a great time, and glad that they were able to come and visit.

Papa Webb would be so proud...

Last night our Sunday School class combined with another class to have a hayride and cookout. We went to our teachers farm that he owns with his family, and let me tell you it was amazing. We had so much fun, and the kids seemed to love being able to play outside, fish, and of course go on a hayride.

There is a pond on the farm, and Carter was able to go fishing for the first time. Chris and Carter caught 3 fish using the same worm, must of been a good one. My dad would be so proud, and I am sure this will make him want to take him one day very soon. Although, Carter did not enjoy the fishing as much as Paige did. She is definitely her daddy's daughter, she was holding the fish, sticking her fingers in its mouth, etc. It was so awesome to see the kids fishing with their dads.


Carter got to sit in the big tractor that pulled the hayride










Pregnancy Update


I wanted to give everyone an update on the girls. I had a doctors appt on Wed this past week, and everything looked good. I did however get stuck a lot during the appt. I had my sugar test, got a flu shot, and had my rogam shot (RHneg shot).


The ultrasound went well, Bailey's kidney is still growing, right now it is at 2.3cm, last month it was at 1.6cm. They will continue to watch it, but again her fluids still looked good, so we still have one good functioning one. Kennedy is doing great, she did not stop moving the entire time the tech was looking around in there. I guess she is going to be my little cheerleader.


I am measuring 31 weeks (I was only 28 at that point), which is normal with twins. I continue to grow everyday, and Chris and I have started measuring my stomach each week to see how much I actually grow. I have gained 2 inches in 2 weeks. We will see how big I get at the end.


Please continue to keep me, the girls, as well as, Chris and Carter in your prayers as we get closer and closer to their arrival. We are so excited about them, and can't wait to see their pretty little faces.
