Wow, I can't believe there's only 9 weeks to go (assuming we make it to 37, but I believe in the power of positive thinking!!!).
I had an appt today and Hudson weighs 2.9 and Kennedy weighs 2.8 which is awesome! They are right on track and are measuring at 28 weeks and 4 days which is just a few days ahead of schedule. I asked the doctor how much weight they could gain in the next 8-9 weeks and he said 3-4 pounds if all goes well. That would be awesome! I would LOVE to have 6 pound babies!!!! Heck, the bigger the better!
I asked if there were anymore tests or what I would need to do within the following weeks and he said if we make it to 36 weeks there will be another test. IF???...before I could say anything he quickly said "I'm sure we will"...thank you, that's much better!!!!
I go back in two weeks and then begins the weekly appointments. I still can't believe that we'll be parents soon...so crazy to even consider! For the most part, I feel really good. I just get tired really easily. So easily that after a trip to the grocery store I was exhausted...seriously??? the grocery store??!!! I'm sleeping as well as to be expected. I generally get up every 2-3 hours for a bathroom break and most of the time I can go right back to sleep. Some nights I lie awake for a few hours before finally dozing off just in time for the alarm to go off. This morning I woke up at 3am, went to the bathroom, climbed back into bed and thought "I'm hungry". However, sleep is far more important than food so I thought I can't be hungry and let's go back to sleep. By 4 am, I was still awake and STARVING!!!! I finally got up and ate a bowl of cereal...I still can't believe I had to get up at 4am to eat.
The belly is definitely growing and I'll try to get someone to snap a pic today so I'll be able to post it later today.

My advice SLEEP WHILE YOU CAN! Praying for you everyday to make it to 36 weeks I know you can! 6 pounds will seem huge compared to little Bella she is just now at 8 pounds at almost 8 weeks old!
Love ya!

way to go Ticey! I agree, sleep while you can. The food will always be there!
What a milestone- 28 weeks!!! Keep those babies in there! Jennifer had 6lb 8oz and 6lb 9 oz so it def can be done! I love positive thinking!!
