Liliana and Liam at 34 weeks

Here is Liliana:




Here is Liam:




Not much to say today...I'm pretty tired out from my appointments...but I wanted to share the pictures of our little ones from todays ultrasound.

Hope all is well out there.

Love,
Melissa

Baby Liam




My adorable little boy...no, not Thomas, although he looks a lot like Thomas did as a baby....per today's ultrasound.

Bad news yesterday...I failed my 3 hour glucose test and so now have to deal with gestational diabetes on top of everything else lately. Ugh. But - at least that explains why Liam's fluid levels are so high. Dr. Sandberg was very reassuring about it so far and both babies seem to be doing very well. One day at a time.

Right now I am very tired and going to post the photos of Liam and then try to get a nap.

Professional Photo


I also decided since this is (hopefully! barring disaster, that is) my last pregnancy, that I should have some professional photos taken.

Here is the one we chose from the group that the photographer did.

Now some pictures of me, my Mom and The Belly



A few photos (of Thomas)






It's been an interesting time...I've been on bed rest since March 30th due to having had a lot of contractions that may or may not have been a bit of preterm labor. I ended up spending three days in the hospital and now a little over a week on bed rest at home. We're all hoping to keep these babies in until 34-37 weeks...it's going to be a long haul.

I don't have a laptop and so far I'm not supposed to spend very much time sitting upright, so I'll have to update in snippets. We did have a great family getaway that last weekend in Mount Shasta, it was so nice to get away and we all had a great time. Of course, overdoing it up there is probably what caused all the contractions, but at this point we all seem to be safe and sound it's all good.

I thought I would put up some photos - I've been so focused on the ultrasound photos that I haven't posted any photos of Thomas or myself (with my HUGE belly) in a long time...so here they are. I also threw in some others.
