28 weeks and 6 to go?!?!?!

Well, we had our 28 week checkup yesterday and everyone looks great! Much to my doctors amazement I have had no issues with twin pregnancy. To keep things that way he has put me on a "modified bed rest". I am only allowed 20 hours a week at work (the other 20 I can do from home) but I am to spend 4-6 hours a day laying on either side relaxing, not including time I sleep. Sounds like an excuse to watch bad daytime TV to me! Since the boys could make an appearance any time now, my only job is to keep them in for another 5-6 weeks. At 34 weeks they will be considered full-term for twin pregnancy. If I can make it to 34 weeks, then we talk about getting them out! He wants to consider delivering them early before I run into any issues. (There isn't going to be much room for them in another 6 weeks!) Looks like we could be meeting our boys the first week of September. Garrett and I are very excited to meet them and having a countdown in weeks is very overwhelming! We have so much to do! Oh well, it will get done...
I have had no complications with this pregnancy. I think the universe is making up for all of the weird things leading up to now. Garrett and I say we will no longer be surprised by anything, we have gotten the ultimate surprise! Here are some things I have been told early on in my pregnancy...

-First Dr. I saw when I had a feeling I might be pregnant, "No, you are definitely not pregnant. Actually, you probably will not become pregnant without the aid of fertility treatments"

-Second (and current) Dr. I saw for a second opinion when 3 weeks later I still didn't feel right, "Well Maggie, you are pregnant, I think you might be as far along as 13 weeks!"
-15 mins later during ultrasound..."You are not as far along as I thought...but there are two, you are having twins! You are 7 weeks along so when you went to the other Dr you were indeed pregnant, with two babies"

-Current Dr, "Well here is something interesting, you have a blood type that 85% of people do NOT have (RH negative) and you will need a series of shots so you don't have a allergic reaction to the babies blood type if it positive (like Garrett's)"

-Typically only older women have two boys when carrying twins..."Baby A is for sure a boy...and so is Baby B!"

Like I said, nothing will shock us...

Already looks like his Dad...

Looks like I am birthing a 2010 version of Garrett

26 weeks!!!

We have made it to 26 weeks! At our doctor visit yesterday we got to see what Baby Boy B looks like! Baby Boy A was not cooperating. It could have something to do with having his brother's butt on his head! He would only let us get a profile picture of him, but they look a lot alike! Garrett and I are both wondering if they are going to be identical after all...The consensus is that they already look like Garrett with my cheeks. Garrett is calling them his little minions, he is looking forward to taking over the house with boys that look like him. The boys weigh 2.0 lbs and 2.1 lbs, which means they are still growing at the same rate and are doing really well. (I, however, measure 32 weeks at only 26 and would love to see what my feet look like) This past week Garrett and his mom painted the boys room. We also had the carpet cleaners out the same day due to the quarter gallon of bright blue paint (Disney color "Star Command Blue" in case anyone wants to check it out and see how bright it is) that is now streaking the beige carpet...it was a dramatic day. The room looks great, I just need to find an area rug. We received our first shower gift, the stroller and car seats! (thanks Ma!) It's huge! Garrett is having fun practicing taking the car seats in and out of the stroller and folding it up. He doesn't want to be "that Dad" you see at the mall struggling with the stroller at the car. Jack is enjoying these drills and the rides around the kitchen.
