31 Weeks

Today was my checkup with the doctor. I look forward to seeing the babies every 2 weeks.  Mom came with me. I still don't like going along in case something isn't right.  Anna Kate measured 3 lbs 7 oz and Foster measured 3 lbs 6 oz.  He must have hit a growth spurt over the past 2 weeks. I am happy that he is catching up with Anna Kate. Below are their current measurements:

Foster:

• Pulse- 138
• Head Circumference- 28.58
• Femur Length- 5.78
• Weight 3lbs 6oz

Anna Kate:

• Pulse- 153
• Head Circumference- 28.05
• Femur Length- 5.80
• Weight 3lbs 7oz

I measured 35 weeks but feel like I am huge! I asked the doctor when he would induce me if for some reason I did not go into labor.  He said he would induce me at 38-39 weeks. I almost hit the floor. I am so uncomfortable that I didn't think another 8 weeks was possible.  Needless to say I am still in shock.  I want to do what is best for the babies but I don't know that my body will last another 8 weeks!

The babies were both head down this week which is great. It was so sweet to see them back to back. I feel like they already know each other. They are much more active now.  All 4 feet are near my ribs and move constantly (or at least it feels like they are always moving).

Everything has been going perfect for Jason and I. We have been taking it easy on the weekends and working around the house in preparation for the babies. I still haven't had a food craving and pretty much eat anything.  I battle everyday with my body to consume a gallon of water. It is so difficult. Actually I have to make myself drink it because all I want to drink is decaffeinated tea made with sugar. I love sweet tea right now!

I finally remembered to take a photo of the belly bump last week. I am going to try to remember to take a photo a week to keep up with my progress.
