35 & 36 Week Pictures!

35 Weeks!

36 Weeks!

Here are my latest pictures. I am 36 weeks and 2 days today (June 27, 2011). I will be delivering on June 30th, 36 weeks and 5 days. My belly is measuring 44cm, 6cm bigger then I was at full term with Eden. I don't know if I will have a C-Section on the 30th or not. On Friday June 24th both boys were head down. I was super excited that they were head down so I could have a normal delivery. Well, this weekend Baby A decided he would like to be in my ribs again, so he flipped back up, so now one head down and one butt down. If I can't get him to flip back, I will do a C-Section. Ugh.


Here are some pictures to enjoy! My next post should be pictures of the boys!!! :-)

35 Weeks @ Brandon & Erin's wedding!

Eden @ the park on Sunday! 

34 Week Scan & Picture!

Here I am at 34 weeks! I kept forgetting to take my 33 week picture!

34 Weeks!

Here are the boys at my ultrasound on June 8th! They were 4 pounds 8oz and 4 pounds 6oz. Baby B is still head down, but Baby A is breech. I have decided that a C-Section is the best route to go because of this. I am scheduled for June 30th which is not too far away!

I see the doctor at least once a week, go in for a NST test twice a week and I have one more ultrasound!

Eric and I are all moved in and ready for the babies. I am also done working and adjusting to that.

30, 31 & 32 Week Pictures!

Wow. I am behind since the big move! Here are my pictures!

32 Week Ultrasound & Nursery!

Here is a picture from my 32 week scan. Baby A is 3 lbs 12 oz and baby B is 3 lbs 15 oz! Both are doing VERY well! July 5th is still the big day unless they decide they want to come out any sooner (but not too soon)!

Here are some pictures of the nursery! We are all moved and in the new house! I love it!!

The new play area!

The AWESOME quilts that Dale Kuster made over the cribs!

26 & 27 Week Pictures!

26 Weeks



27 Weeks

Moving!

Eric and I sold our house! The day we decided to officially take it off the market, we decided to do our last showing as well. She put in an offer the next day and we countered, she countered back and we accepted! As much as I hate to leave our house, it will be a good move for the Smithback family. We are going from Oregon to Edgerton. That will put us less then 10 minutes away from Eric's parents and less then an half hour away from mine. Since I will not be working in Madison anymore, Eric will have around a 30-35 minute commute to his job. Good thing he traded in his man truck for a nice Camry Hybrid!! :-)

The new house has four bedrooms and more square footage. It also comes with a few better amenities then our current home. We are very excited. The house is move in ready, just need to PAINT! The Twins room is first priority as it is pink right now! :-)

Here are my upcoming appointments:
April 27 - Ultrasound
May 2 - OB
May 11 - Ultrasound
May 16 - OB

26 Week Scan Pictures!

Babies are doing great! Baby A is 1 pound 11oz, and Baby B is 1 pound 14oz. It was getting more difficult to see Baby A since they are both head down. Here are some pictures!

Both Heads! I hope they stay head down until I deliver!

Baby B & Baby A

Not the best pictures, but you can see Baby B, and see Baby A's nose and lips.

I had my OB appointment after my ultrasound. I am measuring 35 weeks already! WOW! Crazy. I am getting bigger and bigger and the babies are moving all the time now!My OB also said she penciled me in for July 5th if they do not come any sooner.

24 & 25 Week Pictures!

Here are my 24 & 25 Week pictures! Getting bigger. This weekend I got most of the nursery set up, I will take pictures soon and post. I also have an ultrasound & OB appointment this week.. more details to follow!

24 Weeks

25 weeks-24.6 pounds!!!!

Here is a picture of me pregnant 25 weeks with Eden.... I think I look a lot bigger right now!

25 Weeks W/Eden 07/2009

24 Week Appointment

I saw my doctor on Friday, April 1st! I am up 24 pounds... EEEEKKKKK!!! I absolutely hate seeing the scale go up, but I know its for a good reason. I am also enjoying food, maybe a little too much! :-) I know that I will work hard after and lose the weight like I did with Eden!!

So, I am measuring 29 weeks, which is normal. I still don't know where these babies will fit in a month or two! My doctor said that I will most likely deliver closer to 37 weeks since they are mono-di twins. So probably looking at around the 4th of July, if they do not come sooner. That sounds pretty good considering I don't feel the greatest and my back is killing me already. Lets also hope I can stay off bed rest as well.

On a positive note, they have crossed the point of viability if they were to be delivered now... Lets HOPE that doesn't happen.

I now see my regular OB every two weeks until June, when I see her weekly. I will also continue to see my high risk Doctor every two weeks for ultrasound to measure the boys!

I will post my belly pictures this weekend, and hopefully get some 3D pictures from  my appointment on the 13th.

22 & 23 Week Pictures--Stay Home Mom

22 Weeks

23 Weeks!

15 weeks to go (Since I won't go past 38 weeks)! These boys are getting very active!!! I will start the nursery this weekend, I can't wait!

In other news, I have given my official notice to my employer that I will be leaving to be a stay home Mom. This was a VERY difficult decision, but a good one for the Smithback Family. We are able to afford it and I think it will be for the better. My last day at the credit union will be June 8th. I will be 34 weeks pregnant and probably VERY uncomfortable. I may work from home on a very part time basis doing compliance work after the babies are born, but that may change.

Appointment 03.14.11

Had my two week ultrasound appointment on Monday. The boys are great! Baby A is 15 oz and Baby B is 1 pound. So, I have two pounds of baby plus baggage! :-) They are both breech, and baby A is breech vertex (laying accross) at this point.

Next Appointments:
03.28.11 - Ultrasound
04.01.11 - OB Check Up
04.13.11 - Ultrasound

20 & 21 Week Pictures

21 Weeks!

20 Weeks!

Doing well at 21 weeks! Clothing is getting harder and harder to fit into!

Ultrasound - 2 IDENTICAL BOYS!!

Here are my ultrasound pictures from the 20 week scan! Twin A is on the top (right hand side of me) and Twin B is on the bottom of each section (left side of me). Twin A is 9OZ and Twin B is 10OZ! They are ALL MAN as Eric said! The last set of pictures, you can see both of their hands at each other, they each are saying I am number 1!

Since they are identical, I will be seen every 2 weeks for an ultrasound and been seen by the high risk doctor. My regular OB will see me April 1st, and then every two weeks after that! Lots of appointments. Today I measured 24 weeks (I am only 19 weeks and 2 days) so about amonth ahead (very normal). I will be getting big, very FAST now!

Now, NAMES!!

18 & 19 Week Pictures!

The babies are doing GREAT! They are measuring right where they should be and are the same size. They look the same and are facing the same way right on top of each other. I was so happy to hear they are doing so well! 

February 28th will be my 20 week appointment to find out the gender for sure, she took a guess last night... but you will have to stay tuned for the official word!

14/15 Week Pictures!

Here are my 14 & 15 week pictures! Getting big! I am up 6 pounds as of today! :-)



13 Weeks

Here is my 13 week picture take on 01/14. I am up 5 pounds and starting my second trimester! I am hoping that I will start feeling better now too. I am suppose to start gaining about a pound a week now! CRAZY!

12 Week Picture/Stroller & Car Seat DEAL!

Here is my 12 week picture from last Friday. I am up 4 pounds! When I was pregnant with Eden my weekly changes were on Monday's so it was easy to take the picture at work. Now my weekly changes are Saturday's, so I will take my pictures the day before on Friday.

So, I have been searching Craigs List for things to buy for the twins. I came across this double Chicco stroller this week. PERFECT! The exact one I wanted and the same color as my Chicco Car Seat that I already have! I got a great deal on it. I cleaned everything tonight and put it together. Here are a few shots. You can put both car seats in it, or one car seat and one kid sitting, or two kids sitting! Very awesome. I also came across a posting for the SAME car seat as I have. Its the Key Fit 30, in the Romantic color (same as my exsisting one and the new double stroller). I got it with the base for a STEAL, and did I meantion its in perfect condition! The child who used it only used it for 4 months! Anyone who knows me will know that I love to have matching things. So, we will be in style in our matching car seats in the matching stroller. I LOVE finding deals and I LOVE craigslist! Here are some pictures!

Tomorrow I will take my week 13 picture!
