ALMOST THERE- 30 WEEKS!

On May 15th we started our childbirth/breastfeeding classes. It was funny during the childbirth classes. We had to sit on the floor, Nathan hold me up and I had to breathe deep soothing breaths of hospital air. Nathan keep telling me jokes the whole time, so we were just sitting there acting like junior highers while everyone was serious. The teacher told me to bring Nathan to both classes. I thought it was kind of funny that they would ask Nathan to come to the breastfeeding class too.

We arrived at the hospital for the class last Tuesday. Ofcourse, he ended up being the only husband there. All the women sitting in the circle smiled. Nathan whispered to me, "Hey, can I leave?" He started to turn red. I told him to go ahead, I wouldn't torture him like that. I was so glad he left because the video showed way too many nasty boobies. On top of that we had to pretend we were breastfeeding (over the clothes) with the cabbage patch dolls, while the teacher showed us examples with the fake boob. I give Nathan kudos for coming to the class without one complaint.

On May 16th, I had another sonogram. The babies are now 2lbs 14 oz each, which is really great for twins. They normally have issues keeping the weight of both babies close to the same. I would say by today they are probably about 3 pounds each and believe me I can feel every ounce.

A lady at church told me her grand-baby twin girls were 7 to 8 pounds each. I couldn't even imagine it. I would need a crane to hold my belly up! I know it would be worth it for the sake of their health.


How your baby's growing: This week, your baby measures about 16 inches long. He weighs a little over 3 pounds and is headed for a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and he's beginning to accumulate a layer of fat underneath his skin in preparation for life as a newborn. As a result, his arms, legs, and body are filling out.
