2nd trimester in review and 28 weeks

I am feeling SO blessed that the 2nd trimester is over and the last one is here! What a smooth and wonderful pregnancy this has been. Here is 2nd trimester in review...


At 16 weeks we were thrilled to find out the genders of our sweet babies!


17 weeks felt a few bubbly type flutters.


19 weeks felt tiny movements.

At 19 weeks we had our anatomy scan which gave us quite a scare with Jack Henry. We followed up at 21 weeks with a level 2 ultrasound to find out that everything was perfect with our little guy and we had two healthy, happy, growing babies. This was a great test of our faith and we give glory to God.


22 weeks felt strong and consistant movement. What a joy :)


24 weeks I hit the "viability" milestone. With the scares of twins coming early, this is a big milestone as if they were born then, they would have a chance of survival with lots of help from the NICU.


24 weeks is also when I started getting pretty physically uncomfortable.


27 weeks I was put on modified bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy and taken out of work.


Here are some 2nd trimester phone pictures...
