Well I just got back from the doctors and my appointment went well. Since there have been no changes to my cervix the last few times it was checked and now that I am 30 weeks as of tomorrow we didn't check it today.

As for the babies, well they are growing and growing. Today we took measurements of both of them. Morgan aka Baby A measured 3 pounds and Riley aka Baby B measured 3 pounds 3 ounces. This blows my mind still to think there is 6 pounds of baby in this belly right now and they more then doubled there weight since the last measurement at 24 weeks. Morgan was 1 lb 6 oz and Riley was 1 lb 7 oz, so in 6 weeks they more then doubled and I have 7 weeks to go before my C-section so they could be 6 pounds each if all goes well. That is 12 pounds of baby.. OMG!!!!
Thank god I am tall and have some meat on me cause if I was a tiny person I don't see them fitting in there lol. Also Riley is no longer head up feet down. They are both head down, feet up. I assumed she flipped cause one day she just felt weird and was in like a bowling ball position. It felt funny and I had this big hard ball then all of a sudden she was stretched out again and when she kicks I feel it up high and not down low.

My mom doesn't think I am going to make it til Oct 11th though. She thinks I am going to go earlier then that. Since I was a 32 weeker and my brother a 35 weeker (both with no issues) it seems preemies run in the family with us.

I however think I will make it to the 37 weeks and have the girls as scheduled on Oct 11th..
Either way, as long as they are healthy and ok then i will be happy. The last thing I want is for them to have to struggle like my little Aiden did, but just knowing that they are twice his weight and 6 weeks further along then he was is great news..

I see the midwife next in two weeks, then I believe I will be going every week until my C-section (the last 5 weeks)

It's the home stretch and it feels so weird to say that.. It feels even weirder to say I am going to have 3 children under the age of 2 VERY SOON... Actually under 18 months.. YIKES..

Makes me think of the family I watched on discovery health last night. She had a 3 yr old. 1 yr old quads, and was pregnant with quads again. They ended up losing one but in the end, now have 8 children under the age of 3... OMG!!! and they want at least 4 more... A 3 yr old four 16 month olds and three 1 month olds.. I think I'd go insane no matter if both my parents helped me every day like theres did.. I'd really need medication or a VERY VERY BIG HOUSE and paycheck... 500 diapers a week they use and 5 cans of formula, not to mention the baby food..

Sooo.. with that said, things could ALWAYS be crazier..
