We are so, so, so, SO incredibly grateful to have made it to the 3rd trimester this week!! God has been more than gracious to us, and we are just thrilled!!
I had a doctors visit today, and everything is looking great still. My blood pressure was good, no signs of pre-eclampsia, my weight was up 2 pounds (which makes 28 pounds so far this pregnancy), and my favorite stat so far...I am measuring....37 weeks! HA! Isn't that funny?!? Here I am at 28 weeks pregnant (with twins granted), and measuring 37 weeks. My doctor said that is perfectly normal for twins, but it just confirmed that I really am as HUGE as I feel =).
Even feeling huge, I am still just SO happy. I had to take my glucose test today and drink that yucky stuff on an empty stomach, and the nurse was asking me "was it just awful for you?" and I was like "No! It's such a small price to pay for being pregnant!! I will happily drink whatever you need me to!" And I meant it. I wake up in the middle of the night a lot, due to heartburn or just plain discomfort, but honestly it doesn't bother me. I usually smile and think to myself "I have heartburn because I am pregnant..." or "I can't get comfortable because of the son and daughter growing inside of me..." and I just grin from ear to ear and give thanks to God for this amazing gift.
Here is what BabyCenter.com says fraternal twins look like at 28 weeks:
I had another baby shower this past Saturday in Salem that my mom hosted, and I can't wait to post pictures. It was SUCH a special day. Luckily my aunt sent me some pics that she took, because later in the evening I got button-pushing-happy with my camera and proceeded to accidentally delete every. single. picture. Yup. So as soon as I download those (from my aunt) I will post them. But for now I will leave you with a pic from that same night at my sister Vanessa's 21 birthday party. It's me and 3 of my 4 sisters...aren't they supportive??

Kendra--LOVE the pictures of you and your sisters...that is just priceless :)
So glad to hear all is going well. You really made me smile when you said that it's a small price to pay (like having heartburn and things like that). I felt EXACTLY the same way when I was pregnant with Jeven. You're so sweet Kendra...and I'm so glad everything is going good. I think of you so often.
Sending lots of love :)
