30 week update!

Hi everyone -
Yesterday marked the end of my 30th week!
We marked the occasion with a trip to the doctor.
The doctor indicated that making it to 30 weeks with twins is our first milestone - and congratulated us. She said we would now focus on getting to 32 weeks, then 34 weeks - and anything after that is just icing on the cake!
Our appointment went really well. I've officially gained 19 pounds, I'm measuring fine, and my health overall is still really well. The doctor reviewed everything - my glucose test was a 78 - which is very low, and very good. My repeat iron test was amazing (she indicated most twins are anemic, but no sign of that for us). No more swelling issues. My leg cramps have gotten better since I started the magnesium supplement. Still having contractions, but nothing regular or timable. Overall, things couldn't be any better!
I got to listen to the heartbeats again (this is becoming my favorite part of our visits). I saw a doctor yesterday that I hadn't seen since my very first visit. After hearing the heartbeats - she had a different prediction on the genders! She predicts seeing a lot of BLUE in our future (she thinks we are having two boys). When I shared this perspective with Brian, he seemed a little disappointed - I think he is really hoping for a boy and a girl. Guess we still just have to wait and see once they come and join us!

Things continue to be busy for us. We were out of town the whole week of Thanksgiving. We were able to have dinner with our friend Melissa, spent time helping Lyn adjust to having 2 small children for a few days, visited with my Grandma, and spent Thanksgiving with Brian's family. Friday we celebrated Thanksgiving with my parents, Aaron, Lyn and RJ, and RJ's parents. Saturday we were able to get a little bit of Christmas shopping done, as well as be Godparents for Knox's baptism. Lyn and RJ are really blessed with a sweet little boy, and Brian and I are honored to be his Godparents.
Sunday we stopped in to visit Brian's other Godchild, Ashley, as well as Jay and Tracy. Then we returned to Cincy, and continued our preparation for the babies. We are working on cleaning out and organizing closets, cupboards, etc. We were able to move a lot of the baby stuff into the closet in the nursery - now we just need to get some furniture in there!
We have lots of appointments and things to do this week, which may be challenging, as the tiredness is starting to set in. Please say some prayers that we are able to continue tackling our "to-do" list!

Hope everyone has a great week.
Love,
Kate
