30 Weeks!!

We hit 30 weeks this week!!! Less than 8 weeks to go!! And I have to say the pregnancy is going swimmingly. I had my OB appt today, and she said I was a prize patient. No gestational diabetes, no high blood pressure, my cervix is holding tight and the babies are growing fantastically. I feel great, and am still excersizing 4-5 times a week. The nights are getting more uncomfortable- as my breathing gets harder and my hips are killing me from sleeping on my side. It also doesn't help that I have had a cold for the past week. Being sick and pregnant is zero fun.
So I am suppossed to continue doing what I am doing, and get them to at least 34 weeks. She will not stop labor after 34 weeks.
Nursery pictures will be coming soon, Mike and I are finishing it up this weekend while he is on-call. It looks amazing so far, and I can't wait to share it with everyone!

New Design

Yes, I chose a new design. I was beginning to think the layout was a bit to busy. I have been looking at some of my friends blogs, and mine seemed a little sloppy in comparison. So here is the new look for a while, please let me know what you think!

Beach Day 29 weeks!

So this is why we live in LA!! 80 degrees in January. Mike was back in New Jersey for the weekend, so I headed to the beach with my friend Kelsey. Not the cutest picture, but she is not great with pictures and erased the cute one. So the babies made it to the beach! The sunshine felt incredible.

28weeks 3 day ultrasound

So we had our 28 week ultrasound, and once again ...everything looks great. Baby A is measuring at 2lbs 14oz, and Baby B is measuring at 2lbs 7 oz. It is very normal to have them be different weights, after all they are different people!
We had a slight scare at the beginning of the week when I failed my initial Glucose test for Gestational diabetes, but after taking a 'not so pleasant' 4 hour fasting test, I PASSED!! Thank goodness I don't have to cut out my cookies and sweets! That would have been the longest 9 weeks imaginable :)
If you want to know what I am craving....it is sweets, cookies, cake....nothing good for me! So far I am doing well with the weight gain, and am at the lower end, so that is good. I think all the pilates and walking is paying off. I am trying to be as active as possible until it gets too uncomfortable.
I am unstoppable in the morning, but come afternoon, I am wiped out. Tying my sneakers, bending down is getting nearly impossible. If something falls on the floor- that's where it's staying!
The Ultrasound pics are not that great, as the babies get bigger and there is less room, the pictures are not going to be as good. Baby B is smushed right into the placenta, so the pics are very difficult to get.

28 weeks and SouthBay Shower

Very exciting weekend. We hit the 28 week milestone, which is another big one for twins, and were given an amazing shower by Amanda & Kacey!! Amazing does not even begin to describe the thought that went into this shower. The girls know I love anything nautical, and this shower was a nautical explosion! Every little detail was thought of, and it made me feel so special. And the best part, was all the fantastic friends that made it to celebrate the babies. My car was filled to the brim with presents when I left! The whole day was just perfect. I only have a few pictures posted on here, I will send out some more when people send them to me!

Happy New Years!

Wishing everyone a very happy New Years!! Seeing that we were not in the 'partying' mood this year, we decided on a nice dinner at our favorite restaurant Petros for New Years dinner. We were joined by Freddie & Weeza and Ryan and Lisa.... very nice chill night. We are so excited about what 2011 has to come, and know that this is going to be such a fantastic year for our little Lotze family.
