24 weeks!

Since I don't get to have another u/s for three weeks,

here's what the twins are supposed to be looking like in there at 24 weeks. 

I had a great check-up yesterday.  I'm up 24 pounds on their scale, and she was very happy with my cervix/stitch.  She commended me for being so good about bed rest, as she could tell I haven't been cheating.  I will have my glucose tolerance test next week, since I was just short of 24 wks at my visit.  

For the first time since I left my job in April, I've thought lately that I sort of wish I was still working, though I don't miss my job.  I had no problem keeping busy this summer, but it is difficult day after day when you can't do anything that you want or need to do.  I don't have many sedentary hobbies, as I don't usually sit still for long, but I guess I need to get some.  I might as well be working and at least be collecting a paycheck (or at worst disability) to lay here cooking babies.  Oh well...

We really weren't sure at all over the last five weeks of touch and go whether or not we would get this far, albeit a somewhat arbitrary milestone since we are not anywhere near a good place to be having these babies, but we are obviously very thankful that we have. 

Four weeks of bed rest down and twelve more to go before the cerclage comes out. 

A week of many milestones...  turning 35 this weekend (eek!) and my sister is coming to visit from NYC to hang out for the week.  Yay!  My mom is coming down to join us for a few days too.
