28 Week Scan

I had my 28 week scan yesterday.
Everything is looking good. Baby A is weighing 1.2kg's and Baby B is weighing 1.1kg. Baby A is STILL lying head down! Gynae isnt worried, but, even though I have been reassured that he is fine, I cant help wondering if it isnt hurting his poor little neck?! Baby B has moved and is now lying across my tummy. His head is on my left and basically has his brother's feet in his face.

I am getting very tired these days, and very emotional. Good grief, the emotions!! I cant stop crying! I know it is normal and something I just need to get through.

I just realised yesterday that if I make it to 36 weeks (Please Lord, let me get to at least 36 weeks)my boys will be born in the same month that my mom died. I like to believe that is a sign!

Here is my latest belly picture, taken today at 28 weeks and 4 days:

My 4D Scan

I had my 4D scan this morning. I was so looking forward to it. I got to Linkwood Clinic, filled in my booking form ( I had to pay R1480 to book in, which covers my first night!!! - heck, its expensive) and then made my way up to the first floor for my scan.

Baby A is still lying upside down so all I managed to see was the back of his head. And a full head of hair! Must say I was dissapointed that I never got to see him.

It was also a bit of a challenge to get a look at Baby B, as the umbilical cord was right in front of his face, but the sonographer eventually managed to get a profile picture of him:



After my scan I went on a quick tour of the hospital. The rooms are stunning! Only 8 rooms. All private. Each room has a queen sized bed with a feather duvet and feather pillows. A bassinet is next to the bed. You hubby or partner is allowed to stay over. They have unrestricted visiting hours. And each room has a private en suite bathroom, with a bath to use for water birth, if you wish to go that route.
Stunning, stunning, stunning!

Then I went to the NICU section. Boy, that was a bit scary! I saw a baby that was born yesterday at 31 weeks weighing 1.6 kg's. He was so so tiny. He seemed to be drowning in his prem nappy.

Anyway, it was a nice experience overall. I cant wait for my boys to be born, but please, they need to be a substantially healthy weight!!!
