Great news. I went to the high-risk Maternal Fetal Medicine OB. This lady was all business. She reminded me of "The Nazi" on Grey's Anatomy, even looked like her, except her hair was longer. She zipped and zoomed around my uterus taking a bunch of measurements and after she was done told me that my little girl had caught up to her big brother and their weights were 2lbs 5oz and 2lbs 6oz respectively (at 27 weeks). These sizes are even large for singleton pregnancies!!!
I was thrilled. All of this taking it easy has helped...even though I've been crazy stressed these past couple of weeks, I've forced myself to sit down and lie down as much as possible. It's not easy, especially with so much going on. But Jason and I have been through way too much for me to let my fast pace and emotional stress harm our little miracles.
I'm sick as a dog right now. Took the day off from work to come home, ended up sleeping for hours. Doctor called me in a Z-pack and I hope it kicks in soon. It's a really bad cold/sinus infection, very gross, very green. I haven't been sick this whole pregnancy so I guess something finally just gave in and wore me down. Tomorrow is also the service for my grandmother who passed away so we have to travel to Comfort for the weekend. My plan is to sleep as much as possible, try not to emotionally stress out too much and hope this virus just runs its course.
I passed my longer glucose test (woohoo) and my iron absorption info came back within normal range, so the only thing left for me to do is just consume more iron, nothing is pointing to an absorption problem. I'm going to up my daily dose and try and shake this anemia.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for our little girl...they worked!

Just a quick I love you and wish I could still be there with you. I'll keep trying to get you by phone, but in no way should you view it as essential that you answer. We'll catch up when the stars align, my dear!! I cannot wait!
I love you too! ...sorry about any phone contact attempts... my phone battery is dead, I keep forgetting to plug it in and charge it. I mean really its ridiculous. I think my phone is in my desk at work, who knows. I will make it a goal to find it, plug it in and call you this week. Thank you for thinking of me :) and I'll be talking to you soon!
Val my little sniglet... I wish I could see you and Jason and your little lump... but it will have to wait until the babies are here. I'm so excited for you and I can't help but know that Pepe is looking down on you, helping with prayers and guarding you with all he has. You are such a very special young woman and I love you with my whole heart. God Bless You during this last trimester. I read your blog every week to stay caught up. Hugs and Kisses to you "4".
