26 Weeks!!!

Well, being half an hour past midnight, we are officially 26 weeks!!! I'll be more relieved at 28 weeks, but I'm so happy to already be at this point! This week, my cervix measured at 1.2. Last time it measured up to 1.5, but the day I was admitted it measured 0.6....so, 1.2 is really about the same. It sill looks like it's funneling a lot, but the funnel never opened when the doctor checked it out and he watched it for a while to see if it would. I think he was concerned because Cooper's butt (sorry, bottom) is REALLY low right on my cervix and her fist was actually down in the funnel. She must have her arms tucked up under her and be curled up somewhat in a ball to have her fist down past her rear-end :-) . Anyways, that was my main disappointment, Cooper is now breech. She's been head-down this entire time, and she flipped this past week. She will be the first one delivered, so she HAS to be head-down if I even have a chance of avoiding a c-section. I'm hopeful that she will turn again. There's still time and she's still small enough that it could happen. Overall, my sonogram went well...the girls still look good and my cervix is pretty much the same. Cooper weighs approximately 1 lb 15 oz and Conley weighs approximately 2 lbs as of Wednesday. They will measure their size again on Aug 5th.

As many of you Facebook followers already know, I found someone to do my nails here on my patio - woo hoo!! I got them done on Wednesday morning. I also got a free 15 minute neck and shoulder massage as a treat from the hospital to the antepartem moms today. I was very pampered this week, it was really nice!

I have another funny Campbell story. She was sitting next to me in my bed eating M&M minis, and I asked her if she thinks Cooper and Conley like M&Ms. She of course said yes, and then put one on my belly that she said was for Cooper and another one that she said was for Conley. They were right next to each other like two eyes in a smiley face, so she then put another one on there and said it was the nose. She then continued to eat her M&Ms and left Cooper and Conley's on my belly. Matt took them off and ate them a few seconds later. Campbell yelled at him, "Daddy! Don't eat Cooper and Conley's eyes!!!" It was really funny, and it's cute that she's already sticking up for them :-) .

She also often says that babies are coming out of her bellybutton. Today she said that the babies are coming out of my bellybutton. I told her that they are not ready to come out yet, because they need to grow bigger and bigger before they can come out.

Thank you God for this day for Conley and Cooper to grow bigger and stronger!!
