26 week Appointment - Gestational Diab. Test

I went to the doctor today for my 26 week appointment and to have my gestational diabetes test. It went well - you have to drink this orange drink, that tasted like Orange kool-aid, and then wait an hour and get your blood drawn. Hopefully I won't hear anything from the doctor - which would be a good sign that I don't have it. We will find out soon!
I then met with Dr. Nett and the boys are doing well. Their heartbeats were great and quite different! I told Dr. Nett about my stretch marks that arrived quickly (seemed like overnight), and she measured my stomach and I am measuring 36 weeks!!! Two weeks ago I was only measuring 30 weeks. She said that explains the stretch marks. I aslo gained 4 pounds in the past 2 weeks which puts my total weight gain so far at 14 lbs. I go back in two weeks for an ultrasound. Here are some shots of my belly. If you scroll down to the last belly shots you can see the growth that occured in the past two weeks. These boys are just growing! And moving - I do believe that there is a circus in my stomach. The other night it was obvious that Jeremiah kicked Michael Dean, and Michael Dean moved and then immediatly Michael Dean kicked Jeremiah and Jeremiah moved. It was wild in there! Mike is enjoying being able to feel them and their little bones pushing on me.


I also bought them their "Going Home" outfits this weekend. (Below is a picture) They were the only cute premie outfits that were at Babies R Us. I am going to get their names embroidered on the hats. Hopefully these boys will fit into them.

Can you take a picture with something beside the little going-home outfits so we can see the relative size? (You don't have to take a picture with something beside your tummy - - we can tell it's huge!)
