Twenty-six weeks

Here is me yesterday evening for my 26 week photo.  I have a little confession last week's picture freaked me out a little because I looked smaller than at 23 weeks.  I called my doc, I'm sure that they are going to get so tired of hearing from me but the had me come in for an ultrasound.  I love ultrasounds to see them floating around and just being pretty chill.  I did get dizzy on this ultrasound tho.  Evidently four pounds of baby is the exact amount of pressure to restrict the blood flow to my brain and I got dizzy.  The girls are doing beautifully and are about two pounds a piece. They are growing right together. The reason my stomach looked less girth-ful was due to their shift in position where one is a bit more tucked in and they are both trying to occupy the upper quadrant of my stomach.

The past week has been easy peasey until I slipped and feel down a few stairs on Saturday morning.  I really need your prayers because I bruised the area around my coccyx pretty severely.  As if I needed to be reminded that I could be MORE uncomfortable, it now hurts to sit and my legs regularly go numb from sitting on my hips.  It is feeling better day-by-day but working right now is torture and I think the worse pain comes upon rising.  I have yet another call put in to my doctor to see if there is any pain management tips or medication that they can give me until this resolves itself a little less painfully.  However, the girls are great.  This hasn't affected them in the slightest and they are still squirming and wiggling.

On the horizon I am looking forward to my baby shower.  I'm so grateful for my good friends Abby Olsen and Karalee Done for putting this together.  They have put in a lot of effort and planning and I'm so excited to celebrate the life of the girls. 

Please keep me in your prayers that I will heal quickly.  Hope each of you has a great week.
