28 Weeks

We've entered the third trimester now! We will be 29 weeks at the end of this week. The ultrasound appointment was on Monday morning. Doc says the twins are doing well. The surrogate says the twins don't kick much, but move around a lot. Our surrogate was put on a diet and has apparently lost a little bit of weight. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing but Doc doesn't seem to be concerned about it, so I guess neither are we.

Here are the numbers:

I'm going to try something different this time. I am going to put the new numbers in bold and leave last months numbers so we can compare.

The family baby shower is coming up in a couple weeks. Our friend, auntie Issy who is staying with us here and there, is helping coordinate this whole thing and she has been quite busy getting things ready for a "Thing 1 and Thing 2" themed baby shower. We have been getting a few items here and there from our registry in the mail. So it's been fun getting packages at our doorstep every few days or so. We haven't opened any of them. Ok, maybe we opened just one of them hahaha! what can I say, we were super excited! I'm just going to say, we have amazing and generous family and friends!
