Got a lovely surprise at the 28 week scan this week – the sonographer flicked the switch to 4D and got a great pic of twin 2 (‘Big Val’) smiling for the camera! Isn’t technology amazing? Isn’t nature amazing for that matter….I have somehow managed to grow this little person inside me for the last 7 months. Anyway, there she is – nose, smile and all. She’s currently horizontal under my ribcage which is apparently a good place for pics.
Twin 1 remains shy and mysterious – we got a blurry pic of her too, see below. She’s head up, bum down, somewhere where my uterus used to be before it got massive:
Anyway it’s very exciting and getting ‘real’ now. 28 weeks is the viability point for twins so Im starting to feel a bit more relaxed about my vertically challenged (ie short) cervix. Hopefully I can keep them cooking until week 37 or thereabouts.
What else is going on? Well, I look like I’m smuggling a national supply of tea and scones for the queen’s birthday under my dress:
I’m still feeling pretty good really. Having spoken with a few other mums to be I’ve decided that I am either A. having it quite easy or B. not a hypochondriac. Maybe a combination of the two. Sleep is a bit of a ball ache (can’t get comfortable and need to pee all the time) and by around 6pm, when leaving the office, I have cankles and sausage feet. Aside from that though – nada. 10 more weeks? Bring it on!
Woooop! Awesome you are having a pretty smooth pregnancy all things considered. Those babies look adorable, especially that little smiling pic. Love when they get a great shot like that! Not long now!

My twin pregnancy didnt get hard until about 32 weeks. The last 4 were a bitch though. Just the size and discomfort! Anyway, gorgeous pics. Youll have your babies before you know it.

Yeah…I suspect the worst is still to come! I’ve noticed that I’m getting a bit short of breath going up and down stairs. I think one of the twins is squashing my lungs(!)
