Great news

I had both doctor visits last week and everything went great! Blood pressure is great, no gestational diabetes, and a great cervical length. It was actually at 6 cm this time. I also had a fibronectin test done which can determine if I may possibly go into labor in the next 2 weeks. That also came back negative. The specialist said with my cervix at a good length and the fibronectin test being negative I have a less than 5% chance of going into labor before my 32nd week. The Lord has truly blessed us in so many ways. He continues to answer so many prayers. We could not be more grateful.

The growth ultrasound showed that the twins are on track and doing great. Kaimi was 1 lb 11 oz and Ellie was 1 lb 8 oz. I even got to watch Ellie sucking her thumb and kicking her sister. They are very active and I am loving every second of it. Ellie kept looking at us and being a ham, whereas Kaimi didn't want to look at us, but was so active it took a while to get all of her measurements. I was not surprised because I feel Kaimi move constantly, whereas Ellie is a little more "calmer".

Kurt finally decided on a middle name for Kaimi.....It is going to be Kaimi Maleah and of course we have Ellie Klaasje. We cannot wait until the day we get to meet and hold them. I will miss feeling their every move in my belly. It is so much fun to feel and watch.
