Home Again

I am sorry it has taken me a while to get this post up. Things have been busy since we returned.
We had a very nice trip to Massachusetts. We were able to visit with my family and see some of Brent's family. I was able to take Brent to see Dublin (where I went to HS). I had wanted to do that for some time and it was nice to look around again. My mother and sister were VERY generous with the baby clothes and accessories! We came back with our minivan loaded with stuff for the kids!
When we got back, we went to the Dr. on Monday. Overall, the ultrasound looked good. Baby B has some cysts in the brain which they say are pretty common and will hopefully go away between 26-28 weeks. We are praying that will happen. The two boys weighed 13oz and were measuring at 20 weeks and 3 days. Anna Kate weighed 11 oz and measured at 19 weeks and 6 days. They were all within the normal limits.
I have had a lot of back/rib pain which they say is normal for the size that I am. I am growing quickly, my stomach circumference has grown 1.5 inches in the last week! I am really beginning to feel big and waddle. I can't imagine what it will be like at the end!
We go back next Monday. They said the length of my cervix was normal, but it may be starting to funnel. So, I may end up having a cerclage. I am pretty scared about having a spinal block for that procedure, and am praying that it won't be necessary.
Brent's sister, Beth, and her family arrived on Monday. My nephew, Kristopher, flew in from MA on Wed. He was supposed to be here on Tues., but they missed his flight. When he was 4years old, I told him he could come see my in SC when he turned 10. He flew by himself and loved it! Beth has two boys who are 9 and 10 and they have been having a great time! As I type this, Uncle Brent has the boys on the four-wheeler and is driving around in the mud somewhere! Beth's family leaves tomorow and Kristopher goes home on Sunday. It has been fun to have them here and Beth has been a huge help! She has sorted baby clothes, done laundry and picked up! It has been wonderful!

Brent and Wendy,
Thank you for the fun visit! I pray that we did not exert you too much Wendy and that you have good news at your Drs. visit on Monday.
We arrived home around 6:00 p.m. Now the fun part (ha,ha) of unpacking. The babies look precious!! It is going to be rough not coming up the minute we hear that you are ready to deliver. We will have to see what happens. Take care and thanks again for the enjoyable time.
Love, Beth and family
