As the lyrics (and the enthusiastic crowd reaction) imply we are...
HALFWAY THERE!
THERE as in Delhi, babies, becoming parents, and the big 37 week mark-- a/k/a "full term" for twins.
Earlier this week we were VERY excited to receive our ultrasound report which showed both babies still measuring ahead with Twin I measuring 18 weeks 4 days and Twin II taking the lead at 19 weeks 4 days.
We also received our first 4D pictures which totally melted our hearts. Luckily I had the day off and was able to re-download them roughly every 7 1/2 minutes ALL DAY LONG!
Also accompanying the report was an email reminder from my doctor that "everything is on schedule, hence, you do not need to worry."
Ohhhhhhhh, so that's what "everything is on schedule" means. Good to know. Next time I will not stay up all night worrying.
Ok, that's a big fat lie, however, as part of my New Year's resolution I am going to give it a try.
Because even though I really wanted to share with you how 2012 will be the year I religiously attend that 5:30 a.m. Boot Camp class or actually mail those hundreds of greeting cards I write, I have been "challenged" to tackle something far more difficult.
Thank you Avey, for suggesting that I BELIEVE and ENJOY, and to Doug for "owning it" and challenging me to do the same. (Yes, I run with a tough crowd over here in Blogland.)
Nevertheless, I am always up for a challenge. Which means I promise I will start BELIEVING and ENJOYING just as soon as I reach that 30 week mark.
What? No fair? You think I should start NOW?!? Now, when I've yet to cease sleeping my with smartphone? Now, when I am still adhering to a strict "look but don't touch" policy in the baby aisles lest I "jinx" anything? Now, when I am only half-way there, hence (as my doctor would say) I still have a "whole" half-way to go?
Well, I suppose if it would make certain fellow-bloggers happy, I could try.
After all, what's a New Year's resolution if you can't break it?
I'll keep you posted on my progress...
Great news! Always wonderful to hear everything is going to plan and before you know it you will doing baby pickup!! See I believe it and you can too xxx
ReplyDeleteYay for making it half way!! And I think that telling yourself you *should* be enjoying and relaxing when really, you are still very nervous only adds to your stress, and completely defeats the purpose. I don't blame you for holding off on feeling totally comfortable when you still have a "whole" half left to make it through. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat was a CUTE post! And thanks for the props! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou guys are right where you are supposed to be and the next 17 weeks will FLY BY. Heck, you're going to have your babies before we have our little girl in May! Congrats on the halfway point!! WOO HOO!!!
Congratulations on your beautiful, healthy babies!! halfway there - awesome!
ReplyDeletei'm with ya on sleeping with the smartphone. it is always next to me...even if it's just to play "words with friends"
wishing you a wonderful next half and of course, many sweet memories always <3

Congratulations on making it to the halfway point! I promise the second half goes by much faster! I don't think I truly believed it was real until we were home with the babies.

Wonderful news, congratulations. 4D scans are simply incredible. I am sticking to believe and enjoy even though I still check my iPhone 50 times a day!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't let it all pass you by fretting when some shopping will be required. Spring collections will be available soon. Worrying starts from a positive result and then will last forever as far a children are concerned.
Congrats againx
YAY for 1/2 way!! I slept with my iPhone even when in Delhi - just waiting on any news. It won't stop, give in to the evil smartphone as your new bed companion!! Congrats you guys!
ReplyDeleteAwesome news! Keep it coming!
ReplyDeletewell look how far you've come! absolutely wonderful... I say believe believe believe and start that shopping! x
ReplyDeleteGreat news :) And the 'relax and enjoy' will come on it's own with time, from my experience... you will feel that when you're ready xx
ReplyDeleteYippee! Glad things are going well. Can't believe that half way is there for you and right around the corner for me...
ReplyDeleteSO happy for you and Duane! Hang in there and, as always, I wish you a continued boring pregnancy followed by an unexciting or challenging birth experience!
ReplyDeleteHalf way there is HUGE...we can't wait to get there!! :-) Congrats and really hoping the other half is more enjoyable and less stressful.
