We'll try again when he gets home on Tuesday. I had a check up with ultrasound this past Thursday. Everything is still looking good; my blood pressure was 127/72 and my fundal measurement was 40 cm! Yep, I'm now measuring full term in size. We'll see what full term plus looks like and whether I make it to the 50 cm club. (Edit: I've gained 30 pounds so far and finally measured around my belly: 45 inches!)
Both babies' heart rates were 141 bpm. Baby A is still lying diagonal across the lower part of my belly. He weighs 3 lb 3 oz. Baby B is lying transverse across the top of my belly and weighs 2 lb 14 oz. Somehow Baby B managed to turn all the way around; his head used to be on my right side and now is on my left side. The boys are now feet to head which should make for some interesting poking and jabbing between the two of them.
With no school tomorrow, I decided I deserved at least one day without school work. So yesterday I headed out on a few errands which included buying fabrics for a wall hanging for the nursery. The current wall hanging is a little too flowery, but I'm going to use that same pattern but with blues and reds as well as the airplane fabric that my mom is using to make the crib skirts. While at the quilt shop, I discovered this pattern and thought it would be perfect for the nursery.
I made a few changes to the pattern. Dropped the 3rd plane because the perspective on it was kind of weird. I also retracted the landing gear on the 2nd plane; I think the resident pilot will agree with this decision. (Edit: It looks like I did the impossible- The resident pilot informed me that I managed to retract the gear and rear wheel on a fixed gear airplane. Oh well. I still like how it looks.) Just finished the wall hanging this evening; I really thought it turned out cute.
Whoops; belly in the way...
That's better...
Back to writing thank you notes, grading, and planning tomorrow. (By the way, if you bought us a high chair, Thank You! Unfortunately there was no packing slip, so we'll have to see if Babies R Us knows who bought it.)
Happy Valentine's Day!

Hey chickie - you continue to look great! Isn't it amazing how those babies can turn around in such tight quarters? Your wall hanging turned out cute... you need to post a picture when you get the whole room done! :)
Hi Keri! I love the blog. The high chair was from Bob and I. I felt bad that we never got a wedding gift for you, so we tried to make it up the best way that we could. Sorry about the mix-up with babies-r-us. We are so excited for you. Your boys are getting 2 great parents! Congratulations!
