Filling in the blanks

I thought I would start by filling in the blanks between 16 and 33 weeks and really there is nothing too Earth shattering to report. I continued to have ultrasounds every 2 weeks to check on the babies and of course my rockstar cervix. The babies were always healthy and the correct size and it took about a week for me to come to terms with the fact that I was having two boys. I was tired and the heartburn was awful but I was enjoying being pregnant. Here is some photographic proof of the tummy at about 19 and half weeks for your enjoyment.

If you have read any other posts you will know that just when I think I have it all together...I don't! At 22 weeks, Simon and I went out for dinner. As we were waiting for the table I was feeling really funny. I told Simon something wasn't quite right and we discovered that I was bleeding. We headed straight for the hospital both completely beside ourselves knowing that  if I continued to bleed or if the babies had to be delivered they wouldn't make it. I still had two weeks until viability and not very good odds viability. For whatever reason the bleeding stopped just as quickly as it started. We were on another two week wait and the emotions were out of control. That is when I made the conscious choice to stop blogging rather than just being lazy and forgetting. I was deathly afraid I would jinx myself.

Things went pretty smoothly from there. From time to time it seemed we would have a small scare and go for a scan but my cervix was always closed and wasn't shortening. Just to be safe Simon and I decided that when I was home...I was laying down. It seemed to be doing the trick. No gestational diabetes, no vitamin problems...really it was all going well....untillllll.....
