3D ultrasound and XL t-shirts

I am 28 weeks 1 day today. Last week marked a milestone of moving from wearing medium t-shirts to raiding my dad's closet for XL! Way more comfortable but not very flattering. I am opting for comfort at this point.

Yesterday we had a chance to view our babies again on a 3D ultrasound. We had been warned that usually with twins only one baby cooperates, which is exactly what happened. We were able to get a few good shots of Elaina's face, but Joel was facing the wrong direction. Luckily, at my appointment with maternal fetal medicine 2 weeks ago, the exact opposite happened and we got a few good 3D shots of him then.

Stats as of yesterday on all 3 of us:
Elaina measured in at 2 lb. 9 oz, Joel just under that at 2 lb. 7 oz. They both gained exactly a pound in 4 weeks. It's hard to believe I am carrying 5 pounds of baby, but somehow they are squished in there!

I have now gained 35 pounds. I am happy with that and try not to concern myself with the scale. I know it's for the best and I figure I am well on my way to a 50 pound weight gain at least:-)

Joel just chillin'
