Mitchy and I went to Fagan Park this morning ot give Mummy a bit of a chance to rest. Mitchy did the flying fox the first time ...
and slippery slide (he's done that before)...
And running along walls (which he enjoys a lot) ...
All in all a fun morning, though it was ridiculously hot given that it is almost the end of March. When we got back in the car the temperature gauge was saying 33 degrees!
On Saturday we had a farewell for Mike, Mandy, Lilly and Will. They're moving to South Africa for 6 months for Mike's work. It was so wonderful watching Mitch and Lilly playing together. They don't understand that they're not going to see each other for ages and they just play together. Some photos from the day ...
Mitchy has a superhero kit which includes masks and a cape and stickers and bunch of other stuff. He occasionally likes to dress up as a superhero and on the weekend when he did I took a few snaps.
Given that Meeks is at 30 weeks I though I'd take a couple of photos of her in the nursery so we could remember what she looked like at this stage. Here is one:
We had our 30 week ultrasound today and everything is well. The babies are healthy which great news. The babies are a bit larger than normal and weigh about 1.9-2kg which is about the weight they should be at 32 or 33 weeks. Mitch was bigger than normal at the same stage but we don't know if he was as big as these two are. Either way, Meeks is carrying around a whole lot of baby, placentae and amniotic fluid. In fact she is carrying around about the same amount of baby as she was when Mitch was born and you have to add a second placentae and some amniotic fluid on top of that. No wonder she is tired and gets a sore back! She is continuing to have difficulty sleeping which is not helping.
The twins weren't being terribly cooperative so there are no cool 4D ultrasound pictures of them like last time.
So far there is no sign of the itchies which she had last time although the next two weeks will be key as that is when the problems started to kick in with Mitch.
