Pregnant after IF

AW: 30 weeks and 7 pounds of baby

Hi girls,

I am 30w2d and we had a growth scan yesterday that showed both babies are over 3 pounds...B is 3.5 pounds and A is just slightly behind him. I'm not ready for these babies to come anytime soon but it does comfort me to know they are getting bigger after everything we've been through for the past 5 weeks. 

Things with me are stable. I'm still on bedrest at home but so far it is doing the trick because my BP has been normal and my cervix, while it is fingertip dilated, remains long and closed (according the this week's u/s over 4!). The contractions continue day and night but I think I *might* be getting used to them. 

I am lurking here every day but it is hard for me to post because I am supposed to lay on my side as much as possible. It is easy to follow from my phone in that position. It has been great seeing so many new BFPs lately.

    it's that in each life some rain falls but you also get some sun.
