Ultrasound Update

No pictures, just an update on the boys after we saw them this morning...which I need to add was REALLY early (for me). I can't remember the last time I had to get up and be ready before the sun was shining...oh how the times are soon going to change. All looked well. Ethan is 3.1 pounds and Evan is 3.6. Jeff and I are convinced though that Ethan's size is closer to Evan's...he is positioned really low and in my right side which makes it much harder to get good measurements on him. Evan has flipped so both boys are head down, but kind of diagonal and still sort of stacked on each other. The good news is my doctor said today that they will probably stay in this position because of having less and less room to move around...so at the moment, no planned c-section and we can try for a regular delivery. I am starting to have appointments every two weeks and will have another ultrasound to check their growth at 34 weeks...counting down the days till November...

Curves Shower

The ladies up at Curves gave us a shower last Friday...it was so fun to get to go to my first shower. We got lots of fun stuff for the boys...it just makes me more and more excited for them to be here in November.

The only shot of me opening up a gift...I have a ton more but I am either making some kind of face or in the middle of talking...not very flattering.

Jeff showed up for part of the shower. Tami is between us. She is one of the ladies who threw the shower and made the adorable diaper cake in the first picture. I also have some super cute burp cloths she made for us awhile ago that I need to post pics of as well.

All the gifts from the shower.

The three pics below are up close views of the monogrammed blankets and towels we got for the boys.

Living the Life

Could the little one be any more spoiled than he already is...wonder what it will be like when the boys get here??

Oh Belly

OK folks here it is...my lovely 29 week belly shot. I am definitely feeling huge right now to say the least. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and everything is good, my blood pressure is still low, and I found out I passed my glucose test (hooray, because I couldn't imagine giving up the occasional Cranberry Limeade or Dr. Pepper). I have gained a total of 29 pounds so far which I think isn't too bad considering I'm carrying 2 babies. I am pretty sure that besides my belly it is all in my face, which I have always thought was round and big to begin with. And speaking of the belly...I am measuring 41 weeks...YIKES!! I knew I felt bigger than the average 29 weeker and I have always been around 8 weeks ahead in size, but when my doctor said I was measuring 41 I almost fell off the table...hopefully that means the boys are growing big and strong...I am just terrified of what all the extra stretching is doing to my skin and what it is going to look like after the boys get here. The 41 week size also explains why I am so uncomfortable at night when I sleep and why my back hurts ALL the time...I definitely want the boys to keep cooking as long as possible but I am also definitely ready to not be so uncomfortable anymore. My ticker on the left says I have 72 days left but it is based on 40 weeks, since I won't go past 38 weeks I really only have 58 to go, which I know is going to go by SOO fast.

We have an ultrasound on Thursday morning to check the growth and size of the boys. Last time they were measuring a week ahead of schedule and both were 2 1/2 pounds. Can't wait to see how much bigger they have gotten and will post an update on Thursday...
