Week 33 (March 9th)

We have made to week 33! I can't believe how big my belly is getting. We have now made it past a week from when the doctor said we would have them within 2 weeks. I didn't believe him and so far so good. Things still look great the specialist said they are each over 5lbs now and if I go into labor they are going to let me. No stopping at this point, so I think it is great that they believe our babies are healthy enough to be born at this point. I am still working they said that I was fine just sit as much as possible. I do have to admit that last weekend was the roughest I have had. I had major back pain for 2 days, so that's when all of our stuff for the hospital was put in the car because we thought it was time, but I think I was fighting some sort of flu or cold. Definitely feel better now!

Here is a straight on view - look how much they are pushing to my left. I am lop-sided! The darkness around my belly button is from my belly ring, it's scare tissue - gross!

Week 32 (Mar. 2)

So today we are 32 wks and 1 day. We had a doctor's appointment again (with a different doctor). She said the heartbeats are great and they are looking good. This doctor said my cervix was thin and there is a baby's head right there. She did "warn" us that once I start labor that it will happen very quickly. She also said that everything could stay like this anywhere from a day to 4 weeks.
Kind of shocking huh! It's definitely out there! For the past week, Joe has been working very hard at putting together all of the babies' things - dressers, changing tables, bassinet (pack 'n play), washing all the clothes & putting them away!!! It's really exciting looking over from our bed and seeing where the girls will be sleeping really soon.

Week 31 (Feb. 23)

So, I decided to add a picture from the front so you can all see how lopsided my belly is because of the positioning of the girls - doctor checked again & definitely 2 girls! One of them likes to push against my belly towards my left. The other one is so low that they can't get a good measurement of her head.

So this week at the doctor's appointment we were told that we should expect the girls to arrive within 2 weeks. Joe wasn't even allowed to go snowboarding the next day because the doctor didn't want him to be that far away. The good thing is that the doctor saw their lungs working on the ultrasound.

Week 30 (Feb. 16th)

So I know I'm a little behind on the posting - Sorry!! Week 30 was pretty normal, the doctor's visit was good. The high risk doctor said that he didn't need to see us again for 3-4 weeks, so that was good news. At this time, I think I put on about 25 lbs and I laid on the floor and set my belly on the scale just to see if I could weigh it. I did and it weighed about 25 lbs by itself!!! I know kind of crazy but I was curious.

Week 28 & 29

Week 28:
Opps! I guess I forgot to post last week. So here is the picture from week 28...I was really busy with school and FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America). I took 35 students to the District competition and had 19 of them qualify for State - which I won't get to go this year because it is in April in Vail.














Week 29: We had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and I guess I pushed it a little too much last week because they want to see me weekly just to make sure that I don't start delivering them early. I was told to not do anything over our 4 day weekend (Feb 14-Feb 17) and to see the doctor again on the 17th. Hopefully, he will still allow me to work for another week. The girls are doing great - heartbeats are around 137 & 147, and they sure move a lot. Joe & I think that we have gymnasts or soccer players or one of each with all the flipping and kicking that I feel & Joe sees.

Week 27

Another week and another inch!! We just keep growing! We saw the specialist this week and everything is looking good. He measured the babies and said they weigh around 2 1/2 lbs each. Their heads are right next to each other and down low which explains why I have to pee all the time and why I feel a ton on movement above my belly button. We have one more childbirthing class. We are learning about all the options for drugs!!

Zoey's 1st Birthday

I was just giving Zoey kisses on her birthday and Joe snapped a pic so I thought I would share. She is eating adult food but still acts like a puppy. We are really anxious to see how our two furry babies respond to the twins. They like to sleep near my stomach, so we think they know something is going on.
