Still Cooking!

Well, I am very thrilled that we have made it this far with the girls!!! I am almost 36 weeks which is full term for twins. We are hoping to make it to 37 weeks since our doctor is out of town until then and of course that gives them some more time to grow. I have been put on "modified" bed rest until they arrive which has been kind of boring. I can still get out of house and get up to do things but suppose to take it easy and no work. I have been pretty lazy and spent most of the time on the couch with my feet up watching movies and posting on Pinterest :). I am still having contractions but they have actually got better since being on bed rest so I have not had to take the terbutaline as much. My hubby has been amazing and I am thankful he has been able to take care of me! My mom has been such a big help too and I know I will be relying on her for a lot more help once they are here. We are pretty lucky to have family so close. We go back to doctor on Monday and see specialist again on Thursday. Hoping for all good news and these two stay put for a few more weeks!

Birthday & Babies Shower

Our wonderful friends gave us a couples shower to celebrate the babies and Cole's birthday! We had a great time and are so lucky to have such wonderful friends!!!

33 Weeks!!!

We had our weekly appointments yesterday and everything is looking great! I am dilated to 1.75 and 75% effaced and will go back again next week. Dispite baby b having severe IUGR and a 2 vessel cord she is doing wonderful and amazes the doctors each visit. We continue to pray that both babies continue to grow and that we deliver two healthy beautiful babies!

The nursery is really coming along and the only thing left is to put up shelves on the wall and still waiting for their bedding to arrive! Mom and I found an awesome double jogging stroller at a garage sale and had to get it! So, looks like Mimi will be taking the girls for walks in her neighborhood showing them off to everyone ;). I have washed all the baby clothes, socks, hats, blankets, etc and have packed the girl's bag for hospital! Just need to pack my bag and put the carseats in the car!

Nursery

Well the girls' room is slowly coming together! We decided to leave the wall color since we had just painted it when we moved in. We will see once the bedding comes in (3 weeks hopefully) if it works or not. Cole is still working on refinishing the dresser/changing table and we still need to hang the shelves above where the changing table will go. We found some cute curtains but not sure if it will go with bedding and will just have to see once it arrives!

 Hair bow board I made!

 Our double stroller that I can't wait to use!

 Their closet, already spoiled! :)

 Tissue paper balls I made. Hopefully it looks good with bedding!

Glider chair and ottoman we got an awesome deal on!

31 Weeks - 5 Weeks To Go!!!!

I am now 31 weeks with the girls and can't believe how time has been flying by! I feel pretty good just tired and a little overwhelmed with getting everything ready for their arrival. I am trying my best to prepare myself for them to be in the NICU for a while and that is the scarriest thing so far! We had an ultrasound yesterday and baby A is 3.5 lbs and baby B is 1.14 lbs. There is still a very big difference between them but baby A is doing great and meeting all the milestones for a 31 weeks. The doctor is optomistic that she will do just fine and will only need to be in NICU to gain weight before leaving the hospital. We will have scheduled c-section around the 36 week mark which is less than 5 weeks from now! We are praying that they continue to grow from now until then and that we have two healthy babies upon delivery!

The nursery is coming along great! Waiting for bedding to come in which should be 3-4 weeks. I will post pictures soon!

We have had 3 wonderful showers so far and two more to go! We feel so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends!

29 Weeks!!!!

We are now seeing the doctor weekly! The babies look great and growing like weeds! I love getting to see them every week too. We got some great pictures of baby A this time but none of baby B as her face was blocked by her sister's legs and feet! LOL We even got to see her yawning and sticking out her tongue which was really cute.

Urban Belly Photos

Since we were not sure about me being on bed rest or how much longer we really have until the twins are here we went ahead and scheduled our maternity photos during the Christmas break. They turned out amazing!!! Cortney Russell also did our engagement and wedding and we love her!
