Update and Pictures

I thought that I would post some recent picutres of me and Jess because we are just sitting around waiting for these two little babies to decide they are ready to the come to our family. I keep taking pictures so I can show how big I really get. However, the first thing everyone says when they see me is that I'm not big enough for there to be two inside but I promise there are two. I feel them moving all the time!! Anyway life is a little uncomfortable, my feet are swollen and hurt, the heartburn is raging, and overall just uncomfortable. It's really not that bad though. I don't think I should be complaining because this pregnancy has been so easy. Anyway, going to the doctor today and hoping that I made some progress and we can see some action soon. Enjoy the pictures.

These pictures were all taken between 37 and 38 weeks.

90% effaced and Dialated to a 2

So I went to my doctor's appointment yesterday and I knew that he was going to check me to see if I was starting to dialate at all (lovely!). Anyways I was quite shocked to find out that I was already to a 2 and 90% effaced (I don't know how you spell that). So then we had to figure the whole situation out. My doc is leaving town on Tuesday for the week so his goal is for me to go to 38 weeks and then he will be back and start me on June 29 if I haven't already gone into labor!! You do the math that means in a maximum of ten day I'm going to have two babies. He's going to check me on Monday too before he leaves to see if there is any progress so i guess if there is we might deliver on Monday, but that seems a little doubtful, I don't know. Either way he said my labor would be really easy to start and I have a really good chance of delivering these twins without having a c-section. They are both head down and Ashton (he's the first to come) is really far down, you can hardly find his head on the ultrasound. All the nurses tell me that I am so lucky that they are in such a good position. Anyway I'm feeling pretty good. I like to sleep alot and I'm pretty uncomfortable but anyone can deal with that for ten more days!!

36 Weeks and Counting...

Well I'm 36 weeks along and feeling pretty good!! I sleep alot and have to go to the bathroom every hour and the heartburn is starting to kick in, but other than that life is good. I go to the hospital twice a week for stress tests to monitor the baies' heartrate and to watch for any contractions. Their heart rates are great and the contractions are pretty much nonexistent, which is okay; the longer I keep them inside the bigger they will be and hopefully we can skip and time in the Newborn ICU. I am getting scared though, it's like it could happen any day now especailly with twins and I'm suddenly feeling very unprepared and nervous! I basically have the nurseries done, I'm just looking for a couple of things to go on the walls. We have a generous stock of diapers, I counted almost 800 newborn size, Jesse likes to be prepared! We got the swing and bouncer chairs all set up so hopefully we are as ready as we can be for now. So now we are just playing the waiting game. My doctor said he wouldn't try and start me until 38 weeks and he is going to be out of town then so they need to come really soon or wait a little longer so that he can be there to deliver them.

The Belly at 36 weeks. Everyone keeps saying I don't look big enough for twins but I sure don't feel that way!


The matching bouncer chairs!!


Ashton's bedding:


Addyson's Bedding:


I just love all the little clothes and it is so fun because I can buy any of them!! I'm not limited to just pink or blue I can buy both. I promise that Addy doesn't have more clothes than Ashton even though it looks that way. I just folded more of Ashton's to put in the drawers. I've bought them the same amount of clothes, I promise!



And this is the swing.
