32 Weeks

The babies don't seem to want to behave anymore... Chris and I have already been to the hospital 2 times this week for contractions. No one can seem to give us a definitive answer about when we absolutely need to come in to see if I am really in labor. My doctor told me that the only way to know for sure is to go in and get checked out. He warned me not to wait until it is too late to stop the contractions. He delivered a set of twins this week that were only 31 1/2 weeks along because the mom waited too long. We want to let the babies bake as long as possible so that they will be able to come home ASAP.

I realized today that I did not have a belly photo and if today was "the big one" I would miss out on getting one.

31 Weeks

Today I am officially 31 weeks pregnant. Only 5 more weeks until full term for twins (yippee). The babies are growing like weeds. She is 2 lbs 15.5 oz and he is 3 lbs 6 oz. Both babies are in breech position with their heads right under my ribs and their feet kicking my bladder. No wonder I have been getting heartburn and waking up all night long to go to the bathroom. We have started setting up some of the baby gear so that Charlie has time to sniff it and get used to it before the kids come. Hopefully he is not marking it when we are not paying attention.

Baby Shower

We had our baby shower last weekend at Rome's Pizza. It was so fun getting to visit with everyone including our friends and family that came in from out of town. Nina and Jennifer co-hosted the shower and did a fantastic job. I think that we are getting closer to being ready for the babies.

Charlie & The Belly

I love this photo. Charlie is laying on my baby belly. Hopefully this means that he and the babies will be great friends when the babies are born.
