36 Weeks!!!!

I can not believe that I have made it this far!!  Some one pinch me because it feels like this is all a dream!  I had a Doctors appointment on Thursday and I'm now dilated to a 3 and still 80% thinned.  We have an official induction date and time!  Thursday March 3 at 6am!!  The Doctor said again that she doesn't think that I will make it that long but I have a feeling that these babies aren't going anywhere!  No matter what we will be meeting our little guys in less than a week!!!

35 Weeks!!!

Yesterday I had my 35 week Doctor's appointment!   Both babies are still head down and they are both weighing in at about 5 1/2 lbs each.  The Doctor checked me and I am 1 cm dilated and 80% effaced.   She said they can come any time now and if they don't come by next Thursday she will schedule an induction.  I can't believe that in less than two weeks we will get to meet our little guys! 

I also have a pinched Sciatic Nerve which is making it really hard to walk and get around :-(   Today was my last day at work and I was hoping to get a lot of things done around the house and run some errands in the next week.  Right now that is not looking so good and this nesting instinct is killing me.  So I'm praying that the pain will go away soon so I can get some things done!  I can't really complain to much though I feel so blessed to have made it so far with no bed rest!

34 Weeks!!!

WOW, REALLY!!!  I can't believe it.  In three weeks or less we will be meeting our little guys!  At my last Doctors appointment on Monday the 31st the Doctor did the last Fetal fibronectin and it came back negative so that gets me to Monday February 14th.  After that the boys could come at anytime!  My next Doctors appointment is February 17th and I can't wait.  They will do a sonogram and we will be able to see if both little guys are still head down.  They have really been kicking up a storm lately and I can tell they are getting a lot stronger.  My belly is getting HUGE!!  I'm so excited and I promise to keep up with posting any news!

31 Week Update!!

I had a Doctor’s appointment on Monday that went great.  We got to see a sonogram of the boys and they are both looking healthy as ever!  And the CRAZY thing is that they are both head down!!  So that means that I have a very good chance of delivering naturally!  This whole time I had just assumed that I would have to have a C-section and now it’s looking like it could go the other way.  CRAZY!!!  The Doc also did her regular check of my cervix and said that is was still thick but getting soft.  She said that if I make it to the last week in February she will schedule an induction on March 3rd!!  BUT… she also said that she doesn’t think I will make it till then.  She wants me to make it to 34 weeks and thinks I will, but she doesn’t think I will make it all the way to 37 weeks.   It is getting so close and I can’t believe it!  I feel like the luckiest girl in the world!!

Our First Shower!!!

Our first shower was this weekend and it was amazing!! Even though a big snow storm decided to come at the exact time of the shower some great family and friends where still able to make it out and we had a great time. The shower was hosted by two of Matt’s Aunts, one Great Aunt, and one of his Cousin’s. They did such a great job on all the food and decorations and everything was better than I could have ever dreamed it would be!

Some days I still can't believe I'm pregnant. Yes, it's getting harder to deny with my huge belly and swollen feet, but there are moments when I just can't fathom how very lucky I am. I had one of those moments during my baby shower this weekend...when I asked myself "is this really happening? How did I get so lucky?"

Rhett and Ryder are already spoiled!! In case you didn’t already know those are the official names. We are still deciding on middle names though! Our family and friends are so generous and gave us the loveliest gifts for our boys. I feel so blessed and so honored to have such amazing people in their lives!

I can’t seem to find the cord to my camera to download all the pictures but as soon as I do I promise to post them all! For now here is a picture that Matt took with his phone of the cutest cake in the world!!

Happy New Year!!

After one crazy year, 2010 certainly ended better than I could have ever expected! After waiting more than four years, and despite some really scary odds, I am finally pregnant. Some days I still can't even believe it. It's just too good to be true. I love my little guys so much it hurts and although I am very excited to meet them, I hope they wait about eight more weeks to make their appearance!


I hope you all had lovely holidays and for those of you still waiting for your babies, I think about you all the time and hope 2011 makes all your wishes come true.

Crib Talk

I just wanted to share what a great deal we got on our cribs!!  After much research and internet surfing we settled on the Graco Lauren crib.  It received great reviews for safety & durability!  It is sold at Babies R Us, Target and Wal-Mart, and of course Wal-Mart had the best deal!  I was able to get both the crib and mattress for the bargain price of $145!  Of course times that by 2 and add tax and it came to just around $300 for both!  If you compare that to Pottery Barn's Kendall Crib which looks almost exactly the same and sells for $500 for just the crib and we saved over $700
