Ho Hum...

32 days to go until 40 weeks! Wow I can't believe I made it this long! Everyone was sure that I would be on bed rest by now. My blood pressure has been good the whole time, and I have gained 26 pounds as of last Wednesday. Still under my 30 pounds that the Doctor said I could gain.

Well, we are still waiting for the top piece of the changing table. The top part of the hutch had the holes drilled wrong so the piece that attached to the front to make it pretty would be on the back. So Brian called and told the people about it. They said they would send a replacement piece. We called JC Penny to check on it and they didn't even see that he had talked to anyone. So after 3 days of working with this guy... They are sending it to our house. So they say. We will see if it gets here in a couple days. Then the room will be good to go!

I got the car seats out of the boxes this weekend and got them all set up and ready to go. They are so cute! :)

Now the only thing that I really want done before the babies get here is the carpet cleaned in the living room. We have a friend's carpet cleaner we just have to move everything out of the living room and do it... Maybe we will try to do that on Wednesday after the doctor appointment...

Anyway, We have another appointment on Wednesday. We will see how that goes, and Thursday is a full moon... We'll see if there is any truth behind that! :) Brian doesn't believe it, but I have been told by many many people there is a whole lot of truth behind it! The 10th of April is the day that I wanted to make it to but I would settle for the 9th! Anyway, that's about it for now. Have a good day! Leslie :)

ugh!

Sooo Tired! I think if I were in bed right now I could sleep for days! Probably not since I don't sleep more than a couple hours at a time as it is but dang it I'd love to try!

My shoes are really really tight today... I'm swelling up pretty good. But it is Wednesday... After today two more days and it's the weekend! Yaa Relax time!

We did order the changing table last night! Should be here Friday after 4:30! So once we get that and get it put together their room is officially ready for them! :)

3 days! Counting today and then they could be here any time! Anyway, my lunch hour is over. I might get pictures up tonight who knows! :)
Have a great day, Leslie :)

So I didn't get to take off on Wednesday like I had planned. And I was sick throwing up on Thursday, so i was home sick and didn't do much of anything, then Friday I took off 1/2 day and got all the polka dots on the wall! I just have a little touching up to do and their room is done! YaY! Then Saturday I got sick again and I have been fighting that ever since! Man it is a killer! I think I either broke or pulled a rib from coughing so hard. It is miserable! And the worst part is you can't take anything! We have another appointment tomorrow I thought I'd talk to them and see if there is any prescription antibiotic that I can take, before I waste the money going to the doctor and they give me something that Dr. Stephens doesn't want me to take. We have made it this far without much of a problem I don't want to start anything up now!
We are in week 32 of the pregnancy now, Hard to believe that in two weeks if I go into labor they won't stop it. Our babies could be here in two weeks! Wow! I'm still going for 36 weeks though!
Our last appointment went pretty well for the most part. The ultrasound went well. Catie was 3 pounds 9 oz and Brian was 3 pounds 7 oz. And got 2s on the biophysical profile. Mom got to go to that one and she was way excited about it. I'm glad she got to go to one. I knew she really wanted to go. Jes is going with us tomorrow.
I did think I was going to pass out during the monitoring though... I guess you could call it a hot flash... The only way I could describe it was, it was like the feeling of the one time I almost passed out giving blood. This instant rush of heat starting at the tip of your head rushing to your toes. It was bad, I couldn't decide if I wanted to throw up or pass out. I hope I don't do that again tomorrow...
Anyway other than working on the finishing touches on the babies room and I have got to clean my house It is the worst I have ever seen it! Just gross! Seriously. But I have been sick and being pregnant makes you tired! Saturday I have my first baby shower. I hope I'm feeling better than I do right now! Maybe Sunday I can bribe my mom into coming up and helping me clean... I don't know what I'll bribe her with. But I'll think of something... Anyway that's pretty much all for now. I'll hopefully find time to post about the appointment tomorrow!
Hope everyone is well have a good night! Leslie :)

YaY

Worked on the babies' room today. Our friends, Brian and Amanda Jenkins came over. Amanda worked on the babies room with me. That's her below working on polka dots.

Brian and Brian worked on the laundry room. Or friend Plato helped out down stairs too. They got the walls painted, The one strip of green on the top and the trim in there where the coating and the dry wall meet up will be the same green. And the trim on the bottom will be green too. I haven't tried my washer and dryer out but I'm way excited about them being in! I might have to go buy the drawer to set them up on because it is really low to the ground. I don't know if I will be able to get in to the washer to get the clothes out... I was having trouble getting them out of the old dryer... But anyway. I can't use them until we get the hooks. We weren't planning on stacking them, but then Brian took down the shelf in there to paint so I figure might as well stack them! Make a little more room in there! I didn't remember that you have to have hooks to make it stable... I'm not sure. Anyway those pictures are below...

So, another freak out moment... We had a doctors appointment today. The babies did very well. We got all 2's on the Bio-physical profile. That's the ultrasound, when they check the breathing, (make sure their chests are moving up and down) The heart is beating, the fluid levels are good, and they are moving. (2 is the highest they can score!) Then, we had the fetal monitoring. We sat in the chair and they are getting big enough, to where when they move they can really only go back to the same spot they were in...

Dr. Stephens said that even though I didn't gain any weight that week, the babies defiantly grew! He said IF we make it 4 more weeks we will be doing good. Holy cow! He really put it in to perspective for me that twins usually come early and in all reality we only have a couple weeks left! HOLY SHIT! I really hope we make it through March! All the showers are in March! We have to have the showers! We don't have anything!

So anyway, I guess that's the info. I'll try to scan the ultrasound pictures and see if they turn out. They really are getting big so you can't really see much... But we will see. If it turns out I'll post them on here.

Anyway, have a good night!

Leslie :)

Ugh!

Ugh! That's all I can say! God is obviously not a woman! If he were a she... She would have made the whole pregnancy thing more fair! Here you carry the kid for have the time and then it's the man's turn! I am so freaking exhausted it is unreal! I'm so tired at night, but as soon as I get into bed I can't sleep. So I drag ass all day because I got maybe 2 hours of sleep the night before. The only time I get decent sleep is on the weekend after Brian gets up to go to work. I don't know, maybe it's him. I can't sleep, so I lay in bed listening to him breathing or snoring some nights... Then my mind gets mad because he can sleep any where any time and I'm exhausted and can't sleep. Ugh! It's not fair!

We have a busy weekend coming up! Actually the next few weekends are going to be busy... This weekend we have Erin and Ethan's reception thing in Vienna, that morning mom is coming up and we are going baby shopping for her gift for us at the shower, and it is the Polar Bear plunge. Brian was actually going to try to get over his fear of water by doing the plunge this year... But he got denied for the day off. Stupid DOC scheduled some training so hardly anyone could get off. He did go Kiyaking last weekend though. I'm pretty proud of him for that! He is getting there... He didn't drown or break a phone, that's a major plus!

After our doctor appointment tomorrow, Brian and his friend Brian, (see there are to many Brians in my life and He wants to bring another one! Another UGH!) Are going to work on the laundry room. Hopefully get that mostly done. He is going to paint it so it doesn't look so funny with the new wall being different. We picked out the paint last night. Hopefully he gets that done so we can get my new washer and dryer in there. I'm not doing any more laundry until I get it in there. I'm out of soap and the HE washers take a different soap.

After this weekend it is MARCH ALREADY! Holy cow! March is the Month of showers! the 14th, my sisters are throwing one, the 20th is my dad's birthday! FYI, and my work people are throwing me a shower, I believe that's the date they set, then that Sunday the 22 is my friends shower. Then somewhere in there Brian's sister Jes is planning one. Whew! Busy month. I just hope I can still walk! It is getting harder and harder. Somewhere in there we have to find room to finish the babies' room so when we get all our great gifts we can put them where they belong instead of just in the basement! So much to do so little time! Anyway, I think that's all I have for now. Will hopefully get more pictures of the babies up soon. Should have some new ones tomorrow! YaY! Have a great day! Leslie :o)
