it's been a long time!

Sorry it has been so long! I actually forgot about this! Life has been crazy the past few months! Sooo let's see... what has been going on...?
Well, the babies are here and doing great. They are getting so big! I can't believe it will be 6 months in just a couple weeks! Yes that's how long it has been since I updated this thing!

Brian is a chunk! he is 16 pounds and wants to eat anything and everything! He gives us this look when he sees we have food. Like if I could figure this walking thing out, I would sooo come steal that from you! He has also mastered the art of spitting... Yes, on a daily basis, I'm covered in some sort of baby food.... It's wonderful let me tell ya!

Catie, she is like 12 pounds. So small and dainty! She doesn't eat quite as much as Brian but, still likes to eat! She is such a good baby! Happy most of the time! I just wish we could get her to sleep all night! It's getting better though, most of the time we are down to her getting up once a night around 2:30-3:30 then again around 5-6 so not so bad. I'm usually up by then anyway with the little kids I babysit anyway.

I am getting ready to start school again. I've been thru one semester since I've had the babies. Twice a week from 8-10:30, I must say, I was iffy about taking an in seat class, but I actually enjoy the time away! Does that make me a bad mom? I think it is good for Brian to spend some one on one, well, I guess one on two time with the babies... :)

Anyway, Other then them growing like crazy that's pretty much it... I will try to do a better job keeping this updated! Hope everyone is well!
Lots of love!
Brian, Leslie, Catie, & Brian III

37 weeks friday!

Hello everyone! So we had another appointment today. The ultrasound was really tough! She had a really hard time seeing who was who since they are so smooshed! But they still got all 2s on the biophysical profile. They are now estimated to weigh… Catie 6 pounds 6 oz. and Brian 6 pounds 2 oz. So I have almost 13 pounds of baby in me! Holy cow! They did a pretty good job on the heart monitoring this week too once we finally found the heart beats. That only took about 30 minutes usually takes about an hour or longer. I did eat a Twix for breakfast though… And took a couple swigs of Brian's Coke to give them a little caffeine! Maybe that's what woke them up a little bit and got them moving! We are 37 weeks on Friday! "Full Term" they will no longer be considered Preemies!
Dr. Stephens did ask how I felt about inducing today. He said he would do it if we wanted to but usually not before 39 weeks. I like the idea of being in control, but I want them to be able to cook as long as possible! He said we would hit on the issue again at the appointment next Wednesday, if we make it to that point.
He did check me today. I'm only dilated to about 2 cm. But, that's a start I guess… We will see how much longer I can hold out! Other than being really really tired and crampy I feel pretty good. It is hard for me to get up and down anymore but I still think I'm doing pretty good all things considered!
Anyway, that's the update for this week! We'll see if I make it to next Wednesday or if you all get a midnight call from Brian sometime this week! :)
Talk to you later,

Baby Update!

We had another Appointment today. It went well, the babies are growing right on track! Cady is 4 pounds 11 oz and Brian is 4 pounds 7 oz. As of today we have 4 days until they will let me go if I go into labor. I still think I have a couple more weeks in me... I hope! They don't want to move as much as before. I think it is just because they really are out of room! I have 9 pounds of baby in me!
Other than the appointment, I think we have been everywhere looking for a changing table that will fit our needs. I want something with doors and storage. You wouldn't think that would be so much to ask for! Wrong! Brian found one online that we both like, but it costs more than I really wanted to spend. But I think we will probably just break down and spend the extra money and get what we want.
There really isn't much going on. I'm not in school right now so I don't have that taking up my time. Mom came up last weekend and we organized my kitchen and it is amazing! We have a whole cabinet cleaned out for bottles, baby food, and what ever else baby we need in the kitchen! All i have to do now is clean the floor in there and it is done. There is random baby stuff through out the living room. I just don't know where to put some of it!
Anyway, that's really all that's going on. My goal is to get some of the shower pictures up either tonight or tomorrow maybe. But there are no promises! :) Hope everyone is doing well! Have a great night :) Leslie (:
