At the week 30 appointment, the doctor changed our due date to May 10th! I will be a MOM for Mother's Day this year. The past few Mother's Day have been very hard, always feeling like I'd never get to this point. This year I will be holding the two best gifts EVER- my children!!!
Grammy got to hear the heartbeats and all looked well.
With Daddy out of town this week, we spent a lot of time with Grammy. She did a lot to help get ready for you guys. She is wiped out and needs a week off!
Daddy sent us a package of sourdough cheese wheels from Mommy's favorite bakery in San Fran. ALong with a flower he picked on his run that morning. That was very sweet. Daddy is not usually a romantic like that, so it made Mommy feel very special. You are so lucky to have him for a Daddy.
So you guys will be here in 6 weeks!!!!! Everyone can't wait to meet you.

Week 30-- Home Alone
Daddy left for San Francisco on Saturday. I don't think it was the right decision since we are 30 weeks 2 days into a twin pregnancy, but it is done now. I had a long talk with the babies and told them that I did not want to bring them into the world without their Daddy by my side, so they need to behave for a week. I'm sure they will cooperate, they have been perfect thus far.
I feel bigger and bigger everyday. I can do less and less each day, getting tired very easily. It will all go away as soon as I see these little faces.
Grammy is going to watch out for us this week so we will be fine and Daddy will bring you back lots of treats from San Francisco.
We got for a check up on Wednesday and Grammy will go with us so she can hear your heartbeats!

Shower--March 18
Oh my gosh! Totally overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and gifts from our friends and family! We need a bigger house.
The shower was wonderful.... Mike and Amy did such a good job with the favors, they were a big hit. Mary, Kathy, and my mom planned a couple of games and everything looked so nice.
The cake was yummy, I wish there was more leftover!
Daddy and I went through everything on Sunday night and started washing clothes and putting stuff away. It will be a long process, but we are ready for the babies.
It was an exhausting day, emotionally and physically, but so worth it!
One really special shower gift..... Last Friday my mom came over with a card that had money in it for the babies cribs and dressers. She wrote in the card the story of where the money came from...... Before my Dad was diagnosed with colon cancer, he loved beer and good cigars. Once he was going through all the treatments, he couldn't enjoy the beer or cigars anymore so he started saving the money he would have been spending on them. One day when he was pretty sick, there was a tornado warning and my parents were going to go down to the basement for a while and he told my mom she needed to get his "other wallet." I guess in the course of 4 years he had put his "fun" money in that wallet and she didn't know anything about it. He never got to spend it. Over the past 6 years, neither could she, so she said spending it on the grandbabies would be what he would have wanted, so that is where their cribs are coming from; their grandpa. I'm so glad she didn't give me that gift at the shower!

Week 28 Ultrasound--Grammy Meets the Babies
Got to check in on the babies on Friday. They each weigh about 2 lbs 5 ozs and look good.
Grammy came along to "meet" the babies and she was so happy to see them. They were wiggling around the whole time.

week 27
(pics from week 24 U/S)
I feel the babies moving a lot now. I can tell who is who. Baby Boy is more close to my belly button and Baby Girl (if she is still a she.....she wouldn't cooperate at the last u/s!) is underneath him. I feel her movements more lower and to the right.
We passed the gestational diabetes test during week 26, but they found that I am severly anemic so I started iron pills. They give me awful heartburn, but are supposed to help with the extreme tiredness I feel.
I get tired so fast. I can't do as many errands as I could a month ago. After a day of running around, I feel like I've been run over. Hard to move, muscles sore. That is OK, there is not much longer to go.
I'm stressed about getting their stuff in order before they arrive. I can't do the things I'd like to do and it is hard for me to depend on others to do it.
The babies names right now are Nolan George and Regan Bryn. We'll see if that is what they really end up being!
We are having the OB tour on Sunday, I am nervous about that. I'm just nervous about having surgery, but it is the only way for me to get my babies.
The shower is coming up quickly, March 18. The babies need so much stuff.
We have another u/s next Friday to check on their growth. Hopefully we'll be able to see them a little better now that they are bigger.
Sometimes I want them here right now, other times I like feeling them inside me. It is all so many different emotions at the same time. You have no idea what it is really like, no matter how hard you try. I just want the best for them and for us to be good parents.
Their friends Joshua and Gabriel were born last week at 33 weeks. They are doing well and I can't wait to meet them. I hope they will grow up being friends.
