32 Weeks!

32 Weeks! Today I had my 4th and final baby shower with my "friends." Lori hosted it at her place. It was a great party, with LOTS of good food. It started at 1pm, and I didn't get home til 7:45... A couple of us girls just hung out and chatted for awhile. I had a good week this past week. It was much better than the week before that is for sure. Still a sore back, but by the look of how far my belly sticks out I don't blame my back for "barking" at me :) I have a lot of things to wash and get into order now the next couple of weeks.

My mom and sister are coming up to the cities the weekend of the 7th to help me Nest.

Visiting Hours Due to H1N1

Hi Kids,
You are coming into this world at a great time but there is this flu bug out there called the Swine Flu or H1N1 Virus. It will affect who all gets to come and see you in the hospital but it is for our safety :)

Here is the message from the Hospital:

For the health and safety of patients, Allina Hospitals & Clinics has placed limits on visitation to birth centers and pediatrics units. Effective immediately, these limitations are:
*Visiting hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
*Visitors must sign in and be screened for influenza-like illness
*Sibling visitors must be age 5 or older
*Non-sibling visitors must be age 16 or older
*Maximum of three visitors per patient at a time
*Visitors are asked to follow hand-hygiene procedures by washing hands or using the antibacterial foam provided throughout the hospital.

We are coming up on 32 weeks now! I am feeling much better this week. Last week was not the best for me. We have our last baby shower this weekend with my friends. Can't wait. We have some much fun stuff for you guys when you come out.

Touring the Birth Center Tonight

Hi Kids,

Tonight your dad and I are going to the hospital to tour the birth center at Abbott Northwestern. Should be fun! I have some anxiety about it but that is normal. Here are some pics off their website. FYI, your nursery at HOME is much more "cozy"... let's hope and pray we are only in the hospital for a couple days...

FYI, sorry about my lunch selection today. Chili sounded good..but I didn't realize it was going to be so spicy. Topping it off with a diet mt. dew probably didn't help. I hope the water, bread, and prenatal vitamin helped level things off for you in there.

Love,

Mom.

30 week check up

Well today I had an Ultrasound and an appt with my Dr. Adam didn't come to this one. The ultrasounds are kind of getting OLD…normal pregnancies only have about 2..and we have had triple that or more…

Boy: Weighing in at roughly 3 lbs 7 oz. with a large head compared to statistical research on 30 week babies.
Girl: Weighing in at roughly 2 lbs 15 oz..almost 3 lbs! Girl is also already showing some hair :)
Mom's Belly: Measuring the same size as a full term pregnant women of 1 baby :)

I am starting to slow down that is for sure, but still holding up. Cervix looks good so we are good to go there. They will monitor the growth to make sure they are both growing from now on, but they are right on track and "good size" TWINS per my Doctor. With the boy still being Breech and a "Larger" than normal head C-Section is more than likely going to happen for sure now.

**Note the picture is of the baby boy. The little girl didn't want to cooperate today. It is hard to get good "shots" of them now since they are so much bigger and moving a lot more!

30 week/Baby shower #2

Well, we are getting closer... 30 weeks. I go to the Dr. this Tuesday for an appt. and Ultrasound to check the growth. I am pretty sure by the kicking...they are doing just fine in there. This weekend I headed down to Rochester Saturday morning for a baby shower hosted by my side of the family. It was a GREAT turnout, and I got a TON of Gifts. It sure feels nice to have so many nice friends and family there for me :)

I stayed in Rochester Saturday night. We went to my Favorite Pizza place Mr. Pizza for supper. Then my mom and I went back home and watched "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" down in the basement snuggled up in recliners. I slept really well that night right next to my mamma. Even at the age of 28, I still sleep with my mom when her HUBBY is gone :)

Diaper Bag

Well I have purchased a diaper bag finally. I really wanted to get one that I LIKED. I know I will have to buy a 2nd one, too. I think I might get it more "boy" oriented so Adam can feel comfortable carrying it. :) But this one is for me! I love it and it is coming in the mail on Friday.

29 Week

Well Twins, your mom made it through Auntie Lori's wedding this weekend. I had it on my mind for a long time now. People were telling horror stories of how I will probably be on Bed Rest by then etc. I didn't listen to them but they still made me nervous. Thank god Mary is the QUEEN at altering dresses, too. She did a perfect job making this dress fit around my "Belly."..

Wedding was great and it couldn't of been anymore perfect than it was. I will post some more pics of the wedding later on.
