My Blog

Thanks for stopping by! I use to blog to "keep in touch," I use to blog to brag, I use to blog for an outlet. I have now realized I blog because these are the things I want my children to know/remember about our life together as a family. These days won't stop passing, but having a record of it when it is all a memory will be priceless to me.
I read your blog because I love you!

36 Weeks!

I can't believe I made it to 36 weeks without any complications! Pain, anguish, anxiety, exhaustion, and pure frustration yes but any major complications no! My Dr. got really excited on Monday when he said "Your gonna make it to 36 weeks!" And yes, yes we did. In fact I had been having quite a few contractions everyday but they have pretty much stopped so I am fairly confident I will make it to 37 which was my goal all along. If I hit 37 weeks then don't be surprised if you see me walking the neighborhood. I may have to have a cane with me but I am sure that I will grit my teeth and do anything I can to get these babies moving :) So the following picture is a singleton pregnant woman at 36 weeks.
This one is of twins... see the difference? (besides there being 2 babies in there) um... yeah! I went to a ward party yesterday and our old bishop came up to me and said "you look like you are the most uncomfortable person here." My reply? "I probably am!" Although 1 baby is uncomfortable and 2 is just down right painful. I am not complaining, just stating how it is! I am excited to meet these little ones! As long as they get here healthy it is all worth it and as most of us moms know- we forget!

Wow-- you're a trooper!! Doesn't it make you wonder how those with 3+ babies do it? Ahhhhhhhhh!! I'm so excited to meet the little guys. Hang in there!!

I'm with Kendra, you're amazing.
I think it's wonderful these kids get to be inside you for so long.
It's the best thing for them and it's just fantastic that you haven't threatened any doctor to induce you.
You deserve some kinda medal.
I guess two healthy, cute babies will be medal enough.

You're amazing, and I don't hear complaining, I hear reality. Congratulations on making it this far, they'll be here before you know it... and then what?

Pregnancy was always harder for me than newborns, but then I've never had two. You're in my prayers.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and making it to 37 weeks with no bedrest!

Thanks for the tip on the shaving cream. I knew there had to be away to get food coloring out of stuff. I have a few spots I am going to go work on now!
