Well, these are not my babies... but they sure are cute hu? (I stole them off of a twin mom blog I stock... so if you know these babies don't tell K?) We are not there yet and neither I or they are ready. I did have a Dr.'s visit today and he checked me and said that my cervix is still high and closed! Yeah :) But then he did decide to go ahead and give me steroid shots, just in case, to help their lungs develop. I also did a non-stress test (NST) today and they were doing great. Little guy was sleeping so the Dr. had to come in and wake him up so that he would move around and they could get an accurate reading. I have to get another shot tomorrow and then have an ultrasound on Friday. I can't complain too much about seeing these little ones once per week from now on can I?
I have two "mother's helpers" here for a while. They are girls that I use to watch a lot when I was in college (Rylie and Camryn for those of you who remember them) they are 12 and 14 now... can you believe it? Anyway so I am so grateful that they can play with my boys! They are so stir crazy :)
Now that it is getting closer my anxiety is coming back a little bit- like when I first found out and wondered how I was going to manage, I am wondering that all again. I can tell myself that we will take it one day at a time but all the telling in the world isn't really helping right now. I just hope that I am building it up in my mind for now so that when they come I can say- oh this isn't so bad :) I read a poem today (another twin mom blog stocking find) that helped me feel a little bit better today:
Twins
Special delivery, special pair
two little infants left in your care.
It won't be easy this great big task
God thought you were the one He would ask.
To guide and rear two at the same time
through fights and mishaps and lots of grime.
He will give you strength for the longest day
and He will always be there to show you the way.
Though times you will feel that you are alone,
There are a lot of twins mothers who have two that are grown
So with this in mind that others have survived the test
You'll thank God for your double blessing and do your best.
I guess this just brought me a little peace because if there is someone who I can count on it is God right? He will help me an be there for me. I do know that this is true! Besides, at least it isn't triplets right? I mean I DO have 2 hands :)

I have a cousin who is our age and has 9 kids. Her oldest will be 12 at the end of this year. We've been pregnant together a couple of times now and she tells me that she goes around singing, "I will go, I will do..." from the Primary song "Nephi's Courage." It helps her through the challenging times. I've had to use that one a few times myself! :)
Glad your body seems to be cooperating and keeping those little ones in there for now. I have high risk pregnancies and it is so stressful at the end--with all the appointments, NSTs, etc. Having twins might seem like a break after all the stress of the last few weeks of pregnancy!
I remember those girls! I can't believe they are 12 and 14. yikes, that makes me feel old!
Watching T.J. and Jill with theirs I know it is a challenge, but I see the joy as well! You are up for the challenge. I offer my help when you need it!!
Dude! You are almost there! Yea!
You will be a great twin mommy.
