Utah Grizzlies Game

Mike had 2 tickets to the Utah Grizzlies Hockey game on Saturday that he wasn't going to use, so he gave them to Jeff & me.
I had never been to a hockey game before in my life & didn't know any of the rules of the game, so Jeff had to explain it all to me.

We were sitting in the very front row. It was fun to be so close to all the action but I jumped every time the players hit the glass in front of us.



I don't really feel like going places much these days, but it was fun to get out & do something.
Thanks for the tickets Mike!

33 Weeks

We had an OB appointment yesterday & they tell me that the babies are doing great & I'm doing great & to keep hanging in there.
I'm measuring 36 cm now & gained 3 more pounds.
I'm feeling huge!
But good news....I still have ZERO stretch marks! :)

Today was non-stress test #2.
Last week I was there for over an hour because the babies did not want to cooperate.
Apparently they don't like having the monitors on my stomach & think it's fun to kick them off every few minutes!
Today they were a little more cooperative, but not much.
I think we are going to have our hands full with these two!
Less than 5 weeks to go. I'm counting down the days! :)

Valentine Date

Since we are having twins in a couple weeks & figure they won't be very cheap, we had our Valentine's date at home to save a little money.
My man got me some pretty flowers & I made his favorite dinner.

I'm so beyond excited to start this new chapter in our lives, but lately I've been feeling a little sad that it's not going to be just Jeff & me anymore. (Kinda dumb, I know.) So it was fun to spend some time together tonight, even just hanging out at home. I feel so lucky to have Jeff as my forever Valentine & to be able to spend many many more Valentine's Days together! :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

I LOVE Valentine's Day!
Really I just love all holidays. I love having something to celebrate!
I'm so excited to be able to do fun holiday activities with the twins!
I had fun making these Valentine treats this weekend.
The white ones didn't turn out so cute but I still had fun making them.
Jeff had a basketball game tonight so we don't get to have our Valentine's date until tomorrow night.
But my mom brought a pretty red rose to me at work!

I have the cutest mom! :)

Picture of the Day

I saw this idea on a friends blog & want to try it out.
She started at the beginning of the year taking a picture each day to blog about.
I think it sounds like a fun idea & a good way to keep up on blogging about the things we are doing.
I can't promise I will be great at it, but I will REALLY try!!
So day 1!
Maggie painted this picture for us.
Don't you love how they have different colored hair?!
I think she's more excited about the twins than anyone! ;)

Baby Shower

Last Saturday Caitlin, Brittany & Joy threw me a baby shower!
Isn't this the cutest invitation you've ever seen?!
I'm in love with it! :)

(front)



(back)


Right when you walked in the door, there was a candy bar with pink
Starbursts,
Sweet Tarts,
Sour Patch Watermelons
& some other yummy candy with little bags for everyone to take some home with them.
Also on that table was a guessing game. There were 3 little jars with stuff in them & whoever guessed closest to the right amount won a prize.
(I wish I had a picture of the table, but I didn't get one.)

Caitlin thinks it's so funny that wherever we go people always ask me the same questions over & over! So she came up with a brilliant idea!
These were on the front table also so that I wouldn't have to answer the same questions a million times!

And I got lots of great advice! :)

Here is the food table.
We had chicken salad sandwiches, fruit, salad, crackers & dip and some yummy cupcakes!



We played a Memory game with all things "baby" related. When you got a match you won a prize that corresponded to the match you got.
For example, the prize for "umbilical cord" was Twizzlers Pull n' Peel.
It was such a cute game!

I wish I had gotten pictures with everyone who came.
I should have been more on top of that.






Present time!!





















Jeff's aunt Claire made these way cute quilts for the twins.
She has made a quilt for every one of the Sonnenberg great-grandchildren. That's 49 so far!
I absolutely love them!!


My friend, Cassie made this awesome diaper cake!
It had lots of goodies in it like lotion, baby powder, baby oil, wash rags, bottles, binkis, bibs & more that I can't remember right this second!


Everyone was so nice & we got some really great things!


Joy, Caitlin & me.
I'm sad we didn't get a picture before Brittany left :(
They went to so much work to put this together for me & I am so grateful for all they did!! It was perfect!


We feel so so grateful for all the love & support from our friends & family!
These are two lucky little girls! :) We can't wait to meet them!

31 Weeks

Better late than never right?
Our computer hasn't been working for a couple weeks & that is why I am so behind.
We really haven't been up to much lately. Jeff's been sick for almost 2 weeks now and just kept getting worse. So we finally went to the doctor today & they gave him 2 prescriptions & want him to take 2 over the counter medications also. So hopefully he will be feeling much better in the next few days.
We had 2 baby appointments last week. The OB appointment was first & I am measuring at 34 cm & have gained a total of 30 pounds! I've heard the end of the pregnancy is when the most weight is gained, so I'm a little afraid! ;) Dr. Cherrington said that if everything keeps going as well as it is now, we will plan to schedule a C-Section for March 22nd! That's 6 weeks from today!! Can you believe that?! I can't! It has really gone by so fast!
We had an ultrasound at the Perinatologist on Wednesday & they say everything is still looking great! They measured the babies & Baby A is weighing in at 3 lbs. 2 oz. Baby B weighs 3 lbs. 14 oz. I was a little worried that there is such a difference in their weight, but the doctor assured us there is nothing to worry about. She said it's normal for them to be 2 to 3 weeks apart in size & our girls aren't even a week apart. They are both head down still & I am feeling all 4 little feet in my ribs a lot these days. We got a couple pictures of them, but no profiles this time.
We got an arm,
a foot,
and the tops of both little heads.

We start our weekly non-stress tests tomorrow where they will monitor the babies heart rates & contractions. Hopefully everything still looks good!
