A few Random things

*I jinxed myself by telling the blog world that I didn't have stretch marks. They really just appeared overnight one night. So depressing. I was so close!!
I'm thinking of trying Elastin3.


Has anyone ever heard of it or used it? Or have any advice of good stretch mark creams?


*Apparently being hugely pregnant is a big conversation starter. I haven't gone one place in the last month that someone hasn't commented on or rubbed my belly. Seriously...EVERY SINGLE PLACE I go. It makes me laugh what some people come up with or feel comfortable asking a stranger. I honestly have never ever had the desire to walk up to a pregnant stranger & touch her belly. Most of the time it really doesn't bother me that much, it's just funny to me how forward some people are.
I've had 2 people in the last week ask how many babies are in there. Good thing I actually have more than one in there or else I might have hit them in the face! ;)
Clearly I'm getting really big, but why would you ever ask someone that?!


*My doctor wanted me to stop working at 34 weeks, so I finished out the month of February & then quit. I've been not working for a week now & I'm starting to go crazy. There are so many things I want to get done around my house but it's hard to find the energy. I figure I should try to get as much sleep as possible while I can but that isn't working out so well either.
Nights are miserable. It's hard to get comfortable & then I finally do but I'm up every hour to go to the bathroom so it starts all over again. I'm usually more comfortable on the couch then in my bed so sometimes I end up sleeping on the couch. Taking a nap during the day usually makes it harder to sleep at night, but these days I don't even care anymore. I sleep when I can. And I figure that's how it will be when the twins are here anyway.
Ok, I'm done complaining now! :)


*Jeff's basketball team played in the championship game last week.
It was such a close game the whole time. We were winning by 5 with 40 seconds left but the other team came back & tied it and then won in overtime. It was sad, but a fun game to watch.





*
Last weekend we went to a movie at the mall with Mike. While we were waiting for the movie to start we had to try out this Hurricane Simulator that was right outside the theater. You get inside and then it blows 78 mph winds at you.

Everyone that was walking past stopped to watch.


*We had a doctor's appointment yesterday & got some great news! :)
He talked to the Perinatologist & she told him she wants me to deliver at 37 weeks!
So Wednesday, March 16th will be the day!!
One week!
I think this is going to be the longest week of my life! ;)

German Babies

Saskia's parents are so sweet & sent these cute little outfits for the twins so "they can be German babies for a day!" :)


Her mom & grandma also made these cute little socks.
Love them!

We're in the TWO's

Two weeks & 4 days left! So soon, yet I am feeling like it will never be here.
At our OB appointment this week I measured 40 cm and have gained 35 pounds total.
Dr. Cherrington told me to go straight to the hospital if/when I go into labor & he will come do the c-section. He doesn't seem to think I will make it to 38 weeks. Only because he has rarely had twins make it that far. But I'm sure I will because I'm so ready to be done right now! ;)
Our non-stress tests have been going well and we had our last ultrasound this week.
The babies estimated weights are....
Baby A...4lbs 12oz.
Baby B...5lbs 13oz.
No wonder my whole body hurts! I have almost 11 pounds of baby inside me! :)
Even though I'm so uncomfortable and so ready to meet my baby girls, I really am going to miss feeling them inside me. I love feeling them move around and seeing little baby body parts poking out of my stomach. :)

Here are a few pictures of our girls at 35 weeks.

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! :)
