It is coming along...

don't mind all the cords, Zach is putting a small tv up in the corner.

thanks to aunt rachel and aunt whitney we got some really cute decorations for the room. We will be getting a futon to put in there so one of us can sleep in the room with the babies if we need to. the nursery is coming along slowly but it will get there.

My Trip to Utah

I had my monthly check up this week and everything is going so well with my pregnancy. She said she is very happy with my progress, no swelling, great blood pressure and no diabetes. So far nothing is off limits, but i still need to take it easy, which I do and that is hard sometimes because I am starting to nest and I get so tired doing things. Zach is doing good. He is working hard at Lowes and likes it. He is getting anxious for the babies to get here. Only 10 or less weeks left! This is Riley, she has now turned from head down to butt down. She is sitting on my cervix.
This is Kayden and those legs in the picture are his sisters. Space is getting cramped in there and they are constantly competing for space.
Things are getting a lot heavier in there. I can't stand for too long because it is so uncomfortable but sitting is hard too because Kayden is right under my ribs. So I am always uncomfortable.

I had my baby shower October 11 in Utah. It was really nice to see all my family for a couple of days. I did fly down there which is better than driving but flying when pregnant is soooo uncomfortable!! I also got to see my very cute 8 month old nephew Nixon and my very cute 10 month old sister in law Scout (zachs half sister).

Nixon loved his little bit of pizza!

The Babies at 22wks

Today we had our 22wk ultrasound. Everything is looking great. The babies are growing beautifully and weigh 1 pound each. I feel them kicking all the time. The girl is head down in my pelvis with her feet up and the boy is streched across my belly so they are in a t-shape. Riley kicks kayden and shoves her butt in his stomach and face, it is pretty funny to see.


This is Riley our little girl. She somewhat cooperated this time.
This is Kayden. He still did not like getting his picture taken.

As the tech was trying to get a picture of the boy our little girl decides she wants in also. If you look you can see her butt come into the picture. So she is invading Kaydens space right now.

We painted the nursery

As the babies are growing I get tired doing most things so we decided to paint the nursery. We did one wall pink (for the girl) the other green (for the boy) I turned out pretty good, it will look better once we get furniture in there.



Luckily we had friends that helped us so it did not take too long.

I am getting a little more uncomfortable as the days go by. I usually spend my days at home unless I need to go to the store. I get really dizzy so it is better to be at home when it happens. Everything is going well.

We had our first appointment with the prenatal specialist ( i am high risk because of twins). We were there forever. She drew a detailed picture of our family history! Luckily we are both healthy and have healthy families. The Dr. said everything looked great. I am healthy they are healthy. Both babies are positioned great they have their own sac and placenta. They are only measuring 1 day apart(the girl in the lead). I will be induced if they don't come before 38 wks but she said she would be surprised if i made it that far, more likely 35-36 wks. The only thing they are watching right now is my weight. They want me to gain 40-50 pounds and I have only gained 4 1/2. So I was given permission to sit on my butt and eat. Nothing is off limits although healthy high calorie foods are the best.



This is our little girl. She did not want to cooperate today. She curled into a tight c shape. Her head is down and her chin is tucked into her chest.
Here is our little boy. He stuck his arm right in front of his face when she took the picture.
I know it is hard to tell but those are four little feet. The big blob on the left is the placenta of the boy.

Well I am just about half way there. 18 wks! Time is really flying by. My shirts are not fitting well anymore. Zach is getting more excited now that i am really starting to show. He can't wait until he can feel them move.




We were at the mall and saw these and had to get one for each. They look a little big but fit 0-3 months so they will fit well soon enough. This is our first purchase for the twins.
