Week 33

This past week has been a busy one! David and I have been trying to get as much done as possible before the twins arrive. Hopefully we have another month or so but you just never know! Our list of things to do is down to about half of it's original size! But I keep slipping crazy things in there! For example, I had a little mother nesting attack and moved all of the cleaning supplies so that the kids couldn't get into them! Now unless my babies are miracles and come out crawling/walking we have a long way until we reach that point but I couldn't help myself. David, being the great husband he is, then installed cabinet and drawer latches in the kitchen. I feel much better now! In fact, I feel pretty great but sleep is getting tougher and tougher. And I must admit I still take my daily afternoon nap!

We've also been attending classes to get all of the pointers we can. A few weeks ago I attended The Happiest Baby on the Block class and this past week we checked out the video so that David was in on the loop too! I also attended a breast feeding class on base. This past Saturday we attended a Prepared Birth Class offered by the local hospital. It seemed like a really great idea but we were pretty stressed/grossed out when we left after hearing about all the things that could happen, seeing all of the instruments and watching a vaginal and cesarean birth on tv! I told David I think they need to come up with a 3rd option because I don't think I like either of those! Speaking of...

Our sweet babies will be here no later than August 31 (39 weeks and 2 days!) My doctor has said that I will most likely be having a c-section because of the babies positioning. Baby boy is vertex/head down and baby girl is breech/feet down. So unless she turns we don't have the option of a vaginal birth due to all of the complications that could occur. The chances of her turning are getting less and less everyday as they both grow and room in my belly is harder and harder to find. We have no plans to take the babies early, we want them to spend as much time "in the oven" as they need! However, once I begin labor I am to head straight to the hospital so the c-section can begin.


We can't forgot our 4 legged kids!
I made these little pants for our girl from a pants pattern that I was testing for a friend (she created the pattern). It's an old t-shirt and a little bit of sewing! Pretty cute I must say! And so easy! I think I may make more!

  2. Keep your hopes up about the baby turning...Joe was flipping around a week or two before I gave birth to mine, although he was B, and Lucy was so low...but keep your hopes up!
