A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

34 Weeks!

Twin Stats:
Baby A - Boy: 4 lbs 12 oz
Baby B - Girl: 4 lbs 10 oz
Both are measuring at about 32.5 weeks.
Can you believe it? Almost 10 lbs of babies inside me! No wonder I'm starting to feel way too pregnant!

The most exciting thing today was... They have hair and a TON of it! You could see it sticking up in the ultrasound so clearly. The ultrasound tech said, "Wow, that's a lot of hair! Usually it's only just starting to grow at 34 weeks!". So neat! Especially for baby girls hair bows!!

Today we had our specialIst appt with the perinatalogist. He says I deserve a gold star for taking such good care of my babies! Babies are looking Wonderful and he is super pleased with how close their weights are. All their stats are in perfect range! My sugars are looking super AND even with all my leg swelling my blood pressure is good! Cervix is way short but that's too be expected at this point. He checked my legs real good as my left leg has quite a bit more swelling than my right which can be a sign of a blood clot but he saw nothing that concerned him. He thinks that the babies are causing it and at 34 weeks I'm lucky to just start swelling now! So as of now our due date is still February 17th. But as he says anything can change in 3 weeks especially with twins!

This week I've definitely started to feel VERY pregnant! My stomach is so sore and stretched and there are a ton of new stretch marks around my belly button :(
My left foot has started swelling very severely like balloons up if I don't keep it elevated. When I stand it's like a matter of 15 minutes and it is double the size.
I think I'm having Braxton hicks, not regularly. But boy do they hurt!
This is silly but my stomach is so sore that it hurts to climb into bed at night.

I can't believe that I am now 34 weeks! I am so lucky that I just now have started to experience swelling! I have been so blessed this pregnancy! I also can't believe that the babies could make their entrance into this world from today until February 17th! In as little as 1 day OR at most 3 weeks they will be in my arms! Yikes!
