Waiting...

Waiting for these little guys to want to make an appearance. Last doctor appointment I was 2-3 cm dilated, with the boys measuring nearly 6 pounds a piece!! They are huge! Stella comes on Thursday to help us till the babies are born. Yay! We are so happy to have her here. Meanwhile, we just wait!

Andrew got to go to his first NFL football game with Daddy! Eric said he didn't stop cheering or dancing around the whole time. Such a great night for Andrew and Eric!




One of Andrew's favorite parts was the big pretzel!

Our First Grader!!!

The first day of First Grade!! Andrew was so excited to start a new school and didn't seem nervous at all (unlike his Mom). His bus was scheduled to come at 8:42 and he was dressed with his backpack on by 8:15...just waiting. :) It is very hard to transition to the "regular" parent and not the teacher parent where I know everything there is about his school and the people that are there. But I guess that is what most parents do, blindly trusting others to watch out for their kiddos. Quite a leap of faith on my part. I had always assumed I would be right down the hall teaching while he was in school. He told me last night, "Don't worry, Mommy. I will be fine." And I know he will be. Unfortunately, we waited and waited for the bus...that never came. So we had to hop in the car and make the 5 minute trip to school. He got there just in time. Hoping it comes tomorrow!




He made it!

A Little Bump in the Road

We went to the doctor on Friday and the boys are doing well. They have plenty of fluid and their heartrates were great. However, they are both about as breech as can be at this point. I had mentioned that I had been having some contractions so Dr. Menges thought it would be wise to check and see if these contractions were doing anything. Well it turns out that I was 1.5 cm dilated and 60% effaced. She recommended at this point it would be a good idea to get steriod shots for the boys' lungs in case they came early. I got one shot at the office and then I would have to give myself an injection 24 hours later. I am not much for needles but really had to get over that in order for the babies to get what they needed. All about mind of matter to get this needle in my hip! Haha!

I had some pretty consistent contractions Friday night but they have slowed down. So I am just trying to rest as much as possible and take it day by day. We go back to the dr. on Friday so we shall see what she says. Say a prayer that these little guys can stay in till 35 weeks!
