So you're telling me I coulda had the candy bar.....

Memorial weekend came and went.
With it we were able to get some yard work done (and by "we" I am referring to the hard efforts of my wife)
We made it to 1 BBQ this weekend. 1 out of 3 aint so bad, right ?
One of the BBQ's was scheduled to be at my next door neighbors house (and by "next door neighbor" I am referring to my house :) She said that everyone would gather at her house and then the kids would all come play at our house. I thanked her for inviting us.
But alas, it was rained out as was the Zoo and any other activities that took place outside on Memorial day.
We took the kids to one of the greatest, indoor back ups here and they had a blast.

The girls !















27 weeks & 3 days. Can you believe it ! I have been patting myself on the back every day for the last 5 days. especially after going to the bathroom where I STILL check for blood.
In 1 week I will have been put down for the remainder of my pregnancy with the first set of boys. I think I am going to do better this time around.
I had a doctors appointment today and Baby A who is now Baby B is back to his head down position but is still considered 2nd in the chute. I believe when he pulled out, his brother kindly took the lead and might not give it back.
I also had my glucose tested today. I'm a little nervous only because I am measuring big and my boys are as well. The drink is actually kind of good. It has a bit of fizz to it now....I don't remember them adding that. Dr. Hottie told me today that now they are letting you eat a king sized snickers before getting the test. ARE YOU KIDDING ME ? I had to have freaking Orange FANTA when I could have had a king sized snickers ! I'm hoping to fail just so that I can eat the snickers bar.

I measure 36 weeks now. My hips are spread so wide with 2 over sized heads pushing them apart that even the slightest movement can throw my back out.
10 1/2 more weeks.
lets all pray for me ! :)

Thanks for sharing some pictures!
You look great and I'm sure you will not be put to bed soon, just let the rest of us pick up more of the slack and we will keep you upright till the end!!

Can you believe the weather today? Would have been perfect for the zoo!!!!!!

If you get put to bed I will come over and sit with you and we can scrapbook together!
Keep on being a good girl and see how long you can go without getting put to bed, K?

You are doing awesome! Truly amazing girl! Holy Shit!
Hey.. Your Nanny looks a little like Drew Barrymore (don't know how to spell that)
Keep up the good work and take it easy...
Glad you had a good weekend!

Stef said...

Jo said...

Please God, be nice to the incubator. I mean, she is doing better than lots of Mormons are here in Utah, so ya need to be nice to her. Amen.

Babykins said...

Pics are so cute. Glad to hear Mom and Babys doing fine. You deserve that King size Snickers!

Stacie said...

Love the pictures as always. Your kids are seriously cute. And Nanny Nicole looks like she could be an aunt or something!

Congrats on making it to 27 weeks. Here is hoping that the second time around is much nicer to you. Bed rest sucks the big one. Enough said. (my type a personality wants to do the twin thing again to "do it right" this time. i know, i am sick in the head. for now i'll just live through you) :-)

And, I am almost done with your present. After all of this, I sure hope you like it!

Nanny Nicole IS young. Somehow I pictured a lighter, more fragile looking girl. She looks sturdy, which is aways helpful when children climb all over on's body.
Sorry you got rained out, but that indoor place is awesome, so I know you had a great time.

YOU are doing great! Just hold 'em in for a little while longer. They are HUGE!

ECand3 said...

Oh yeah - PLEEEEZ go have that Snickers right now!

hotomiky said...

Go ahead and eat your king size snickers! Don't let it stop you! Enjoy!

:o)

They didn't tell me about the snickers bar either! I would have rathar had that then the fruit punch fizz I had! Oh well I will just eat a snickers for the heck of it and you should too.

Glad you are doing so well girl. Keep it up.

Eva said...

Thank you for the updates; it's not like you to go almost a week. What, are you busy or something?

The kids look like they had a blast.

And yay you, 27 weeks & 4 days. Wishing you continued health and mobility.

I'm praying for you - TEN MORE WEEKS! It's amazing how quickly time is passing. Well, probably not for you but it seems like that from here.
The pictures are great - they're all so cute! (including Nanny Nichol)

amy said...

you've got my prayers! the indoor play area definitely looked fun! i can't get over how old the boys look. i guess it's a good thing since they'll have a few baby brothers in 2 short months!

kyky7079 said...

Nanny Nicole is adorable. I am so happy that you have made it this far with those babies!

Merr said...

Sounds like a great weekend! I still can't believe you are pregnant with twins! Time sure does fly when you are not the pregnant one, you know! I can't wait to see those babies!

Jen said...

Sounds like fun was had even if all the plans weren't perfect. BTW your always in my prayers, along with those little ones.

Holly said...

Who woulda thought we'd get better weekend weather than you guys!!?!?!

Love the pictures. Where's your most recent belly pic??

Nanny Nicole looks so innocent. Does she know what she's in for??

Jen Sprayberry said...

The Nanny looks sweet. It's awesome how close you're getting! Can't wait!

Stacey said...

Yay on reaching 27 weeks! You are doing so well, even if your hips are leaving you.

Cute pictures--looks like a good rainy day substitute. :)
