35 Weeks


Today we had our 35 week appointment!!! Can't believe it's getting so close.  Right now we have tentatively set our c-section date for Oct.24th at 11:30.  We are now going every week to the Doctor.  She told Amanda that she shouldn't work anymore and put her on "couch duty at home with your feet up".  Her feet have gone down some, but after today's outing to the Dr. and a few errands, (which she stayed in the car for I might add) they have put on their tree trunkish halloween costume again.  She has been taking it easy at home. In fact, we are going to try and have one last date night with the two of us before the girls get here tomorrow night.  Amanda has also taken up watching game show network, and loves to tell me all about the new shows that are on now a days when I get home from work. Hilarious.  She also hasn't been sleeping good at all shes going to try an ambien, yes ambien. I've heard some crazy stories from my coworkers about sleep walking and night eating with this so I'm anxious to see how she does.  Our next and final ultrasound is in 2 weeks. Cross your fingers those little ladies stay in til then!

33 Weeks and counting

19 Weeks
24 Weeks


33 Weeks


We've made it to 33 weeks folks.  So exciting and can't wait! Amanda hasn't had any contractions yet and is taking it easy.  The feet......well the feet are ginormous puffy.  Shes says they don't hurt at all, just big. She is the most pleasant pregnant person to be around.  She hasn't had any mood swings or melt downs at all.  I know she's miserable, but she won't admit it.  I guess when you've wanted something for so long like we have, you'll love every minute of it.  The babies are now moving about as they wish, usually right when Amanda is trying to fall asleep at night.  I wake on the weekends with a belly snuggled on my back and Davin and Emma kicking me as I wake up.  I love that part about it right now....that and all the ultrasounds we get to have to check for growth since we're having twins.  Speaking of growth, we have some little ham cakes a brewin'.  Emma is the big twin right now at a whopping 5.7 pounds, and Davin is the smaller one at 4.2 pounds.  That's always give or take 12 ounces or so.  Davin is measuring right at our actual due date, which will never happen, and Emma is measuring 34.5 weeks. Emma is in the 76th percentile and Davin is in the 39th.  I love them.  Emma may be the one that makes us have an early c-section, but we'll see.  I thought it would be fun to post some pictures of Amanda throughout the pregnancy when she started getting the "bump" .
