Le Septième Mois

Baby A - face down today, you were hard to see!

Baby B - continuing your trend of looking like a beach bum!

My what big feet you have Baby B!

It's hard to believe that I'm now in my third trimester, and am almost 29 weeks pregnant. You are both the exact same size now - a whopping 3.8 pounds each of you! You're both measuring 2 weeks ahead and even the ultrasound tech said "you sure know how to make big babies!" today. Those are my big, strong, healthy boys in there! You seem quite at home as wombmates (or as your cousin Michelle says - "womb-MA-tays.") I am now up 38 pounds, and it's reassuring to know that about 15 pounds of that is you two in your little space. I'm pretty sure the rest of it is in my face and legs cause boy oh boy, they sure are fat!

I can feel you both now pretty regularly and I have to admit, I love it when you move. I love feeling your little kicks and punches and God only knows what else. You are awesome because you sleep when I sleep, and oooohhhh how I pray you'll keep that up when you are born! Although I thought you had moved around, you are both firmly planted in the same positions you've been in for the last probably 16  weeks - like a ying & yang - kicking each other in the heads.

We had our baby shower on February 25, which was put on by your great aunts and uncle. We had it at your great uncle M & W's house, and all your family from Columbus came up to celebrate. There were a few of my friends there as well and my oh my! You would not believe all of the stuff you two got!!!! It was unbelievable the mountains and mountains of baby goods. You are SO loved, as are mom and dad, and we are so thankful for the love, support, and graciousness of our friends and family. I can't wait for you to meet everyone!

Your room is almost finished, too. I just need to have dad hang up your art and I have to put your mountains of clothes away - I think we actually have too many! We are getting so excited to meet you boys. I can't wait to kiss those tiny little noses I've been seeing for the past few months. Time is flying by - you'll be here in another 8-10 weeks, it hardly seems possible!
