More baby stuff......

So I went to the doctor again yesterday. The doctor was funny and wanted to know if I had asked my baby boy A yet why he decided to be a "little flipper" and go breech on us. All I could do was laugh.

I am now dilated to a "2" and 50% effaced. Wahoo- raise the roof - WHATEVER! My doctor said that he wanted to go ahead and see me next week. I asked him: why? I honestly thought he would schedule the c-section this week!! He said that because my blood pressure is so good and the boys seem to be doing fine - he wants to wait until 38 weeks to do the c-section.

I expressed my concerns to him regarding going into labor and the complications - ie delivering the cord first, etc. Well - he checked me and assured me that this would not be my case.

So - only 9 days to go if I do not go into labor on my own. Not that I am counting or anything!!!

Madisen has started to call me the "cabbage patch mama". At first I did not understand what in the world she was talking about. I asked her what she meant by this. She said that my feet and ankles look like one of her cabbage patch dolls because they are so swollen and big. So - another thing that I look forward to losing after these boys are born - my cabbage patch feet and ankles. :0)

Last Ultrasound....

Could it really be true? I have made it in the pregnancy to the last ultrasound? Yes I did and I can hardly believe it! I guess a part of me really thought that I would have these babies by now.

I had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday. I am only dilated to a "one". BUMMER!! My doctor said that he would strip my membranes next week when he saw me. Later that day I had an ultrasound and guess what - the little flipper - Baby A is Breech AGAIN! So - both babes are head up!!! This means that a c-section will be planned for me!

I am totally OK with this - just as long as the boys are healthy - that is all I really want/care about!! So - I called my doctor and spoke with his nurse. She said she would let the doc know and they would call me if he wanted me to come in sooner - otherwise they would see me on Tuesday.

So - Baby A's estimated weight was 6lbs 4 oz and Baby B's estimated weight is 6 lbs 8 oz. Both babies fluid looks "outstanding" and they are both very active. Of course, they are boys. I am very happy with their growth and just want them to be healthy when they are born.

I am 36 weeks pregnant today. So - when I was about 30 weeks pregnant I "grounded" the boys and told them they were not allowed to be born until they cooked for another 6 weeks. We made it!!! I will keep everyone posted. I cannot wait to be able to see my shoes again!!!

More remodel...I know it never ends with us!!!

Here is a slide show of Madisen's new room. She wanted to move into a "New room" and give up her old room to her new brothers. I asked her probably too many times if she was really sure and she said that she was. Here are the before and after pictures. She loves it and we do too!

My "Sweetheart" Tree

Ok - so I have not been the greatest blogger lately, but trust me, I really have to plan my bathroom breaks, etc. when I am downstairs. We do not have a bathroom down here yet. So - Hopefully I can get this post done before nature calls AGAIN!

Anyway - growing up my mom always had different holiday trees. One of my favorite was her "Sweetheart" or Valentine's tree. Two years ago I also adopted this tradition and we love it! Here are pictures of this year's tree. It has actually been up for awhile. My favorite addition this year is the pink and red mailboxes found at Target right after Christmas. I have learned that if I see something, then I had better grab it or else it is gone!!
