Week 23

Another week has flown by, I'm at Week 23! The girls are doing acrobats in my tummy! They are so active, especially at night. I hope they don't keep this up when they arrive! Zac had his days and nights mixed up for the first few months.

Another Doctor's Appt.

I had my 4 week check-up with my OBGYN. We went over the signs of pre-term labor. The doc would like me to ideally deliver at 34 weeks, preferably at 37 weeks (most pregnancies with twins deliver 3 weeks early). That would put me delivering on March 29th at 34 weeks or April 19th at 37 weeks. I've gained 7 lbs. in 5 weeks! My blood pressure was good, 100/82. I go back in another 4 weeks. They went ahead and sent me the Glucola (for gestational diabetes screening) so I can drink it before the next appt. I picked out the orange flavor. Before, I only had to drink half, now they make you drink the WHOLE bottle. I guess some women were getting confused. I go see the specialist again on the 19th.

Visited the Grandmas

Saturday Ryan and I dropped Zac off at Grandma Beth's (or Granny B as we call her!). We looked at a house in Grain Valley and then Ryan got his haircut. We stopped by Jacey's and picked up her maternity clothes, thank you Jacey! We ate dinner at Golden Corral. I know, exciting Saturday night! Ryan loves eating at that place. Zac is going through the "I'm not eating anything" phase. It's weird to see him go from eating everything in sight to turning his head away from food. There were too many loud and crazy people to watch there! He did end up eating some fruit. Sunday was pretty laid back. We stopped by World Market and Lowe's and then over to Grandma Linda's. She got to see his "other" side. She'd never seen his bad side- whiny and wanting to be held all the time. She made yummy fajitas! Oh and Uncle James made the Spanish rice. Sweet Zac taking a nap:

Week 22

I am feeling big this weekend! I looked at my belly shots from when I was pregnant with Zac. Week 22 with the girls is about how big I was with Zac at 28 weeks! I see my regular doctor this Thursday.

A Day to Myself

I thought today I would lay around and watch movies, but I ended up being quite productive and didn't even turn the TV on. I dropped Zac off at Daycare at 9am and didn't pick him up until almost 5pm! I did my Saturday cleaning today, since we have a busy day tomorrow. I also bathed all 4 dogs, went to Wal-Mart, and took Pebbles to the vet for her yearly shots. I really like our vet, Dr. Lyle. I kept my jacket on during Pebbles' visit, and the first thing he asked if I was expecting. I said, "Yes, twin girls." He burst out laughing! I said, "When I heard the news, I started crying!" He has 3 girls and the younger 2 are 20 months apart. He said it's tough enough with the 2 of them, he couldn't imagine adding another! He apologized for laughing and said he wasn't laughing at me, but with me. I reminded him I wasn't laughing! Then we talked about minivans, double strollers... Ryan and I made breakfast for dinner, put Zac to bed, and that's a wrap!

The 1st Day of the New Year

After such a busy day on Wednesday, we did absolutely nothing on Thursday. Needless to say, we didn't stay up to midnight. I did hear fireworks in our neighborhood and rolled over to see what time it was, it was 12:00am exactly. So I yelled "Happy New Year Babe!" to Ryan, he mumbled it back, half asleep. I stayed in my robe until about 2pm, then we all got ready to eat a prime rib dinner at Grandma Linda's. It was tasty! Here's Zac wearing his 2009 party hat he made at Daycare!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a happy New Year. Wednesday Ryan went to work and they were slow, so he had the option of going home. Which he did of course! I dropped Zac off at Daycare and we met Kelsey at Panda Express for lunch. Afterwards, Ryan and I headed to the Independence Center. We exchanged a few of Zac's Christmas clothes at Baby Gap. We also had to check out the baby girl clothes :) It's so funny to watch Ryan hold up frilly dresses saying "look how cute this is!" Then we exchanged a few things I got from Motherhood Maternity. I got some very attractive stretchy pants! Hey they're comfortable. Ryan laughed when I held out the size Medium (I will get bigger too!) I asked him what he was laughing at... he thought it was funny how I used to be Miss Fashionable, now I was buying a "big" pair of elastic pants. Comfort first, then fashion (if at all!). We had a few more errands to run and didn't pick up Zac until 5pm! I was exhausted from all the stops we made and all the walking.
