Holy Cow!!! We're Having Real Babies....SOON

So we had a little bit of a scare last week...I started getting contractions! No need to panic thoough- after 5 lovely hours in the hospital we were assured that everything was alright. Yes- i AM in deed having legit contractions- but they are very sporadic and my cervix is still completely closed. The doctor said that I am fine to go about my normal activity- I just can't be lifting anything or running around too much :) Both babies are doing great and moving around a TON!

Starting this week I will have weekly doctors visits as well as a weekly non-stress test at the hospital. That's when they hook each baby up to a monitor to make sure the hear beats are regular ad they also monitor your contractions. Its standard procedure for all moms with twins. They will also increase the frequency of the ultrasounds- which is NEVER a problem with us hehe :)

I have just been taking it easy- looking forward to my last dya of work...Aug 22! We are getting the furniture the weekend, it will be fun to have things to start working on getting set up for the boys.

This week it is sinking in how close I am to actually being a mom! In just a few short weeks I will be writing to you about poopy diapers and funny things the babies did...I CAN'T WAIT!

Reminiscing...

Hey! I was just playing around on picnik.com, this awesome site that lets u edit and customize pictures, and thought I would post a picture from the first night Tony and I ever kissed...I still get goosebumps. I actually started that night out by tellmy friend Julie, "do not let me kiss Tony tonight", that didn't work out :) Looking back, I am glad she didn't stop me because who knows where we would be today. I really believe that everything happens for a reason and what is meant to be will always find away. I love this picture because I think it shows how much fun we have together and how happy we are :)

The babies are doing great- they are EXTREMELY active this week. I love being able to feel them kick and roll, it's like they are my own little secret buddies. I can not wait until I can hold them in my arms and see what their little faces are going to look like.

I'm off to do some more photo editing. If you are looking to do something fun and creative with your photo's, definitely check out www.picnik.com

Overwhelmed...and loving it...

I'm back with more pictures! There are a couple of my belly- it is getting SOOOOOO big (and heavy). I also put up some from the baby shower we had last weekend.

Everything is going great with the babies- they are growing more and more each day. They are kicking and rolling like crazy now, it is so much fun to just lie down and feel them play :) Sometimes I wonder if they are playing together- how precious would that be??? I've been feeling a little more (ok lot more...) tired than usual lately, I think it comes from the extra work of carrying an increasingly large belly everywhere I go....I have just been trying to get as much rest as possible.

Even though I have these little ones weighing me down, I have embarked on a mission of cleaning my house and getting everything ready. Over the past 3 weekends, my mom and I have cleared the 1st and 2nd floor or all unecesary clutter and done a thorough cleaning :) We only have the dining room and the basement to do now! I can't wait for that to be done so that I can start moving in baby furniture and getting things put in their places, clothes, bedding etc. Yes, I know its early, but lately I'm beginning to wonder how much longer I will be on my feet- Better safe and prepared than sorry :)

We had our first baby shower, thrown by the grand-mothers, this past weekend and it was a blast! We got tons of baby things that we really needed, and a great start to a savings account for the boys :) It was awesome to see our friends and family. Thank You everyone!!!

There will be a second shower coming up in Aug...stay tuned for details :)
