Update....

I went to the doctor today. The ultrasound turned out great. Lauren is estimated to weigh 3lbs 2 ozs and Elizabeth weighs approximately 3 lbs. They are measuring a week ahead of me, so that is good news. Their fluid levels, heart rates, and movement are great! The last fFN test was negative, so I should make it until Easter at least! My next appointment is in two weeks. I will have another fFN test, so pray that it is negative as well!! They say 37 weeks is full term for twins, so only 8 weeks to go. Sometimes it seems like I have been pregnant forever, but other times it seems like it has gone by so fast. I am so excited the girls have made it this far. Each day they stay put is such a blessing. Please continue to pray that the girls stay inside for as long as possible. Jason and I are really praying that we can take our little pumkins home with us after they are born. I can't imagine going home without our new little bundles. Have a great week!

Spring Break Fun...

Spring break has been fun, but it was so busy! Monday, I organized the nursery. It is not completely done, but it is getting there. Tuesday, Kara and I cleaned house and then she had her picture taken for the last time by herself. Mom and Dillon went with us so Dillon could have his birthday dinner. He picked Cheesecake Factory-of course!- and we ate too much food!! Wednesday, I went to the doctor. Everything seems to be fine! I had that super cool test, but I called Friday and the lab lost the test. As a result, I have to go back to redo the test. Nice... oh well. It happens. Wednesday night was a big first for Kara. She had her first sleepover with her best friend Carly! We all ate dinner, played outside, and watched Lion King. The girls took their baths, put on their pjs and cuddled up for bed. Kara told us it was okay to go! She is getting to be such a big girl. The next morning, the girls got donuts and Jason picked up Kara. That day, Dad, Bobbie, Mary and Raymond came over to hang out. Raymond grilled so Jason got to watch the Aggies win their basketball game! Friday, Kara and I had our hair trimmed. Kara did a great job. She sat in the chair next to me while I had mine cut and then she jumped up in the big chair and sat down for her turn. They curled her hair with a curling iron. She had ringlets all over her head! It was too cute. Friday afternoon, we all headed to Katy for a little crawfish party. Jason cannot pass up a chance to eat crawfish! Kara played with baby Morgan and Laura and I got to visit. Today, Jason is playing golf with the guys.

Our spring break is pretty much done. :( Oh well... back to work and all of that fun stuff. Only 10 weeks left until Summer! If I can work the next 7 weeks, I will be done with drill team stuff. We shall see! Have a great weekend....

Spring Break is finally here!

We had a busy week, but spring break is finally here! On Thursday, I picked up Kara so she could attend a shower the Fillies threw for me and the girls. I had just enough time to drive to Tomball, pick Kara up, and head back to school before my next class. Of course, when I have everything planned out... something happens! I was loading the car and my elbow must have hit the automatic locks. I never take my keys out of the car at my mom's house, so when I shut the door, I heard the horn honk. You know... the sound the car makes with the doors are all locked and the alarm is activated! It was a mess. At least Kara was not in the car. Thank God! So, I had to take my mom's car and drive to my house to pick up the extra set of keys. Did I mention that it was raining cats and dogs for the first time since IKE!! Oh well, we made it back to school (a few minutes late) and everything went well. Kara had a blast opening presents, eating sweets, and playing with Emma.

This week, we have big plans to rest and relax! Kara and I are going to have our hair trimmed, my dad and the whole crew are going to come for a visit, and I have a doctor's appointment. I will make sure to update Wednesday after my visit. I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Doctor Visit #50067

You are probably wondering about the title... it feels like I have been to the doctor a million times... thus the title!! Anyway, everything went well today. The girls are doing great. They are both currently weighing in at 1 pound 12 ounces, which is about 2 days ahead of schedule. I am measuring 29 weeks (even though I am only 25 weeks) which means I have plenty of room for the girls to grow according to Dr. Laden. It seems to me there is not much room for growth, but I guess they technically have plenty of room. They are both 'vertex' which means they are head down. Dr. Laden said they are smart babies for being head down. Kara was the same way! This means we have a better chance of having a regular birth. I go back in two weeks. At the next appointment, they will test for a protein or something that can predict if you will go into labor in the next two weeks. If it is not there, then we will have some peace of mind for two more weeks. From today, it looks like Lauren and Elizabeth want to stay inside a lot longer. This is such a blessing. I know there are a TON of people praying for the girls! Please continue to pray for their continued growth and progress. Also, please pray they stay inside my belly for a few more months.

Only a week and a half until Spring Break! Yippee!!
