36 week ultrasound

We had our last ultrasound today. I asked if it was possible to get a earlier induction date but they said "no." I'm going to ask my OB tomorrow as I am soooo ready. We found out today that Baby A is 5.13 pounds and Baby B is 6.6 pounds. We were surprised to hear that but also know that ultrasounds can be off plus or minus so we'll see. Every ultrasound we have had has been great and the girls have done so well, their poor mommy is suffering but I know it will be all worth it. I'm hoping by sunday I will go into labor, the weight on my body has made me fairly handicapped. At this point my mom is helping me dress and makes me food. The next post should be my birth story, can't wait.

our first early labor sign

saturday around 3am, I woke up to contractions being 4 minutes apart. after an hour of counting, I called the oncall doctor and she told me to go into labor and delivery. They monitored me for a few hours but sent me home as my cervix was still closed. We really thought the girls were going to come within the next day. The pain of the contractions were nothing like the usual braxton hicks but I guess they aren't ready to meet everyone yet. I have gotten other signs that labor is not too far away so hopefully by the end of the week we will have them home. I'll keep you updated.

Our nursery (so far)

Here's what we have done with the nursery. We still need to add some frames and window treatments. Today I'm having one of those days where I feel the girls will be coming soon. We'll see.

maternity shots

Here are a few shots that Anthony and I took the day before bedrest started. It was raining that day and our photographer suggested in door pictures but I really wanted outdoor so I had a little faith and went for it. All of a sudden 10 minutes into the pictures, it stopped raining and a beautiful circle of blue skys came out right where we were.
