32 weeks

Really? Already? Six to go? No way!! It is hard to believe.....especially when I don't feel ready at home. I am not entirely sure why I feel so unprepared, as we have all the basics: cribs, diapers, clothes and car seats. Some kids don't even have that. I guess I just want to be more organized as I know it will all go out then window when they get here. At least I will feel better starting off on a good foot. My mom was so kind to help me out today and we did a lot of organizing and getting baby clothes together. We have been so blessed to have such generous family and friends that I think we have almost too much of some things. I won't complain at all. We are very lucky!!

I am feeling pretty good for the most part. We spent all of last week camping and pretty much sat on my butt and did nothing. The weather was beautiful and we couldn't have asked for better. I am back to work tomorrow....that should be fun. I am still growing and gaining weight....all of which is good but is starting to have the negative effects. I have started to have some swelling in my feet and have chubby toes some nights. For those who know my toes, these finger-toes have never been chubby in my life. It is rather amusing at times. I actually had to loosen the laces on my sneakers the other day as I couldn't get my feet in! haha! I also found stretch marks yesterday. I have been using cocoa butter since day one.....guess we have to bump up to 3 times a day now!

I also had an ultrasound today. Our babies are growing like weeds. Our little girl is now 4 lbs 13 oz and out little man is till just a smidge behind her at 4 lbs 11 oz. If you remember, they were just over/under 3 lbs a month ago. That is almost 2 lbs gained (EACH) in a month! They must be taking after mommy and daddy in that regard for sure! That's okay though.......we like healthy fat babies! She was photogenic, as always. Surprisingly the tech could see that the girl has hair!!!! I never thought I would have a child born with hair! He is still bald, but being a boy, that is cool. He was a stinker and wouldn't show his face at all. But....a good thing is, that he has been listening to mommy lately and has flipped back to head-down position. Good boy!
