February Here I Come

Wow I can't believe it is February on Tuesday. The month is here for my babies to arrive.  I go to my OB on Tuesday morning and should have a c-section date. I am ready. I know it will be a lot of work, but in my memory it is sure easier than these last few weeks have been being pregnant. Maybe I won't agree after they are here but I am looking forward to babies waking me instead of waking every hour or so for no reason.

The kids are getting more and more excited. I hope it continues. My mom is coming the 8th so we hope the babies arrive around that time. Anyone else want a trip to Vegas? I will provide room and board, you just have to get here and help hold what I assure you will be the cutest babies. Hey, I will take help from where ever I can get it.

ultrasound

4 weeks ago I was at teh MFM and they estimated the girls weighed
Baby A- 3 lb 2 oz
Baby B- 2 lb 14 oz

So  I headed back for another u/s to check growth yesterday at 33 weeks. I was hoping they would be just over 4 pounds. That is a lot of growth in 4 weeks. I was plesently surprised
Baby A- 4 lb 11 oz
Baby B- 4 lb 9 oz

Yeah for growth. At the end they estimate they grow 1/2 lb a week.If they do that they will be just over 6 1/2 pounds. Wow. That would be huge for twins. I already am carrying over 9 lb of baby, no wonder I am so uncomfortable all the time. Most people don't even do taht at the end much less with 4 more weeks to go. I could have 13 lbs of baby before this is over. Not to mention 2 sacs, 2 placentas, double the fluid. Hope I make it to the end before my body gives out.

Christmas Morning

The Cosmopolitan

 Kyle's job has few perks, he works long hours and for not much pay. But he does have a job and we are thankful. But when the Cosmo opened in December, they offered a free nights stay for cab drivers along wtih free meal at one of thier restaurants for dinner and 2 breakfast buffets. So we jumped at the early Christmas present. We went on the 23rd adn took the kids down. We fed them a meal at the burger place called Holsteins. It wsa good but expensive. Then our great friends the Sinks took the kids for the night.

We met some of Kyle's work buddies for dinner at their steak house called STK. It was great food. But between appetizers, steaks, sides, and dessert our meal was $125. Wow, we are cheap skates normally and would never spend that much on a meal but it was fun as the bill wasn't our.

 

 Kyle loved the room

 He said when we build a house he wants our master bath to be like this.

 The tub was like 3 feet deep, I loved it.
