34 Weeks

I went to my doctor yesterday. I did a Non-Stress Test and Ultrasound and both looked good. My doctor is going to a conference at the University on Friday and is going to discuss our situation with other doctors, surgeons, and specialists. She wants to get everyone's advice on when would be the best time to deliver our babies because of our complications. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided next week at 35 weeks to just deliver them. The reason why it's important to deliver just right is because they don't want Baby B to pass inside me because it could cause Baby A to have a stoke or other complications. So it's almost a guessing game as when is the best time to deliver. They don't want to deliver me too early knowing Baby A will probably have to go in the NICU. So we'll see what they say next week.

At 34 weeks pregnant with twins I am quite uncomfortable. I have gained a total of 12 pounds, my weight hasn't changed in the last two weeks. Pretty much anything is exhausting for me to do. I take breaks while getting ready, cooking dinner, cleaning, pretty much anything. I have a ton of stretch marks on my stomach that I didn't get with Cambree. I have been having Braxton Hicks Contractions, which is a new thing for me, since I didn't feel my first contraction with Cambree until they broke my water and started me on Pitocin. Physically I am ready to be done being pregnant, emotionally I'd rather be pregnant forever than face our reality. One week or so to go.

Family Fun

I've been naughty at bringing my camera lately to all the family get together s we've had. My cute sissy in law, Kattie came into town a couple weeks ago and thankfully we've been able to see her while she was here. We've gone swimming twice and both times I didn't bring my camera.

So when the whole family went to Layton Park, I made sure I brought my camera along. I know I say this often but I truly LOVE Benton's family and am so blessed I married into such a wonderful, fun, loving family. I love every single one of them.

Here's a a picture of us girls. From Left to right, Kattie, Me, Linda, Carol and Aimee.

Cambree enjoyed playing with the football with Benton. She adores her daddy.

New Obsession

Cambree is addicted to muffins or in her words "uffins". This past week we went through 3 boxes. I might have eaten two, but that's all. She gobbles them down like nobody's business.

She has a cute new way of communicating. If she asks you for something and you ask it back to verify, she always says "OK!".
For example:

Cambree: "I want a uffin".
Me: "You want a muffin?"
Cambree: "OK!!!"

So here's Cambree and her favorite thing to eat at the moment :)
