Yikes! That's what the doctor told us today. That he wouldn't be surprised if I had the girls in 2-3 weeks. John and I both agreed that we were not sure why but it took us by surprise.
I had kind of figured that I wouldn't go 10 more weeks, but I guess that thought I had more time than 2-3 weeks.
He also said that I could surprise him and go to 36 weeks too. I was also glad that he told me that I was an excellent candidate for a V-BAC! We will have to see what happens.
So for now, we are just keeping on doing the same thing- BEDREST and checking in twice a week.

Just like Daddy
I took this picture because she got out her computer out to "work" with daddy. That's what she said- "work." Now when she wants to work on on our computers, we remind her that she has her own and she runs and goes to find it!
Not all the time do we have moments of genius as parents, but we are sure glad that we had that one!
Bed rest is going OK. It is still hard, but I'm trying to be a good patient. Gianna and I have sweet moments during the day. She is beginning to understand that I can't get up and help her all the time (really at all!) I usually tell her- Daddy will have to fix it. So yesterday when John was "fixing" the toe kicks in the house Gianna helped him with her own rubber mallet and walked around saying, "Daddy fix it. Gianna fix it."

30 weeks!
30 weeks with 2 babies!
30 weeks with just Gianna
It's not me who's growing- It's the girls I promise!
We did have a doctors appointment and my cervix is holding on at a 2!
Two visits again next week.
Color Blind?
Well the time has come my dear friends, when I had to succumb to the destiny of lots of mom's everywhere.
Now some moms take the "cool" route and get and SUV or other car like that. But well, SUV's have never been on radar for my choice of transportation. Especially after we had to drive to Houston every other day last summer on 3.99 a gallon gas. I know the mini is not much better but it still makes me feel better- if not pious! :) (No condemnation if you drive a SUV- I'm just trying to write a funny blog.)
Thanks to my brother who has paved the way in most things in my life. He's two years older so he gets to do stuff first. He went to college first, got married first, had three girls first, and has had not one but two mini's. He let us test drive his Toyota in November and we loved it. We knew we were destined to get a mini because sadly all the girls and car seats could not fit in our beloved Chevy Malibu Maxx. So what's a family of five to do? Get a mini.
So we shopped around town and did decide to get the Toyota Sienna. But we weren't ready to buy it yet as it was just January. So we waited.
So fast forward to recent events and we decided that we should go ahead and make the plunge and get the mini before we REALLY needed it and then were forced to settle.
We both knew what we wanted. We agreed on the color, options, and details. John used his mad bargaining skills to get a AWESOME deal. Well, they were trying to put up a fight with the price of the trade in so John just walked away. It was sad Tuesday night, but we had prayed and felt at peace. The next day they called him and agreed to all what John wanted.
So he goes and picks up the car. Now mind you all I'm still on bed rest and could not go with him. He brings me home a blue car.
What is this? I clearly said- SLATE blue. 10 years. 10 years folks and we still haven't got this communication thing figured out.
So I'm on the verge of tears. John's on the phone and he turns around goes back to the dealership and three hours later he delivers my new SLATE blue mom mobile.
We got the car with more options and cooler interior. I'm glad I wanted the Slate blue! The dealership was nice about it. And VERY accommodating.
And John, well John was as nice as he could be. He said to me this morning- It's better now than 5 years from now and you still are saying how you hate the color!
I love that man of mine. I'm glad he loves me- mom jeans and all.
It was time to get a mini van.
I knew it was coming- I already have the I heart soccer tattoo and the mom jeans. All I needed to be a "true" mom was the mini van.Now some moms take the "cool" route and get and SUV or other car like that. But well, SUV's have never been on radar for my choice of transportation.

Just Keep Swimming
I'm just swimming here. Tomorrow marks two weeks on bed rest and I'm surviving. John is doing good, but tired, and Gianna well Gianna has fully adjusted.
Yesterday she pulled at my shirt and had to "check out" my tummy. That's really what she said. She got an old broken bluetooth that we decided she needed as a toy, and "checked" me out. She said I was "good." Thank goodness. Although the force at which she checked me out was a tad unpleasant- I was glad to know I passed her inspection.
We've talked to her some about her sisters. She insists on calling one of them Grace. That is not the name we have chosen however. I think she may be somewhat making a connection that I have babies in my tummy, because three times she has pointed at me and said, "Babies!"

One Day at a time
We had another Dr's appointment yesterday- no change stay the same- BEDREST! We go in for ANOTHER appointment on Friday! That's a lot. But as John said- What do you care it's your big event and outing for the day! :)
He's right. Not many places is it acceptable to lay down flat and do what you need to do. I guess the only place I can think of is a mattress store. But I don't need a new mattress.
The Doctors says yes, twice a week is a lot, but when I get further along then we won't have to go as much.
On a reading note, I finished Harry Potter last night. Bad move to do alone at night. John had a meeting that went late and I was by myself. It took a long time to fall asleep! But it was a good series and I'm glad that I waited until I could read them all back to back. Because when in my life could I have that much uninterrupted reading time. It will surely not be after the girls are born!!!!!
On a social note- I have really great friends! It has been so wonderful to be so blessed by so many different people. It is pure joy to know that so many of our friends care and are willing to come beside us and help us throughout this time. Thank you all!
Proverbs 27:9
Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel.

Hard Day
Yesterday was a hard day for all of us. We were just out of sorts. For me it was hard because Gianna has chosen now, to say "No, no, no!" When we ask her to hug or kiss me. I know it's just the moods of a 2 year old, but it's a hard by product of being on bed rest.
John was still trying to figure out how to balance the household and Gianna and me and all his normal Saturday chores as well.
So that's why there was no yesterday post.
Today was quiet. John and Gianna went to church and I read some Harry Potter. While they got Holy, I got Harry. I've been reading lots of him. I only have one and a half books left! None of this waiting to read the series for me. I like to start and finish. I was the same way with Lord of the Rings and even as a kid with Little House on the Prairie! What can I say- I like to read!

We did it
That's right- we did it. John and I both successfully watched Gianna for a whole day. Me while laying down and not being able to get up to encourage her to obedience. And John while trying to work full time but having many many breaks to do the get up part of parenting.
Many thanks to good friends who brought us lunch today and a very dear special friend who brought books and a fun craft to pass the time. Mostly it was just a delight to have people come by and break up the monotony of laying down with conversation. Tomorrow is 29 weeks! Grow dear babies grow!

Baby G is back!
That's right- Gianna came home today from a week at the grandparents. She had a great time and we missed her a lot! We enjoyed hanging out with John's parents they brought us lunch and cooked us dinner!
Gianna enjoyed climbing all over me and caught up with all her toys.
We had a Sonogram appointment today and I was very disappointed that it showed that I was back down to a 1.87. It really is a yo-yo ride. One day it's OK length and the next it's really short. They did not admit me to the hospital because I am compliant and following bed rest rules- laying down and only getting up to eat and personal hygiene.
One more week is gone and I'll be 29 weeks on Saturday. I'm really praying that I make it to at least 34 weeks. But one day at a time. Praise the Lord for no more contractions or trips to the hospital!

I can carry you
Watch around 1:42
This is what my sweet husband told me as he was getting me water, helping me get up, adjusting my pillow, opening the blinds, turning on the fan, getting me breakfast, bringing me the paper, getting a straw for my drink, and the millions of other tasks he does in a day to make sure I stay on bed rest and laying down.
He said, "I wish for a little bit I could carry the babies for you. But I know I can't so this is what I do to love you so you can carry the load."
Now how sweet is that? Making a LOTR analogy and wanting to carry my babies for me at the same time. What a keeper he is!

Irish
Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you all. Did you wear green? I did although no one saw it except my husband and he well he wore black today. I admit I did pinch him.
It's the small things in life that thrill you when you're on bed rest.
I've been reading a lot and on the computer some. Remarkably I've not been watching much TV. I guess I'm hoping that I will hold out as much as possible so that when I really do need to watch it, it will be a new fun thing! :)
In case you're wondering here's what I have read:
Magazine count: 5
Book count: 3 (one Harry Potter- 6 to go)
Days on Bed rest: 5
I made the grocery list and John went shopping for me! It's really the first time in 2 years that he's gone to the store to pick up more than just ice cream or milk because it's one of the fun things that Gianna and I do together every week. He did a great job and even used coupons!
Tomorrow he is going to get me a outside lounge chair so I can get out of the four walls on pretty days!

Deep Breath
Today we found out that my cervix has actually lengthened! Hurray! The bed rest seems to be working.
The hard way we found out was that at 4 this morning I had some contractions and we went to the ER to have them check it out. I got another IV and hooked up to monitors and had some not so fun poking, but after a while and a fetal fibriconetic test that came back negative they decided that my contracts were not serious and they sent me home. We were so glad to find out that the fetal test came back negative. That means that I'm not producing the hormones to go into labor right now.
I remembered the last words the nurse told me on Friday, "You go to the ER if there is something going on. You know your body best and we can check it out."
I was reassured by the doctors and nurses that were glad that I came in rather than try to tough it out.
We are emotionally drained today, but joyful. I had some time to ponder our drive into the hospital and how it represented our journey towards parenthood. You see it was totally dark today at 5 this morning on the way to the hospital. TOTALLY. There was a fog so thick that I have never seen in our town before. You had to be right next to the street light to tell what color it was. We "knew" the destination and the roads to get there, but had to pause just to make sure that were were headed in the right direction, and that others would be safe. I don't totally want to over analize our simple 10 minute trip, but it was a good way for God to remind me- "I know the path. I have it laid out for you. You may know where you will end up, but I have already been on the road before you and prepared the way."

Et tu Brute?
Were you being aware of the Ides of March?
We read Julius Cesar in high school and I always loved the warning given to Cesar- "Beware of the Ides of March." He did not believe and well, he ah, well... he got the point of a few disgruntled senators. Apparently he did not approve some of their judicial picks for the supreme court or their idea of a tax stimulus package.
Today was a slow day. I've been having some pretty bad heartburn, but other than that I'm fine. One more day down.

Bed Rest Day 2
Well I have to say, I've been so blessed by your thoughts, prayers, and offers to help already.
A big thanks goes to John's parents who came to get Gianna and for John's mom who offered to give up her spring break so John could work "baby free" for one more week.
John stayed home from his office this morning and he basically did everything for Gianna and he said, "I'm tired!" I laughed, because it's what I used to do everyday- even when I was supposed to be "a couch potato!'
We are so blessed so much already. John's parents took Gianna. John is working this weekend to make up for future time off. John is blessed with working for himself - so he has his laptop can work anywhere and he sets his own hours.
Obviously I'll be blogging more during this time. And I might even do facebook- something that I've been putting off for a long time! :) John even prayed that his time might be a time of renewal and spiritual closeness with the Lord.
I went in for the follow up shot today to help the girls' lungs develop. We have another appointment on Monday and one on Thursday for a sonogram. We'll let you know.
What does bed rest mean?
I can't pick up Gianna at all.
I have to be laying down with little to no pressure on the pelvis unless I'm going to the bathroom, eating or performing personal hygiene (taking a shower! :)
After a month the doctor will decide what's next. I think he said a month so that I wouldn't be so daunted by more time if needed.
I have a feeling that day 29 will find me ready to pull out my eyelashes, but for now, I'm rejoicing in the fact that I did NOT have to spend the night in the hospital last night. And that I'm not having any contractions, and that tomorrow is 28 weeks- one more day closer to 36 weeks!

Bed Rest
Yup I'm on bed rest now. I'm on it for a month. But it's every woman's dream right to stay in bed while someone else does the cooking and cleaning!
They gave me a shot today to help the babies lungs and I get another one tomorrow. Now I've had shots since birth. And trust me I got a lot to even get pregnant, but folks-this one HURT!
My happy face says stay brave and it will work out. My scared side keeps remembering statistics that I've read about and seen with children with special needs who were born early.
Please join me in praying for the girls' health.
My verse for the last few weeks has been:
Consider it joy my brethren when you endure trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
James 1:2-3
Not that I'm jumping up and down for joy at this trial, but that for the joy that I know will come on the other side of it.

Take it Easy
Take It Easy-The Eagles (Live) - Watch the top videos of the week here
I don't have seven women on my mind, but I do have three. One that wants to hold me and two that want to grow me, and all will be a friend of mine. But the reason for the song is that we went to the Doctor on Friday and he didn't like what he saw going on with me and the babies. In fact "Be a couch potato" were his exact words. I go again for a check up this week. If things have not improved then I will be put on bed rest. Not exactly my idea of fun. Please pray that my body would do what it needs to do and that I will carry the girls to at least 34 weeks. I'm just at 27 now.
The up side of being a couch potato this weekend is that I finished a book and read a few magazines. The downside is that John was home and could watch Gianna all the time. Another downside is that I know I'm in hyper nesting mode and I have lots to do before the girls come. Well not really, but it FEELS like a lot. So I've be trying to pause, rest, and slow down. Because that is WAY better than not being allowed to sit up.
We go in Thursday so look for the update then!

27 weeks
This week I'll tell you exactly which one is which. Because- well, you all guess so well I can't be tricky!
This is me at 27 weeks with Gianna.
This is me at 27 weeks with the girls.
I'm not so far different in distance out (at least that's what I'm thinking! ;), but check out where I have my hands. The girls are defiantly higher up than Gianna was!

Count down is on!!!
8-10 weeks left folks!!!!! And yes I am in full nesting getting ready mode! Time is running low.
But still I decide to add more projects to my plate!
I have finished most of my photo albums that I wanted to do I just have to print out my favorite 2008 photos of Gianna. That's the year not the number of photos that I need to print out. We've already discussed that getting Gianna to take pictures is a difficult thing. I doubt that I have even 2008 pictures from the year 2008!
We got her two year portraits done and I will have to print those out as well. (I just got her one year portraits in a book! Just one year behind check how good I am!!!!!)
I have three mini sewing projects that I need to do. Not much time, but I just have to do them.
I decided to make Gianna's big girl bedding. It is a supper cute pink fabric with little gathered rosettes, and I got matching circus material for the bed skirt. Haven't fully decided on the curtains yet, and I need to get sheets that match. Why did I add this? I don't know. I guess I wanted just one more challenge to keep me going!
I have a baby shower to plan for my friend that just had her baby. We're doing a sip 'n see. That my friends is where you have the baby first and them everyone comes and gets to sip on punch and see the baby. Got it? - sip 'n see!
A bunch of little things but they have to wait. We are getting the college students to come and paint some things so I have to wait for the end of March for that. And they are painting a dresser for Gianna so that's when I'll change her "stuff" over to the big girl room. I"m going to wait until after my parents leave from their visit (after the girls are born) to change her to the big girl room because I don't want to build up this big girl bed only to have her move back to a crib for two weeks. And plus- it will be crazy anyway with twin babies. So why not add more fun to the mix?
And speaking of more fun- Gianna decided on Monday that she wanted to wear underwear. She did nothing in the potty, but she started to make some connections about what's going on. I'm not pushing it because frankly- have you seen my list above? That's one more thing and I really don't have the flexibility and mobility to be all the way committed to it. She'll get it. I'm not stressing over it.
OK, so now you know where I stand. If you see me wandering the isles of Hobby Lobby, just point me to the door so I can go home and get busy!
But still I decide to add more projects to my plate!

A bunch of little things but they have to wait. We are getting the college students to come and paint some things so I have to wait for the end of March for that. And they are painting a dresser for Gianna so that's when I'll change her "stuff" over to the big girl room. I"m going to wait until after my parents leave from their visit (after the girls are born) to change her to the big girl room because I don't want to build up this big girl bed only to have her move back to a crib for two weeks. And plus- it will be crazy anyway with twin babies. So why not add more fun to the mix?
And speaking of more fun- Gianna decided on Monday that she wanted to wear underwear. She did nothing in the potty, but she started to make some connections about what's going on. I'm not pushing it because frankly- have you seen my list above? That's one more thing and I really don't have the flexibility and mobility to be all the way committed to it. She'll get it. I'm not stressing over it.
OK, so now you know where I stand. If you see me wandering the isles of Hobby Lobby, just point me to the door so I can go home and get busy!

Did I tell you?
That we went to San Antonio this weekend to see a friend? More details and pictures soon I promise.
That I joined the twins club here in town?
That I tease on of my friends that I know through the club and from church that I get nervous when I read her blog about her toddler twins?
I added her in the links and she has some funny stories if you are ever in need of a laugh and I have not provided it for you that day. Check out Allison's blog for her adventures with double the babies.
