No babies yet

These girls are staying nice and cozy... but I sure am ready to meet them!

Our nursery is stocked, hospital bag packed, car seats installed, all baby clothes washed... and I am feeling like I could explode any minute! I look like I'm smuggling a beach ball!

My doctor gave me permission to move around a bit more these days. At this point, the babies are good to go. Maybe a little more motion will move things along.

So this weekend, I left the house a few times for reasons other than my weekly doctor's appointment. It felt so nice to get out of the house. I even got a manicure/pedicure with my sister and mom!

My parents were up in Chicago for Sandi's bridal shower and Brett and Kyle's bachelor party.

Sandi's bridal shower was Saturday afternoon. I didn't go, but Erin sent me a few pictures (and brought me home a cupcake)! The theme for their wedding is the movies, so these were the cupcakes that Sandi's sister-in-law made. They have marshmallows on the top to look like popcorn. So cute!

Update

It's been a month now that I've been on bed rest. It has gone by faster than I thought it would (thank goodness!) I'm very happy to have made it to 34 weeks. The babies are doing great and estimated to weigh around 4.5 to 5 pounds a piece.

They are surprisingly strong and still trying to move around. But they are definitely running out of space. Baby B has decided to migrate even farther north into my ribs. I try to nudge her back down but she is having none of that! Baby A is pretty set in her spot. She's been breech for 10 weeks now and the doctor doesn't have much hope that she'll make a big move to be head down at this point. So, looks like I'll be having a c-section.

I had a dream last week that when the doctor pulled out Baby A, he said "It's a boy!". So at our most recent ultrasound, I asked to confirm they were both girls. Baby A is in a bad position and we couldn't see anything. So that was no help! Baby B is still definitely a girl, though. I told Matt that if Baby A is a boy, he'll be the youngest cross-dresser, because we have a lot of pink clothes! :)

Here are a few nursery pics... I wish I had taken a "before" picture of the room. It's quite a change from the dark blue paint we had in there previously! I haven't put anything up on the walls yet, but I'm planning to. Maybe their names... once we figure out what they are! Lots of thanks to my mom who spent a weekend up in Chicago setting up the nursery while I sat in the glider watching!

Cribs are done, but the dressers were a little more involved

Small room - packed with baby stuff!

It's pink/green with a monkey theme

It seems so surreal to me that in a few weeks, these little babies are going to be here!
