Blogger Befounded

It seems that along with my Myspace I had when I was 14, my skills of using html are but a childhood memory. I am having an embarrassingly significant amount of difficulty customizing my blog as far as template, photos, and music. Hopefully, I can master it before the babies get here. :) I found myself laughing aloud today as I had to read a tutorial written my a freshman in high school to help me add a playlist to my blog, which ultimately I did incorrectly as well. Alas, I will not be defeated!

Feeling great today. I had the car seats installed by the Vestavia Hills Fire Department this afternoon; it's comforting to know that my little ones will be snug and safe. Still getting the shocked reaction when I tell people I am expecting twins; guess I should take it as a compliment. The ride home with my two little carseats nestled in my back seat was a sweet one. Granted although they are empty, it still gave me warm, fuzzy mommy feelings all over. :)

Ordered their Pack and Play today!

Finally decided that a pack and play would indeed be a lot of help with two little ones. At least I will have a safe place to keep one "contained" while I tend to the other. So thankful for the Target gift cards from friends and loved ones that made this a reality. I am sure Daddy can't wait to put it together. :)

These last few weeks have been kind of hard, I'm not going to lie. The anticipation is a little more difficult than I thought it would be.... I am just so ready for them to be here, dirty diapers, snotty noses and all. It's literally all I think about ALL day, and all night seeing as how sleep is but a memory. :) I must continue to remind myself how good it is for them to stay snug in my belly as long as possible, but oh how I can't wait to see them. In the mean time, I try to busy myself... I have washed every stitch of their clothing and organized it by size and type and followed suit with the diapers. Hoping to paint a shelf and some letters for their room this weekend.

Becoming a mother begins ever so long before you hold your precious bundle(s) in your arms. It becomes you, as it should, from the moment you find out you are expecting. I have always felt that once one becomes a mother, that becomes her life, her purpose. I feel it more now than ever. I really do believe I am on the edge of one of the most enriching phases of my life as a woman.

37 weeks and counting....

Granted Evie and Graham are indeed breech :)

"You are still here!? And still pregnant!?"
These were the exact words as my doctor entered the room at my 37 week appointment yesterday. Indeed, I am STILL very much pregnant with my sweet twins, and am so glad to know that they are getting chubbier by the minute, and by the amount of oreos I consumed last week, I'd say they are sure to be HUGE when they make their debut.

I have been ever so blessed to have a seemingly perfect pregnancy. Still working full time at Dr. Ramsay's office, but my hospital bags are packed and ready. :) Doctor says we can schedule the c-section at my 39 week appointment, which will be May 11th!
