32 Weeks

Today was bitter-sweet for Clay. He sold the jeep he rebuilt with the help of his brother. He bought it 8 years ago. We enjoyed it while he had it, but with the twins on the way, it was no longer practical. Here's some pictures throughout the years..

Sorry Colton, one day when you want a cool jeep and you are sad because we sold it- it's kind of my fault. However, Clay and I have already said we will have another jeep later on. Maybe it will be a project for Clay and Colton to do together. It was a fun eight years with the jeep. We hope the new owner loves it just as much as we did. Interesting fact, the guy we sold it to is a twin!!

This past Friday I went to visit one of my best friends who is expecting triplets! It's so crazy that college roommates would both be pregnant with multiples at the same time. It's so cool to see how God brings people together to go through life together. Natalie is 26 weeks pregnant and needs continual prayer for her and the sweet babies to stay put for another 6 weeks. We are going to have fun with all the little ones in the years to come!

Today I went for a follow up ultrasound. We were released from the specialist and are now able to get the ultrasounds at the regular OB office. Mom met me there this morning, she always loves seeing the little ones on the screen. It's gotten harder to see specifics on the screen anymore. It's getting a little cramped in there I guess. :) All the measurements were great, both babies measured 32 weeks when she measured the head, leg and whatever else she did. The estimate for Colton's weight is 4 lbs 9oz. However, this is just an estimate. The program wasn't calculating Ann Marie's weight for some reason, but the tech said it was probably close. Colton is breech and Ann Marie is head down right now. I go back to the office to see the OB on Thursday.

 How far along: 32 Weeks
Total weight gain: 34 pounds on my home scale
Maternity clothes: my mom took 6 dresses to have them altered for me, they fit in the stomach but are too big in the arms.. looking forward to some new options for the remainder of my pregnancy
Stretch marks: still haven't officially seen any
Sleep: I have started waking Clay up on accident around 3pm when I get up. I guess you can say now we are both getting ready for the weeks ahead.
Best moment of this week: spending time with Natalie in the hospital just like we were back in the dorm room and good reports from the ultrasound today
Miss anything: my back not aching..
Movement: the upper right side is where Colton's head is - so all the little punches up there are from him. The bottom left is where Ann Marie's head is and I can feel little movements down there too.
Food cravings: love me some sugar still- poor kids are going to have a sweet tooth
Anything making you queasy or sick: nothing really this week
 Have you started to show yet: of course! :)
Gender: Girl and Boy
Labor signs: braxton hicks have really picked up as well- on average 6-7 per day (unless I am dehydrated or not moving enough then they really pick up). Swelling has also gotten worse the last week or so.
Belly button in or out: the whole belly button seems to poking out now- could totally see it today with the shirt I wore
Wedding rings on or off: On but getting a little snug
Happy or moody most of the time: happy and excited.. yet nervous too
Looking forward to: my doctor visit Thursday and a shower with Cathy's friends Saturday for a luncheon

Verse I am focusing on this week for the twins: 

Psalm 139:13
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
