Bear Hugs
I told Grace last night to give Cole a bear hug, so she went & got her bear & made it hug Cole. Not exactly what I meant but so cute! I love the way toddlers think sometimes!

Dance Time
On Wednesday Grace had gymnastics and dance! Gymnastics went well, except for the 2nd week in a row I've thought I was going to pass out. Cole and I decided that Wednesday was probably the last gymnastic class I should attend. I guess the standing for 45 minutes is just to much for me now. This makes me really sad because I love watching her progress each week, but I know it's better for both me and the babies.
After gymnastics we came home, had lunch, then got ready for her first dance class. I was still feeling really crappy from gymnastics and I had to go to the Dr.'s after dance, so we decided that Cole would take Grace to dance while I stayed home. Of course before she left for class I snapped a few pictures of my cute little dancer!

So excited!
She was so happy she finally got to wear her new dance shoes.
And because she's goofy, she decided to pretend she was sleeping, while I was taking pictures.
Cole said she did good at dance. There are 7 kids in her dance class, 3 were older and have done dance before she they knew what they were doing; the other 3 clung to their parents; and Grace was in the middle. She didn't cling to Cole or cry for him (the parents are supposed to wait outside of the room, but because it was the first class they let them sit in because they didn't know how the kids would react) but she did kind of cling to the teacher. I guess she was quiet and followed direction but stayed close to the teacher. I don't know everything they did at class but Grace showed me they hopped and walked on their tip toes.
32 Weeks
Wow, 32 weeks! I had a Dr.'s appointment on Wednesday, things look good. My bp was a little high (140/78) but my OB wants to wait and see what it is next week, before she decides to increase my meds. I'm feeling AWFUL! Everything hurts and all my symptoms have returned ten fold. My OB reassured me that this is all normal and reminded me that even though I'm only 32 weeks pregnant with twins, that's the equivalent of being 40 + weeks pregnant with a singleton baby, so my body things I'm getting toward the end of my pregnancy. Which means everything hurts and feels awful. I'm always on the verge of tears all day long, it's exhausting. My OB said she feels so bad for me so she's going to see if the hospital will allow her to schedule my c/s for 38 weeks, they usually won't let you schedule anything before 39 weeks, but she's really going to try to push for me. Hopefully at our appointment next week we'll get an answer.
Yesterday morning I went to L&D for my 1st NST (non-stress test). I will go every week for a NST just to check-up on the babies. The babies did great yesterday, but my nurse was not happy at all! She was so mean to me, which had me on the verge of tears the whole time. She was pissed that she had do do my NST and that it was twins. She even said "Twins!? Are you serious? Are they hard to put on the monitor (sigh)!'
Whoa, way to ruin my experience lady! Fortunately they were very easy to find and cooperated very well! My OB happened to be doing rounds while I was there so she came in to check on me. My bp was 128/78, but I was laying down, so we'll see what it is next week. She was very impressed with how well the babies were doing. The babies passed after 20 minutes and I was allowed to go home. Something about being in L&D hooked up to monitors that suddenly made this all seem so real, and made me so nervous!
My 24 hour urine came back fine, so all my symptoms are just because of the stress of 2 babies, not pre-eclampsia, thankfully.
How Far Along? 32 weeks
Maternity Clothes? Yes
Weight Gain? 32 pounds
Stretch Marks? Yes, getting more every day!
Sleep? not sleeping at all! I actually had to have Cole come home early yesterday b/c I was so tired that I was a mess. I was sobbing and could not get Grace to nap. Luckily he came home and watched Grace while I napped. I'm telling you I'm a mess these days, the hormones, the tears, the lack of sleep, the pain, the headaches, they just all get the best of me.
Best Moment of the Week? Hearing I passed my 24hour urine. I was so nervous that I was starting to develop pre-e just because I've been feeling so awful lately, but thankfully it's just all normal.
Genders? A boy and a girl...Coleman Carter and Emily Katherine
Belly Button In or Out? neither, it's flat & so sore.
yup that little line is my belly button!
Cravings? I really have been craving baked breads..blueberry,banana, cinnamon. I also really want some fruit snacks or gushers.
What I Miss? sleeping, breathing, being able to move, being able to play with Grace, being able to control my emotions. walking
What I Love? Feeling both babies move, watching Grace talk to the babies!
What I Am Looking Forward to This Week? Grace's birthday is Monday! How is she almost 2!
Milestones? 32 weeks down, only 4-7 weeks left!
Feeling the Babies Move? I feel Carter more then Emma these days. Emma is so low that she really has no room to move. At my appointment on Wednesday she was so low in my pelvis that you can barely see her head now on the u/s, yikes! This is probably why I can barely walk these days. Carter has flipped once again and is head down. All his flip flopping makes for lots of moving. He's head down, but no were near as low as Emma. Emma is determined to be the first one out, Carter on the other hand couldn't care less. He's the "laid back baby" as my OB refers to him.
Other Thoughts? I'm just so happy and thankful to have made it this far. Keep growing babies!

31 Weeks
I know I'm late in posting again, i've just been feeling so crappy lately. I suddenly feel SUPER pregnant. I tried to go to the mall Saturday with Cole & Grace....huge fail! I couldn't walk! After one store I was completely spent. My pelvis hurts so bad that I could barely move my legs, yikes! When did this happen? I'm so emotional now and have cried at least 3 times every day since Thursday, poor Cole! I feel so bad for Grace to, I cry a lot during the day now as well. I cry when she won't listen, I cry when I can't get down and play with her, I just feel so bad. She's so sweet though, whenever I cry she wipes my tears and says "Mama's sad' while she wipes my tears, then she gives me a huge hug and kiss. This usually makes me cry harderd because I feel so guily that I'm changing her life drastically! I've just basically reached that point in poregnancy where you can't sleep, eat, or move. I really hope these next few weeks fly by!
How Far Along? 31 weeks 3 days
Maternity Clothes? Yes
Weight Gain? 30 pounds
Stretch Marks? Yes, they were light, but the past few days bright red ones have been popping up.
Sleep? not sleeping at all! I look forward to when the twins come, a hour of sleep here or there would be such an improvement from the lack of sleep I'm getting now.
Best Moment of the Week? watching the babies move!
Genders? A boy and a girl...Coleman Carter and Emily Katherine
Belly Button In or Out? It's beginning to come out & is so sensitive!
Cravings? I really have been craving baked breads..blueberry,banana, cinnamon. I also really want some fruit snacks or gushers.
What I Miss? sleeping, breathing, being able to move, being able to play with Grace, being able to control my emotions.
What I Love? Feeling both babies move, watching Grace talk to the babies!
What I Am Looking Forward to This Week? We will get the results of my 24 hr urine this week, plus we have a Dr's appointment & a NST at the hospital. I look forward to having all these checks just as reassurance that everyone looks good.
Milestones? 31 weeks down, 5-8 weeks left! Now that it's September I can say that we are having our babies NEXT month...crazy!
Feeling the Babies Move? Yup!

Dr.'s Appointment
I had my 30 week appt. today, my bp looks good and I'm now up 30 pounds, yikes! My OB wants me to do another 24 hour urine, just to make sure I'm not showing signs of Pre-E, like I did with DD. Starting next week we'll see the OB weekly, have a NST weekly, and an u/s every 3-4weeks, yikes! My OB wants me to spread out my appointments so that I'm being seen more often, which means 2-3 appointmennts a week. I'm very happy they're staying on top of things, just trying to squeeze all the appointments makes things a little crazy, but it will be totally worth it.
We're very thankful for another good appointment. At 30 weeks with Grace my bp was really high and I was put on bedrest. Today my bp was 110/68...yay!
As a side note Grace started up gymnastics today and was so happy to be back there! We start dance next Wednesday!!
