37 Weeks

So, there is no progression. The babies are very comfortable in me and don't want to come out yet. I was a little dissapointed at first because everyone said that full term for twins is 37 weeks, so that is what i was expecting at the most. It is in the 100's everyday here and i am measuring 48 centimeters, so i am super uncomfortable. But my doctor wants me to go all the way to 39 weeks if the babies will stay in. He said most don't make it past 35, and 37 is a blessing, so 39 is terrific! So i choose to focus on the possitive. They will be very healthy and big. My babies are estimated to weigh over 6.5 pounds each so far. My C-section date is set for July 9th because baby A is breech and hasn't got much chance of moving. Everything is looking good and i hardly have any contractions, so i most likely am having them on that day. Please wish me luck with the major surgery! I can't wait to see my babies!! Only 1 1/2 weeks left.

35+ Weeks!

I am currently over 35 weeks pregnant! Last week we had our last major ultrasound and they were estimating our babies to weigh over 5 pounds each, which is right on for the growth of a single pregnancy! Our doctors are optamistic that we could even go as for as 39 weeks if we wish(not sure my hips can take it, though). If we go that far, our babies could weigh up to 6.5-7 pounds each! The ultrasounds start to look more like white blurs by this point because the bones are getting denser and so we didn't get any good pictures. But everything is still going well and progressing nicely. I was measuring 43 centimeters(single preg. only go to 40). I'm to the point where I am miserably uncomfortable most of the time, so these next few weeks are bound to go by terribly slow. The babies still haven't made up their minds which possition they want to be in but they are still always moving around, so i am still hoping for a vaginal delivery. Wish me luck either way.
(p.s. how do you like my "tiger stripes"?)

Good Luck Aunt Sandra and Uncle Dan

Clifford's Aunt and Uncle recently left to serve a Mission, for our church, in Russia. We went to their farewell before they left and spent a really nice day visiting with family. We are going to miss them but we wish them all the best and we really appreciate what good role-models they are to all around them.

Family Time

We had a family get-together with alot of Clifford's family. His brother and sister-in-law were in town and so were lots of his cousins and his Aunts and Uncles live near by so we took advantage of family being close and invited everyone to a pizza party. It was so good to visit with family, i really feel like I have always been a part of this great family.

4 years of Joy

We recently celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary! I can't believe how fast the years are moving. Married life has been so wonderful for me because I found the man who was meant for me and we love and respect each other. We talk about everything in our lives and work out disagreements and work together in our parenting. Clifford is the best husband for me and he makes me happy just by being who he is. He make me so proud by working so hard on his schooling and he only has a few classes left until he earns his associates degree. He helps me in every way possible and is always by my side when I need him. He is the best father and Lilly can be such a daddy's girl. We are enjoying every second together and we look forward to many many more years together for all eternity!
