So close!

I’m currently now 35 weeks and we are taking bets on when our boys will come. Eric thinks the day before Thanksgiving and I’m thinking December something. I would like to keep them cooking for as long as possible but who knows. They truly are so different from each other. Righty is an animal. Lefty is more of a sweetie/sissy. I’d say the kick ratio of Lefty to Righty (the one on my left, the one on my right) is literally 1:40 respectively. Feeling them kick is my favorite thing. I could waste away my day just staring at it. Eric loves to taunt them. I’ve been going to 2 stress tests a week and 1 ultrasound a week for a while now. Eric stopped coming because they just quickly measure their fluids and kick me out. And the stress tests always have the same results: they are doing so great! The stress tests are taking quite a while because of how active they are- they have the hardest time getting both heartbeats because they move around so much. One nurse came in and said “I can hear them kicking the monitors from the hall!” It usually takes 2-3 nurses each time to find both heartbeats because someone will give up and pass it on to someone else. I have tons of ultra sound pics but who can tell the difference from a googled ultra sound and my own? Here is a pic...
I’m huge. One lady at TJMAXX came up and said “moms gonna pop! How much longer?” I told her about 4 weeks and she was like “no way! It looks like you’re having twins or something!”

We have been so lucky to have the pregnancy go so easy. I’m still teaching and on my feet all the time and the boys are growing so much- their heads are even measuring 2-3 weeks ahead. They must have gotten that from Eric! They are probably over 5 pounds now. It’s crazy to think that we only have 3 weeks left. As we sat in church Eric told me that it will only be us 2 at church for 2 or 3 more Sundays now. We are so ready and so not for them to come. It has been SOOO fun to buy them matching outfits and double of everything. We have been gifted so much and have been so lucky. These boys have more clothes than any baby I know. We can barely shut the door on our storage unit.

We don’t have names yet. I don’t know which is worse: heartburn/vomiting or choosing names. Still not sure on how they are coming (c-section or not). I know for sure drugs will be involved.

And now for some pics I found on the camera:

We got all sports passes for the first time and love going to all the games.

This is Eric bundled up for the latest football game.

Some halloween decor we put outside our apartment.

My never-failing loving mother sent us a HUGE halloween package with all our favorite treats- and some extras.
