henna tummy

Long time no blog! We are all moved in and I retook the fetal fibernectum (sp??) test and it's a negative. We are not going into labor within the next two weeks! Two pieces of good news. But we do not have internet set up yet so I haven't had time to blog at all...so sad. Anyway, I just wanted to show you how cute my tummy turned out. Jaylin did this free hand just by looking at a picture online and it lasted about a week and a half. I loved it. The boys loved it and always would ask to see my tattoo. I did have a little talk with them about how it is fake and we don't get real tattoos and it will wash off, etc. I will try to blog some more when I get to my brother's for Christmas!

A couple of updates and such

So my babies are both 2 lbs 10 oz and in the 35th percentile. They told me with twins they HOPE for anything between 20-40th percentile so ours are doing really well. Also it's very rare that both babies have the exact same weight but ours do. I'm still on my prescription and have been off my feet ALMOST completely so I haven't had anymore contractions in a couple of days: more good news. And finally, Scarlett is breech and has moved to the right side and her brother has dropped down on the left head first. So the big hope now is that she'll either turn around OR he'll just shove her out of the way and get into baby A position. As long as "baby A" (closest to the cervix) is head down we're good to go. If baby A is breech they will do a c-section no matter what.

Joel and Emily have worked so hard on our new place and it's almost ready to be moved into. I owe them both big time. We're so excited about our place and it's been such a huge blessing for us. The extra space is definitely much needed but we are soooo sad to leave this ward that we love so much. We will definitely be back for a visit with our babes.

LeDawn is still awesome. She's doing the curtains for the kids rooms, reupholstering my glider, making one more "hooter hider" (i like to call it that) and since I've decided I'm NOT gonna do a Christmas card this year AND a change of address card AND a baby announcement probably sometime in early January, she's going to help me make custom baby announcements. If it wasn't for her I would say, "Don't expect much" but she is just amazing at what she does so I think they're gonna be pretty dang cute! And it will probably be a family picture and not just one of the babies. That way you can tell me who you think these kids look like. :D

Ok, sorry no pictures but I'll get some up soon of the tummy & new place! OH! and Jaylin is gonna give me a henna tattoo on my belly since I'm on "bedrest" and sitting around doing nothing. I've been really excited about this ever since my mom read that article about water taking on the characteristics of its container. For a while she wrote LOVE on all her glasses so when we drank our water it would be better and it was! So since my body is mostly water I want my babies swimming around in good, positive water. Does that sound weird? It sounds more weird now that I'm writing it but I'm really excited so yeah!
