remember in my last several posts, when i said i will try to update more often? well, that was a lie. i haven't even been trying. one post every few months is sufficient, right? now that it is almost been four months since my last post, i figured it is about time for a new one.
the babies are still a'growin away in my belly. which means i'm still growing, and not just in my belly. my mom sent me some maternity clothes when i announced i was pregnant at around 12 weeks. i tried them on, and they were huge baggy shirts that i thought i would never ever in a million years fit into. now they are too small. pregnancy is fun and all, but i'm ready to sleep on my back and breath at the same time again. i'm also excited to sleep again (which probably won't be happening for the next several years), and to see my toes when i stand up. i love watching the babies poke around and kick my stomach, but i'm very anxious to see them in real life. i can't wait to hold them and love on them.
the good news, no, the greatest news is that they are making their grand entrance on september 7th! that is when my doctor scheduled my c section. we'll be just about 38 weeks along. the babies are in funky positions, so a c section it is. and i'm totally ok with that. whatever is best for my babes is best for me. i'm actually pretty impressed with myself. i've made it 36 weeks, and have had no major signs of preterm labor. i haven't been put on bedrest, i can still go out and do some things, and i haven't gone crazy yet (you may want andrew's opinion on the last one)!!! so, despite my complaining, things have been going pretty good so far. the longer the babies can stay in the healthier they'll be when they come out. and about these little babies-they kick and wiggle and karate chop the heck out of me. but i love it. sometimes it is uncomfortable when they start their own little dance party at the same time, but i'll take it! did i ever mention they have names? they do. austin and avery. cute, huh?
enough baby talk (yeah, right. now i understand why people talk about their kids so much), but i GRADUATED from BYU!!! i never thought this day would come. it took me five years to get my degree, but hey, i did it nonetheless! and i took a year off, so technically i graduated on time, sort of. it feels good to be done, but now that my cute husband is getting ready to start back up next week, i kind of wish i was going back, too. i'm sure i'll get over this feeling quickly, hopefully by september 7th! i'm sure i'll have my hands full then. i also no longer work, since i worked at BYU and graduated i couldn't keep my student position. oh yeah, i'm also enormously pregnant-i acted much more like a paper weight in the office than a productive employee. but i also kind of miss going to work, or maybe i just miss having something to do during the days. again, i'm sure i'll have plenty to do very soon.
andrew. my dear husband who is so wonderful. how he puts up with me i'll never know, but he is great. he starts school back up next week, and i think he's pretty excited about it. he's taking a full load of classes, and is still planning on working full time at petersen medical where he does medical billing, i think...on top of that he is also going to be a daddy to newborn twins and a husband to yours truly (and that takes alot of work!). this guy is AMAZING! i love him so much and i think our kids are pretty lucky to have a dad like him. i am very blessed.
and that pretty much sums up our summer. babies. we also did other things besides being pregnant like going camping, taking a trip home to california to see family and friends, and having my family come out to visit. i'll post pictures when i finally upload them from my camera. if you've read this far congratulations! i really really want to be a better blogger, but let's face it folks, i'm terrible. maybe when the babies come i'll be better. i'll definitely have more pics to post!
