Pregnancy photos

27 Week baby bump pictures.

My sister took these pictures Saturday. We had a lot of fun doing them. Enjoy!

Delivery date changed

This week I found out that starting January 1st we will now have a higher deductible and they will add another 10% to our coinsurance. This means it will cost us double what it was to have these babies.

I had my appointment with my OB yesterday and told her about it. We discussed another date and decided on December 24th. At first I wasn't all that excited. The thought of being stuck in the hospital on Christmas Eve, day and the day after did not excited me much, but the more Stephen and I talked about it the more excited we got.

This will be the first year in my whole life that I don't have to worry about rushing from place to place. We usually have 5 places to go to in a span of 2 days. Mind you these places are not next door to eachother they are hours apart. Not this year!!! We will be cozy in our hospital room enjoying the birth of these beautiful babies. Talk about the best Christmas present EVER!

Update on the pregnancy: I had my gestational diabetes test done yesterday. Results are in and it came back negative! YAHOO! I am low on iron which I figured I would be since I crave ice 24/7 and want to sniff dirt and chemicals all the time. WIERD I know! I will add yet another pill to my daily intake making this pill #6. I feel like an old person ha ha ha!

I have gained a total of 15 lbs and feel great! I don't have any major complaints and actually enjoy being pregnant. Of course I have the heartburn, leg cramps, backache and stomach ache from time to time but hey isn't that to be expected? I guess after struggling for so long you welcome all of the above.

I know that I will miss being pregnant. It's funny how people treat you when your pregnant. They all look at you and smile, offer a hand and demand you sit down while they make you a drink. Can it get any better than this? lol Im sure once I have these babies those things will fade and I will be left with two crying babies not knowing what to do and cry myself. There again I will welcome it. Of course some days I will think what did I get myself into? But hey isn't that a part of motherhood?

I have made final decisions on the nursery. After much thought and racking my brain for weeks I have decided to decorate Owen's side with old vintage airplanes. Using rustic reds, yellows, blues, greens etc. Claires side will be decorated with rustic tin flowers, butterflys and birds.
