Update on the New Team

I know that I haven't been great at documenting this pregnancy...but let's be honest--it's numbers 3 and 4...they should get used to being neglected right?

FAQ's:

• How do I feel?
• I feel tired of trying to figure out how I feel! I appreciate those who exaggerate (LIE) and tell me how good I look, but I just want to say--really? You don't see that gigantic basketball protruding out of me? Or my face that looks like I've  had an allergic reaction to something?
• Do we have names? 
• NO!
• What's the gender?
• Still 100% 2 girls
• How many weeks are you?
• As of today, I am 32 weeks and 3 days. And yes, those 3 days matter. I am 3 weeks past the time that I had Adam and Rachel...and yes, we are very grateful for that. 
• When are you due??
• I don't know!  Anywhere between 3-38 weeks which puts me right around Thanksgiving. But if I actually make it to 38 weeks it would be a complete miracle. And the chances of going before 36 are high. So I'm just taking it one day at a time. My next hurdle is to make it past all Halloween festivities. After that, I just want to make sure I have my life in order
• Will I have a C-section--yes! My goal is to have it scheduled so I can make arrangements for my kids and do my hair and saunter into the hospital and pretend I am having a spa day instead of major surgery. Plan B...I go into labor early and take a ride in an ambulance to the hospital and then have emergency surgery instead. 
• Will I have help? 
• Yes! That is the one thing I am not worried about. Between our parents, siblings, friends and ward we should have a lot of help. Would it still be good to have more? You bet! 
• How often do you go to the doctor?
• Twice a week for non stress tests...and yes, that might seem a little obsessive, but we don't care 
• Will you be on bed rest? 
• I doubt it unless something dramatic happens. But I may lie about that and pretend just so I can get some more sleep!
• Do you have all of your old baby stuff?
• Yes and no. I do have the majority of it, but I borrowed some and have lost some along the way. The main stuff I need are: diapers, burp cloths, bottles, and twin equipment that will make life easier. 
• Are you planning to breast feed?
• I don't know...next...
• Are Adam and Rachel going to share a room again?
• Not if I can help it, but maybe if it were legal to drug them every night. Actually, the best decision I ever made?  Getting them clocks and telling them they can't get out of bed until it says 8!
• How much do the babies weigh?
• I don't know--somewhere between 3 and 4 lbs...so not big enough yet!

So there you go--and here are my latest pictures--mostly for gma's sake!

Proof that babies can smile...even though this one is a little creepy :)

Preschool

I don't know who is happier to have preschool twice a week--me or the kids. I  love that I have time to myself, and they love getting away from me! And I like that someone else taught them how to write their names and cut with scissors. For some reason, those were skills that I did not have the patience for! We are also thrilled that we get to carpool and be in the same class as their good friend Eden. On the first day, the report I got was positive except for the one complaint of "The kitchen girls said no boys allowed!" And a certain stubborn girl has been accused of not doing her work, but a bribe and a talk with the teacher hopefully cleared that up. So here's to hoping they will have fun and learn some stuff and that I can take some naps! :)

Girls

Rachel is getting me very ready for a life with three girls...we have done hair, nails, and searched the world over for the right clip on earrings. She did my hair for me one day, but we will not be posting a picture of that!
