Three day countdown...
So in three days..... Lynn and I will be the parents of two! Wow! Doesn't seem possible. We are starting our countdown with our friends Sarah and David. Sarah and I were originally due two days apart Oct. 12th and Oct. 14th! This was so exciting to us during the entire pregnancy, but we really didn't expect to actually have our babies close to the same day because we were expecting twins. We were wrong. Sarah was diagnosed with preeclampsia and is going into the hospital tonight to be induced for labor. We are so excited about Baby Thompson and can't wait for him to get here! We decided that even though I'm on bedrest and she is not in the best shape.....we still needed one more night out. Last night the four of us celebrated at Folk's Folly. This is probably our last date night for a long, long, long time.
It has been so much fun sharing this whole experience together!

Moms of Multiples
So the few times that I have been out lately, I have been harassed by the public~ who loves a pregnant lady. I will admit that at first - I loved it. I loved explaining that I grew up with twin cousins and they run on my Grandmother's side of the family, and I loved hearing other people's experience with twins.
I'm totally over it. It's amazing how many people have looked at me and said, "Girl, you have got to be having twins." Basically they are saying ....."You are HUGE."
Which I am. I'm a spectacle, but who just says that? I'm sure that this will not end after pregnancy. Probably only get worse as I get out my big honkin stroller that barely fits through the doorway. Yesterday I was reading another blog and came across this youtube and almost peed in my pants.

Nesting....
Well, I have been nesting in full swing these days. We just finished the nursery this weekend and all I can say is ..... it's very ...... pink.
Every time I walk by the nursery I think of Steel Magnolias..........
What are your colors Shelby?
They're Blush and Bashful.
Her colors are Pink and Pink.
My colors are BLUSH and BASHFUL.
I have chosen two shades of pink, one is much deeper than the other.
The sanctuary looks like it's been hosed down with Pepto-Bismol......
I like Pink. It's my signature color.
I love that movie!~
This is Sadie and Sophie's nursery:
It's a very small room with horrible paneling. So, we just tried to make the most of it. The room is mostly pink, cream, with a little blue. We have two Jenny Lind cribs that were painted, rocker and glider, small changing table, and a blue distressed dressing table. The two canvases were painted by a family friend who is an artist- they are personalized with their names and crowns~ which is fitting for our two little princesses.
Above the changing table are four framed pictures of vintage barbie dolls- dressed in pink. :)
Counting down the days.....

Looking Forward To....
I'm looking forward to.....
1. Seeing Sadie and Sophie's faces!
We have had so many ultrasounds, but the pictures are still distorted. I can't wait to see them! I have a feeling they are going to have blonde hair and look a little like me and a little like Lynn.
2. Sleeping on my stomach.
As if I'm going to be sleeping that much anyway..... I haven't slept very well since my belly started growing. I'm a stomach sleeper and can't wait to get some good sleep!
3. Coffee-
During my pregnancy, I have had my share of caffeine. I make really weak coffee or drink one soda a day....... and sometimes both. I can't wait to make a really strong cup of coffee with lots of creamer and sugar and sit out on the porch in the morning and slowly drink it.......... OK, probably won't be doing a lot of that either.
4. Walking/Running- the past few weeks I have been on bed rest. Before that, it was too hot outside to even think about going for a run/walk. I only did pregnancy videos in my living room. I can't wait to get outside and get some fresh air!
5. Dates with my husband-
I can't wait to get dressed up and go out with Lynn.
6. Not crying about everything. I'm hoping that my hormones will return to normal.
7. Not peeing every 15 minutes.
8. Taking a hot steamy bath.
9. Taking the maternity clothes out of my closet and not looking at them for a long time.
10. Wearing heels again.
The past 34 weeks have been very memorable and exciting! Even though being pregnant is not always a joy ride, it is such a small price to pay for two sweet babies. God has blessed us so much and are humbled at this opportunity!

34 Weeks!
Yes, I'm still on bedrest, but I HAD to get out of the house for just a little while. On Saturday night, Lynn and I ate dinner at our friend Sarah & David's house.
Sarah is 35 weeks pregnant, so we had the AC cranked!

Bedrest!
Well after a great weekend..... I wrapped Sunday up with a visit to the hospital. Last week was very busy for me and I felt pretty crappy with some contractions and some back aching. So, on Friday I explained this to my Dr. and she went ahead and checked me just in case I might be starting the labor process. We found out that I was dilated 1 cm which is no big deal .....but to call or come back and see her if I start to feel any different.
Well.... Sunday night I started to have more contractions and called a friend that is an OBGYN and she told me to go ahead and go to the hospital just to make sure. Well after staying there for three or four hours, they gave me an IV and a shot that stops contractions. They wanted me to follow- up the next day at my Dr.'s office. So that is just what I did. Still feeling pretty bad, I went to the Dr. and they hooked me up to monitors. We found out that I was still contracting every five minutes and I was sent back to the hospital for monitoring. Long story short.... I stayed for 24 hours and was sent home on bed rest.
I must say, as much as I hate "resting" , it has done a lot of good. I started to feel a little better and have even been sleeping better at night. I'm still not finished with the nursery but getting there. I'm waiting on the bedding and curtains, and then we should be able to wrap it up. My mom and mother-in-law have helped get everything ready from last minute purchases to getting my "bags" ready!
I go back to the Dr on Thursday for another ultrasound and check-up! Can't wait to hear how I'm progressing!

Memphis Shower
This past weekend Lynn's family hosted a beautiful shower for me! It was such a fun day filled with lots of family, food, and baby! 
Since it would have taken me all day to open up the gifts at the shower, we waited until later that afternoon to open the rest! Some friends and family came over and helped organize and "put away". I'm so appreciative of everyone that has helped me during my pregnancy! God has truly blessed me with wonderful friends and family!
