Celebrating Babies

Don't worry, they're not here yet but we had a nice celebration for the twins this past weekend.  The aunty's threw a beautiful shower at our house which was so nice.  It took some explaining for Esme to understand what a baby shower was.  She enjoyed helping open the gifts and to play with all her girl cousins too.

Amazing decorations and great backdrop for the shower!

Yummy dessert bar for the girls!

We made a wish and two came true :)

Thanks family for the shower!

Esme checking out the new girl clothes.

Esme continues to go with me every Monday afternoon for my non-stress tests at the hospital.  I get admitted and situated in a room.  She's so used to the drill now that as soon as I lay down in the bed she knows to lift my t-shirt up in order to expose my belly and help the nurse strap the monitors on.  She also likes to hold the button to click whenever the babies move.  Of course I have to tell her when but she loves being my big helper.  It usually lasts less than an hour in which we read, do her homework and if we have time then watch some PBS kids.  The nurses tell me that I usually have 2-3 contractions during the visit but I can never feel them so my OB said not to worry.  Last week though the visit got extended for a few hours because one of the babies heart rates dropped below 100 and so they had to monitor me for longer.  Luckily it didn't happen again and they were able to discharge me that evening.  It was a little scary since I know it's possible that they could be here at any minute.  Next week Tuesday we have an ultrasound to check their growth so that'll be interesting.

As of right now I'm planning to work until Friday April 1st and then take leave but we'll see what the girls have planned.  At most I'm tired at the end of the day and my feet hurt off and on but that's it.  Not a whole lot to complain about and for that I'm super thankful!

Thanks to Aunty B I actually did a maternity photo shoot with her last weekend also.  It was such a great idea and the pics came out awesome.  I'm so glad I have them to look back on this amazing twin pregnancy adventure.  Here's just a few of the shots we got.
Not much room left in my lap these days. 

It's all baby in there!
