This morning Brenda had another appointment with the doctor. A C-Section delivery is now scheduled for December 31st, however even the doctor said she could deliver any day now,  and would not likely make it to the 31st.

I still stay next week is the week! At that point they will be over 7 lbs. each. You can really feel how large they are now just by touching her stomach, and last night I was able to play with one of them a little. Every time I pushed on his leg he would move it, so I kept following his leg and gently pushed on it. He told me he liked it.

Brenda has had no problems with gestational diabetes, and her blood pressure has been very good all through the pregnancy. All in all she’s had a very healthy pregnancy, especially for having twins. Normally multiple pregnancies have more complications.

We’ll find out soon enough I guess.

Brenda is still doing very well with the twin boys. She’s still getting around OK and we were able to run some errands this weekend together and also go out for dinner. That’s a marathon day for her!

We’ve decided to hold off on buying a van for another 3-6 months. Since Brenda will not be working at the office (and generating income at the office) we just want to be sure things are not going to get too tight with another vehicle payment. My guess is by the summer things will have adjusted fine and we’ll get it then. I’m probably going to have to get a full time replacement for her early next year.

This weekend I assembled a few other baby related items, did some minor home repairs, and gutted the laundry room to get rid of just too many things that had built up over the years (do you really need receipts that are 14 years old??). Since our house is small, I’m really trying to make the best use of the space we do have. By the end of the day (very end) I had thrown out several bags of garbage, an old dresser and countless other items, and assembled 3 new shelving units and organized what was left. So not only is there more space for future storage, but it’s a whole lot cleaner!

NAMES

Although we’ve been pretty close for awhile, we finally 100% agreed on the names for both boys, and even assigned one to baby A, and one to baby B. They are not in a sealed gold envelope and will be announced once they enter the world.

It’s a very busy week for me with lots of edits and a few meetings as well. Brenda’s main job right now is to RELAX and keep the buns in the oven until they’re good and ready!

My money is still on a week 36 birth. We’ll find out soon enough. At this point, any day is possible!

Stay tuned!
