Nesting to Resting

Meme and Pop visited this past July 4th weekend.  We had an amazing time.  They drove down and brought all the boys gifts from the baby shower in April.  They were loaded down!  They arrived on a Thursday night and we enjoyed a nice dinner out to eat.  There they felt their first kicks as the boys were on the move at the table.  The following day I had a specialist appointment.  I was excited for them to come along and see their grandbabies.  Our ultrasound tech was awesome.  She quickly turned on the 3D and we were all amazed to see their little faces and bodies.  Baby A was head down and Baby B was lying across and around the top of my stomach.  It wasn't long before she pointed out Baby A's butt was in Baby B's face.  You could see his little butt cheeks.  Haha!  Baby B quickly put up his hands and blocked his face from his brother's shenanigans.

As of now the trend continues where the boys take turns growing; which is a great sign that they are sharing.  "Sharing is caring" is our motto!  Baby B weighed 1 pound 13 ounces and Baby A weighed 1 pound 11 ounces.  When the doctor came in he reviewed their weight and pointed out that they are in the 50th percentile for growth.  He said "This is as good as it gets."  Those words are a wonderful relief for a mom to be.  I have hope that we continue on this path.  Thank you for your continued prayers and support!  The doctor also said that it is time for me to slow down.  No walking for a long distance and to slow down when I do walk.  So what did we do the next day?  We went to SeaWorld.  I walked slowly and of course there were a ton of shows we watched.  We all had a fun day!  Plus, I had an amazing piece of carrot cake :) 

We had already accomplished putting up all of my shower gifts on Friday night.  So Sunday mom, dad, and I ventured out to go shopping for the remaining items on my registry that we needed for when the boys come home.  After a busy day of shopping we brought all the goodies home and finished the boys' room.  It is so cute!  I am so relieved to have that done.  Thanks mom and dad for all of your help!  I'm proud that my hubby and I worked as hard as we did since the timing to slow down is here.  Monday that's what we certainly did.  We took Scoot Dog to the doggy beach at Honeymoon Island.  I got tickled watching MeMe and Pop play with him in the water.  It won't be long before there are two little boys playing on the beach.  I hope they love the water as much as their mommy and daddy does.  That night we watched fireworks down at St. Pete Beach.  It was a perfect ending to a perfect weekend.  Saying our "Goodbye's" the following day was anything but easy.  The craziest part is we realized the next time they visit the boys will be here and I will be a mommy! Wow!

From Nesting to Resting!  Now I need to read, read, read to learn how to take care of these boys and learn the tricks of the trade from other mommies...haha!  I have joined a group called the Tampa Bay Moms of Multiples.  They have a forum where you can ask questions, read others comments, there is a monthly meeting, play dates, and outings for moms.  I'm looking forward to meeting other moms and couples who can relate and provide support.  More than anything I'm getting more and more anxious (not to mention bigger) as the due date gets closer.  It's like I am beginning to see the finish line which is actually just the beginning :)
