33 Weeks
So excited, I just returned from the doctor for my 33 week checkup. Everything looked great. Foster weighted 4lbs 3oz and Anna Kate weighted 4lbs 9oz. Anna Kate has flipped and now is head up. Foster is still head down. Hopefully she will turn soon before delivery- if not the doctor said I may require a c-section. I guess we will have to wait and see. The babies are gaining roughly 1/2 pound a week. I am so excited and can't wait to meet them!!
I am doing really well. It is difficult to get comfortable and I am tired a lot but that can be expected when carrying 9 pounds of baby. I am still swelling but drink a gallon of water a day to help with that. My fingers also ache really bad but I think that is related to the water retention. Overall, I am perfect and it is nothing that I can't handle.

Happy Anniversay
Happy Anniversary to my amazing husband!! Today is our 4 year anniverary. I can't believe we have been married for 4 YEARS! It is unbelievable to me. We decided to stay in for dinner since I am uncomfortable at night we had a wonderful dinner. Jason wrote me the sweetest love note and I will cherish it always!
Unfortunately I didn't get him a card to celebrate. Yes I am a horrible wife. While on my way to town to pick up some medicine and a card, I wrecked my car. Yes on me to wreck my car at 32 weeks pregnant. Since becoming pregnant, I have tried to be so careful and then I wreck. I was on Highway 90 and a SUV suddenly stopped in front of me. I swerved and tried to miss the SUV but didn't. The front end of my car was smashed. The car wasn't drivable so Jason had to come pick me up. He told me that between wrecking and fainting that he may not survive my pregnancy. Poor guy- I know it seems like it is always something.
I posted some photos below of our wedding day and honeymoon. I am such a lucky girl!

31 Weeks
Today was my checkup with the doctor. I look forward to seeing the babies every 2 weeks. Mom came with me. I still don't like going along in case something isn't right. Anna Kate measured 3 lbs 7 oz and Foster measured 3 lbs 6 oz. He must have hit a growth spurt over the past 2 weeks. I am happy that he is catching up with Anna Kate. Below are their current measurements:
Foster:
I measured 35 weeks but feel like I am huge! I asked the doctor when he would induce me if for some reason I did not go into labor. He said he would induce me at 38-39 weeks. I almost hit the floor. I am so uncomfortable that I didn't think another 8 weeks was possible. Needless to say I am still in shock. I want to do what is best for the babies but I don't know that my body will last another 8 weeks!
The babies were both head down this week which is great. It was so sweet to see them back to back. I feel like they already know each other. They are much more active now. All 4 feet are near my ribs and move constantly (or at least it feels like they are always moving).
Everything has been going perfect for Jason and I. We have been taking it easy on the weekends and working around the house in preparation for the babies. I still haven't had a food craving and pretty much eat anything. I battle everyday with my body to consume a gallon of water. It is so difficult. Actually I have to make myself drink it because all I want to drink is decaffeinated tea made with sugar. I love sweet tea right now!
I finally remembered to take a photo of the belly bump last week. I am going to try to remember to take a photo a week to keep up with my progress.
Foster:
- Pulse- 138
- Head Circumference- 28.58
- Femur Length- 5.78
- Weight 3lbs 6oz
Anna Kate:
- Pulse- 153
- Head Circumference- 28.05
- Femur Length- 5.80
- Weight 3lbs 7oz

Happy 80th Birthday
My PawPaw Jack turned 80 years old today. All of the family went over to his house to celebrate. We had a great time. He couldn't believe that he was actually turning 80! He had his first heart attack in his early 50's and wasn't given long to live but he has. I guess exercising has helped! He is faithful to either walking or swimming 3 days a week.
