45 1/2 inches

Sorry for the month long drought in blog posts! I have been very busy between trying to finish everything for the babies and trying to get as much rest as possible at the same time. We are in the home stretch now and everything looks great. My most recent doctors appointment the twins heartbeats were perfect and I am still growing which means they are growing! I am now measuring OVER 40 weeks! So I am officially the size of someone who would have already delivered their singleton baby! Luckily I am still feeling good and although I am certainly feeling the discomforts of the end of pregnancy, my weight gain has not been to extreme for twins so I feel like I can make it several more weeks just fine!

We have not had another ultrasound since my last post but it is scheduled for next week. I am praying that the babies are still on track for their growth and no complications are found. I will keep you updated!

So as for what I have been up to in between staying off my feet... organizing and decorating. LOTS of it. I am happy to say the babies rooms are finished and we have everything we need. (and more!) So here are some pictures of our preparations for babies!

We were so incredibly blessed by SO MANY PEOPLE in preparing for these two little ones. Thanks again to everyone who showered us with love and things for the twins. We feel so prepared and appreciate the generosity of everyone who gave to us so selflessly! We love you all!

I am so very excited to meet our babies and now that the work is finished...we wait. The babies need to stay put for at least another week and will not stay in past December 16th. So the big day is around the corner! Stay tuned for more updates! :)
