Hi all,
Well, the doc confirmed for us on Monday that term for twins is 37 weeks, as opposed to 40 weeks with a singleton. SOOO that means that my 'term due date' is actually Feb. 5th, and that they will induce by Feb. 19th at the latest. I'm not sure why the Feb. 26th due date was ever given to us in the first place, but Dan figures it must be a psychological help.....like telling a runner that's expecting to race 12 miles that she only has to run 10 miles.....and letting her know this at mile 9.5! Well, this runner welcomes the news, but is still pretty tuckered out and wants this race over ASAP:) Other than that, we're doing ok here....poor El came down with a cold virus last night and has a fever. I pray it passes quickly.

Waiting......

Thought I'd update ya'll on the girls progress....found out today that they're weighing in at an estimated 6lbs., 8oz. EACH!! These two pics are from two days ago....got ALL KINDS of stretch marks going on, as you can see:)
Didn't purposely cut my face out, just did self-photos with my tripod and this is how they came out....you can imagine a very tired-looking Bri face if you like. With 13+ lbs. of baby inside, just breathing is a high-impact aerobic activity for me these days!! LOL!

Fun with Daddy-O in December

With Mommy being a less 'active' playmate lately, Daddy has been teaching Ella the fine art of enjoying the COLD!! :)

First Key of enjoying the Cold......Bundle Up Warm!!

Here's one of Ella helping Daddy to put up pictures in her sisters' room....such a good helper!

And one of Ella on her favorite horsey....such a handsome horsey he is:)

Ella's 'Twins'--early Dec.

Ella cracked us up when she came out of her room like this and announced, 'These are MY twins in my tummy!' Mommy was jealous when Ella was able to take her twins out within minutes:)

Day after Thanksgiving....getting ready for CHRISTmas!

Ella was a great little elf, very helpful in setting up our Christmas decorations this year....quite a difference from two years ago when we were trying to figure out how to keep her from shoving decorations into her mouth!
