From my heart to yours: Week Thirty-One

how many weeks: 31 + 4

Hospital stay: Day #11

how big is baby X2: Baby A: 3 pounds 3 ounces Baby B: 4 pounds 3 ounces

weight gain: I haven't stepped on a scale this week. Clearly the hospital has been keeping me way to busy! :)

sleep: two words: AMBIEN ROCKS!

craving: BC Taco time, kents donuts

feeling: Good. Today has been a great day! Woke up this morning to my brother Tom and nephew Logan bringing by breakfast and got to spend most of the day with them. Tom helped me move rooms... YES!! I got moved to a bigger room. It is so great and has windows with snowy mountain top views. Heath is going to be so shocked when he gets home from work. I didn't tell him the awesome news that we got upgraded! I can't wait to see his reaction. We ate lunch together that consisted of leftover mandarin Chinese that my in laws brought last night (best leftovers!) Then we went on a walk around the hospital...well I didn't personally walk, but my sweet brother got quite the work out pushing us THREE around, I'm sure of it. It was so great to feel the warmth of the sun on my face. I miss that! After they left I took a bath in my jetted tub. I use to request baths a few times a week when there was a room with a tub available since my old room just had a walk in shower, but now I have one in my room. Its heaven. My other brother Mark and his wife Janelle brought hot, melt in your mouth cinnamon rolls by and visited for awhile then my cute new friend that I met here in the hospital came by to visit. She just delivered her sweet twin girls last Tuesday and has been talking me through this whole twin pregnancy/mom process. I am so glad I got to meet her. Currently I am watching Elf, eating Doritos, and blogging.

Appointments this week: Saw the specialist Thursday. Had a lot of questions regarding delivery. We have a baby date!!! February 11 is our scheduled C-section day "tentatively" if nothing changes between now and then. Growths look good on both boys and the best news from the ultrasound is that they have hair!!! You could see the fuzz on their little heads. I'm getting so excited to meet these little guys! And HAIR?!?! I love babies with hair!

gender: All things BLUE!

best moment of the week: Getting my IV taken out! (today) and/or moving rooms has got to be high on the list! I feel refreshed and rejuvenated! I totally got this!

Other top moments:

- had maternity pics taken yesterday by my sweet brother in law that came all the way from Cache Valley! My dear friends Candice and Erin came and did my hair and makeup. I couldn't have done it without them!

-Jill's taco soup (my favorite!)

- Jenny saving the day bringing me all the maternity clothes she had so that I could have something other than sweats to wear for my maternity pictures.

- Getting Shellac toes by Amy and having a girls night!

-All the visitors this week! I haven't even read a book yet. I told Heath today that it's kind of fun being here because I get to visit with so many people without any distractions. We have had so many great chats with my mom, heaths parents, our siblings, friends, ward members, nurses, new hospital friends, etc.

- not having to do laundry. Everyone that knows me knows that I HATE DOING LAUNDRY!! My mom has been trotting around picking up dirty laundry and bring back clean laundry. It's the greatest! Thanks Mom!

worst moment of the week: We had a little scare Friday night while I was getting monitored. I started having contractions that were frequent and pretty intense. After consulting with the doctor the nurse administered a shot that is used to stop contractions. I forgot the name. They went away, but shortly came back later that night, or should I say earlier that morning. I had to get an IV so that we would be ready for an emergency surgery if needed. Luckily they stopped and babies are still in my tummy.

looking forward to: WEDNESDAY! THIRTY-TWO week mark.

random thoughts:

- My cousin Katie sent me the cutest picture of newborn twin boys. I haven't stopped looking at pictures of twin babies since!

- It's getting more and more real that I won't be leaving the hospital until we are parents, but I don't think it will really hit until Boston and Mason are here.

- Will this be my last weekly update?!?
