Happy 4th Birthday Caidy!




It was great to celebrate Caidy's 4th birthday! She was so excited and spent days before hand making lists with Leah about what she wanted at her birthday! All in all it was great, she was spoiled rotten and loved by so many people! I am so proud of my baby girl and so excited about the beautiful, witty, fun loving girl she is growing into!!

The twins!


Well here I am at 33 weeks! Crazy to think about how quickly this pregnancy is going by. I had an ultra sound today and the tech measured the babies femurs, stomachs and head circumference to estimate their sizes. I was shocked at how big they are already! Baby A, our girl, is estimated at 4 lbs 10 oz. Our baby B, the boy, is estimated at 5 lbs 8 oz!! That is huge! Not only am I carrying the 10 lbs of baby, each placenta is 2 lbs, there is most likely 2-4 of fluid, so 18 lbs in my stomach alone and the rest of the 27 lbs I have gained is all in my face! :)
I am getting very excited for them to make their appearance, although I still have so much to do to prepare. I still haven't gotten the shelves or dresser to house the babies clothes. This has been a 3-4 week battle with every idea of mine being ruined by either time or our own stupidity! We bought what we thought was a dresser from Costco, only to find out we only bought the drawers! Who does that!! I think both James and I have pregnancy brain! Then the shelves for the closet are being made by a friend of ours and I think we regretted to inform our single guy friend that you need to have things ready BEFORE the babies arrive and not whenever it suits you! ;)
I think other than those minor things we will be ready! On monday I have an appt with my OB to talk about a birth plan and maybe if I need to stay in the Vancouver area until these little ones decide to make an appearance. I am really struggling with not being able to have things planned out. I always knew I was a control freak, of sorts, but this is pushing me way to far! I really feel like a fool for having nothing planned, and as soon as I think I do, something happens to throw all the plans out the window! Hmmm maybe a lesson to be learnt there, not sure! ;)
