Time flies...memory goes with it!

I can't believe I haven't updated the blog since my last appt yet! For those that regularly read, I apologize...and all is well!

Of course I didn't write down all the stats from my last appointment (on 9/2), so I cannot remember the exact numbers for statistics. Both babies are doing just fine, though, and so am I. My BP has been creeping up a bit, but nothing to worry about yet, so that's good! I still take it twice a day at home and my doc reviews my notes at each appt and he's fine with where they've been. I gained another pound and a half and both babies gained on track, too. I do remember I was 27 weeks at the appt and measured 37 weeks. The doc did say that at this point on I need to really start taking it easy. If I worked outside the home, he'd have me start leave now. Basically, the way he put it, my body could start thinking I'm finished, since I'm measuring the regular size of a regular pregnancy. So, to continue keeping these guys safely in my uterus, I am to take it easier. So far, though, everything is still going pretty well, and I feel pretty good. I do get tired pretty easily and have been getting more uncomfortable, but nothing unbearable...yet!

We are still not quite finished with the nursery, but we're getting there! Allan's new bedroom set is great, and all the nursery furniture is now in the nursery. I've been going through clothes and blankets and, well, everything, to get the room ready. It's coming together day by day and I'm super excited!

Allan started school this week, too. Real preschool. Homework and everything! He's doing well and likes to go. His head teacher is pregnant, and due next month, so he'll have an adjustment when she leaves, but I'm hoping he does well through the transition. He's just so grown up lately...it kills my heart sometimes!

The big news of big help coming is Tom's mom, Gloria, will be coming to stay with us beginning October 1st and will stay until after the babies arrive! This is a HUGE stress relieving thought, since I get a little more concerned about the "what if's" with each passing week. I will be 31 weeks when she gets here, and it'll be a great blessing to have help with daily tasks and especially with Allan during the end of the pregnancy.

That's about all I've got for this update. Sorry it seems a bit lacking. I promise more pictures and more news with the next update! My next appointment is in about a week, on 9/16.
