Updates...
Well, time is starting to run down. I only have about 1 to 3 weeks to go. YEAH!!! I get to meet my daughters soon.
The unfortunate thing is that they are in vernex-breech position, which means that baby a is head down, and baby b is head up. If baby b does not turn, which is not likely, I will probably have them by c-section. I was really hoping to avoid that, but, as long as it means that they will be healthy, that is all I care about.
I also wanted to send a shout-out to my cousin, Josh, in North Carolina. Gary and I wish you all of the best and a speedy recovery. We hope and pray that they got all of the cancer, and can not wait to hear that all is well for you again. Remember, your family is always there for you and we do wish you all of the best. Recover quick, laugh often, love with all of your heart, and always smile.
Alyssa and Sierra, Mommy and Daddy are anxious for you and we have everything ready for you, please get here soon, but more importantly get here safe and healthy. We love you girls, and already are looking forward to the day when we get to hold you in our arms for the first time. At least one week more.

2 weeks and counting...
Well, bedrest is finally upon me. I was just told on Friday that my doctor wanted me to cut back my work schedule from full time to part time. This would have been great, except for the fact that my job does not allow for part time employees... Instead, I get bedrest. Yeah...NOT. Ok, bored does not even begin to cover it. It has only been 2 days, and I am already bored. In many ways I can not wait for the girls to get here just so I will have something to do.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of things that I could be doing, but wanting to do them, or them keeping my mind busy, well, they kind of lack in that area. I have to keep off of my feet as much as possible because they have started to swell if I am on them for too long, and my husband is hovering. Gary is sweet, and I know that he cares, but for my emotional standpoint, I want to be out of bed more, and he pretty much has me strapped down to it. When I am out of the house, which has not been much, he is always watching me. I know that he is just looking out for me, but it is kind of getting on my nerves. Like he is just waiting for the other shoe to drop, or in this case, my water to break.
I talked to him today, and he told me how very excited he is for the babies to get here. He told me that he is not even nervous any more. I am happy to hear that, and want them here as well, I just want to not be under survalence quite so much. He goes to work tomorrow, and in some ways I can not wait. I will miss him and probably be ready for him to come home when he does get here, but I kind of want the peace that will be here as well. I can tell you one thing, it is going to be weird to be at home by myself and not be going to work. I have been working since I was 15, and been in school for what seems like forever. I love multi-tasking and having my plate filled up every day. It keeps me active and happy. To have to completely remove work from that plate leaves too much time in the day to just be wondering what am I going to do.
Well, this week will be filled up with doctors appointments. The non-stress tests have been bumped up to bi-weekly, I have a doctor's appointment, then I still have class on Tuesday nights. Hopefully it will keep me occupied enough that I will not get too bored.
Well, time for bed. Goodnight ya'll.

The End is near...
Well, 4 weeks to go until I will be able to have the girls. This time has been filled with doctors appointments. Not so much at my doctor's office, but everywhere it seems.
I have to start doing Fetal Non-Stress test every week, I still have my ultrasound once a week, and my visits with the doctor are still at every 2 weeks. The good news is that I am still not on bed rest. This is good news because that means that I get more time with my girls when they are born, which I have been told could be as soon as August 28th, but probably no later than the middle of September. Thank goodness that I have made it this far without going on bed rest, but at times now, I think it would be nice. I am tired most of the time, always sore (especially in my back and ribs), and sometimes think that it would be great to just relax. Though I am pretty sure that if I do go on bed rest, that would be great for the first day, then I would be antsy and want to move around again.
I wanted to also let everyone know that Gary and I am very thankful for all of your best wishes, and the gifts that you have bestowed on our girls. We are waiting for the last babyshower (this Friday) before we send out thank you cards, but they should be coming soon.
Thank you again.
Love,
Tabby
