The Waiting Game

I can't believe I am still pregnant. I thought for sure these babies would be here by now. The waiting is driving me nuts! I have a c-section scheduled for Thursday, which seems sooooo far away. I don't have anything else interesting to blog about because the waiting is consuming me. In the meantime, here is a cute pic of my Joey:

The Big Brother

Since my belly started growing we of course told Joey that was where the babies were, and he would point and occasionally kiss the belly when prompted, etc. But I never really feel like he cared or paid much attention to my growing midsection. Until today. This morning we were playing on the floor and he kept bringing me books to read him. I guess he started to notice that my lap had run out of room for him to sit comfortably on while I read to him, so he started to point to my belly and say baby. Then he did the cutest thing... he took his binkie and tried to give it to the babies. Then he went and found his blankie, laid it across my belly and gave the belly a big hug. It was so cute, totally innocent, and completely unprompted by me. Hopefully he'll be this lovey and sweet when the babies come! (yes, I know that is a crazy thought and totally unrealistic, but a girl can dream...)

Amazed

Joey totally amazes me lately. I find myself just staring at him wondering where my baby has gone and how this little person suddenly emerged. He talks so much, understands everything, and knows exactly what he wants when he wants it. I am seriously awestruck by the new things he is doing every single day.

Snack Attack

I know all moms think their kids are smart, but he really is smart. At a mere 19 months old, Joey went into the pantry, located the snack he wanted, pulled the bag out of the box, and proceeded to search the bag of Lucky Charms for the marshmallows, while tossing the cereal part on the floor for the dog. If that's not a sign of pure genius, I don't know what is.

This Momma Makes BIG Babies

I went for my monthly ultrasound today. I honestly have no idea how they see anything in there, it just looks like a black and white mess to me. But anyway, the babies are growing nice and big. Baby A is 3lbs 6oz, and Baby B is 4lbs 1oz! She's quite a little fatty apparently. Some unfortunate news is that they have both flipped and are now in the breech position. I was really hoping to avoid a c-section, but if they don't get their acts together I'll have to have one. The important thing is that they are healthy and big, so who really cares how they come out???
