I love Turner, but he's a pain!

Okay so I am about ready to have this baby. This past week I had to stay in the hospital a couple of days so they could stop my labour and also give me steroids to mature his lungs faster. I wasn't that good about bed rest, but after this past visit things have changed. My mother-in-law has my twins for now and I do nothing but lay down. I'm completely paranoid that he's going to come and I won't even realize it. But every thing's okay so far, and if he does come I know he'll be strong and make it just fine. I just thought the twins looked cute in these pictures.


This is me after almost 48 hours in the hospital. I'm off of my monitors and IV at this point. For a girl who's scared to death of needles, I had a flu shot, 4 shots of steroids, the IV, and Terbutaline. I was a mess after all that.
This is their grandma, Duane's mom, coming to get them. She'll have them for half the week and then bring them back to me for the second half of the week. I hate being away from my babies!

woo-hoo!

I convinced my mom to break doctor orders!!! She took me to duck duck goose this morning. It's a once a year second hand sale. It was awesome! I bought the boys so many winter clothes it was ridiculous! And I barely spent anything. That was the best part. My mom's easy, all you have to do is whine and complain a little. I had to get up and out though. And i didn't contract a single time today. But really, I wan't on my feet very long at all, so I don't feel too guilty. Here are some pictures.
Dad let Tyler drive.

My dad had to help dress the boys...and they weren't making it easy for him.
My mom and dad took the twins to my brother's football game.
For some reason Taylor loves to wear dad's hat. I guess he feels more like his papa. I couldn't get this one rotated on the computer I'm using, but it's my mom, dad, the twins, and my brother sam.

just me complaining

Okay this is getting ridiculous! Why can't I just have a normal and full term pregnancy??? I ended up in the ER AGAIN last night. Now I've gone from semi-bed rest to strict bed rest. Before I could at least get up and go outside to sit. I just wasn't able to pick up the boys or clean or do anything strenuous. NOW I have "bathroom privileges only."

Stupid bed!

I HATE bed rest! I've only been at it a few days and I feel like I'm going to come unglued. I moved in with my parents for the month of October to try to get a few weeks farther at least in my pregnancy. They're helping me with the twins. My brothers are 10 and 13 and you should see them changing poopy diapers, feeding the babies, dressing the babies, and so on. It's so cute! They even keep me entertained playing Nintendo with me and chatting and such. My mom gave me a book to read called "Amazing Grace" by Danielle Steele. Pretty good so far. But I'm used to doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, doing everything for the twins. Now I feel so useless. People get on to me if I do anything. Which is what I need I suppose. I know it's what's best for the baby, it's just really hard. You wouldn't think laying around and letting everyone cater to you would be difficult, but it IS! At least I can still take a shower and whatnot. They just won't let me do things like lift the babies or stand on my feet for very long. Even Duane calls to check up on me to make sure I'm not doing anything. With the twins I was gone bowling, playing basketball, shopping, excersising just weeks and days within delivering them. So we're all a little frantic since Turner has decided he wants to come out and play with his brothers instead of staying safe inside me.

Updates...

So we almost had Turner last night. I made it to the ER in perfect timing though. They gave me a couple of shots to stop the contractions and I had to stay over night, but we're both doing good now. I just am not able to do much of anything until the baby is born. How do you manage that with twin babies???

Taylor started sitting up just a week or so after Tyler!! So I have two sitters now. Taylor also got in his two bottom teeth and is trying his hardest to eat my knee cap. Not sure why my knee cap.

I'm too big to bathe the boys now. Tried to do it in the sink, but needless to say it makes to much of a water mess. So now that is Duane's job.

And they can hold their own bottles now too!!!

I think that's about it.
