30 Weeks
Weight Gain- 25lbs
Belly Button- Half out.
Feeling- Got a 'burst' of energy this week. Not sure where it came from; not complaining. But used the opportunity to do a few things on my to-do list.
Big Moments- Aside from their cribs (we are getting in two weeks) we are officially prepared for their arrival. Although we want them to stay put for a little longer! Their clothes/blankets are washed and put away. They have newborn bath mats to take their first baths. I have a pack-n-play set up in our room for their first few weeks home. They have a lifetime supply of swaddle blankets! And, their hospital bag is packed (gotta finish Mommy and Daddy's).
Craving- Kroger chocolate donut holes and chicken salad (again).
Babies are the size of- Cabbage
Next Appointment- Next OB visit March 5.

28 Week Ultrasound/Check Up
28 Weeks
Marshall 2lbs 11ozs
Look at those chunky cheeks! Poor guy, his sister doesn't give him a lot of room. Her bottom is resting right on his head.
Lydia 2lbs 9ozs
Is that a little smile? I think so!
I had to have a whooping cough vaccine, Rhogham shot AND blood drawn for my thyroid! What a fun visit!
But doctor said everything looked good. Cervix is not dilated, good news. And no signs of preterm labor as of now. I have to come back in two weeks, at that time we'll schedule my csection. Somewhere between week 38-39 I would assume.
We are moving right along.
Thought I'd add a little comparison..
This is me 34 Weeks with Payton. I had her 4 weeks later.
This is me 28 Weeks with twins! And have 10 weeks left. I feel like this picture doesn't even do it justice to just how big I got this past week!

Happy 4th Birthday Alexis!
Alexis' Birthday Week started offwith her joint party with my brother Ben at my great-grandmother's house. My aunt ordered her a specialprincess cake. And as instructed... My mom bought her a Princess Sophia dress with an amuletand crown. 
One of my birthday presents to Alexis was allowing her to play Playdoh.. Which I can't stand! What a mess. And to be honest, I hate when the colors mix! Haha But her and her sister had a great time! I even got some cleaning done. Maybe I like Playdoh after all (doubtful).
I helped out with Alexis' Valentines Party at school. And since it was close to her birthday we combined it with a small celebration for Alexis as well. She calls it her Valentines Birthday! She picked out the snack we brought... Heart shaped marshmallows, pretzels and One Direction water. Mommy arranged a little surprise for her... Gee came to school to help for her party as well! We had a great day!
The birthday girl and her special birthday breakfast, her favorite donut holes.
And what 4th birthday would be complete without a One Direction themed pizza birthday party?!
Liam even sent a special photo for Alexis' party. Obviously her favorite gift!
The story behind this is One Direction has a music video out, Story of My Life. In the video they show pictures of them as kids. So we did a Story of Alexis' Life...
A pizza cake.
And a birthday wish!
The wish must have come true because Chelsei brought her a Frozen dress!
And of course the party had a photo booth!
Alexis had a great Birthday Week!
