Chatter box

My sweet baby boy has got to be the chattiest little thing alive! He repeats EVERYTHING we say and remembers the words as well. He is also growing like a weed! We measured him 2 weeks ago and then again yesterday and he'd grown a full inch...in 2 weeks! He's now 2'10 (34 inches) tall :) Last time we weighed him at the Dr he was 33 lbs. And so strong. I call him Bam Bam (like the kid from the Flinstones). I also think he's cluing in on the fact that we're about to have some new arrivals. Okay, so I don't think he knows we're having twins, but he loves babies and says "baby" everytime he sees one in a magazine or anywhere really. Sometimes he will come to me, hand me the PBK catalog and say "baby"....this is my cue to flip the pages so he can checkout all the babies! He has also been really into his "I'm a Big Brother" book the past couple of days.

I am also ready for these babies to arrive. Although I know our lives will never be this calm again, I can't wait to meet these 2 boys! I must admit that I didn't care for being pregnant with Calan and this is an even more trying experience. BUT, that said I don't want to have them come too early! I am 31 weeks along now and I really need to make it to 34-36 weeks. I know that I will be so miserable by then, but I just have to keep reminding myself that it's a short time compared to what the babies might endure due to being born early. It's gotten to the point that anytime I stand up, I have braxton-hicks contractions or cramping, so I really try to sit most of the time. Boy is it hard to be at home sitting all the time. I will admit to not always following the bed rest orders - like our trip to Target today, but I try to most of the time. I have another ultrasound on Thursday and I'm excited to see how they have grown in the past month. They were measuring big last time, so it'll be interesting to see if they're still considered "large" for their gestational age.
