A Much Needed Update

Well my average post every 6 weeks is just not cutting it! I have a lot to update. There are two more posts below this one so keep reading! A lot has happened in the last 6 weeks. Most noteworthy would be packing up our condo in Provo, finding renters for our condo, and moving just under 3 hours away to Pocatello. Jordan started dental school today. We are pretty much all moved in to our little apartment here in Pocatello. It has been nice to feel like I can finally start getting ready for these babies to come! Needless to say, these next couple of weeks are going to be a whirlwind of new experiences. Jordan is in class 33 hours a week and then homework on top of that.

I am 33 weeks and 2 days along today and I am trying my hardest to just make it to 36 weeks with these sweet girls. We had a doctor's appointment yesterday and they are growing great. Baby A is 4 lbs 10 oz and Baby B is 4 lbs 11 oz. Hopefully we can get them in between 6 and 7 lbs before they come. I am so excited for their arrival and nervous at the same time. Luckily I have my mom and mother-in-law close by to help me as adjusting to two brand new babies will not be easy I am sure! We look forward to the excitement just around the corner. 36 weeks is Sept 12th but the longer I can go past that, great. They will let me go till 38 weeks before they induce me so we'll see how ready and how squished these two little girls can get. They are both head down right now so I have four very active feet up in my rib cage. We love watching their four little feet show us what they are up to!

Here are a few pictures that I got excited over.


This is the GREATEST idea ever, love the expectant mom parking. They don't have this in Provo--probably because there would never be a spot open!

Trying to point out that there are two babies in there!

I love my siblings. My sister's and I at the Miss Idaho Falls pageant watching my sister-in-law.

Keep checking back as I have a lot more time on my hands to update my blog. We'll post lots of pictures of our activities. Today is actually our 3rd anniversary so I'll post on that here soon!

Love that you blogged about the progress of the babies. We are anxious for their arrival!

I love the "expectant mom" parking too. They also have one at RC Willey that says "expectant mothers and women with children parking!"

Hilary, you might be one of the cutest pregnant women I know! Not to mention the fact you are carrying two in there! I hope things are going great and I hope that labor, delivery, and new life with those pretty babies goes great :) You will love being a mom and be an awesome one!

How exciting! You're getting so far along. Good for you for keeping those girls in there! My sister-in-law had her twins at 30 weeks, and they're healthy, big boys. So you know that you're safe now to be that far along already! Good luck with the upcoming changes in your lives! (They'll be great changes!) And good luck to Jordan in school.

You're so cute! I am so excited to see what your babies look like! I can't believe your babies are over 4 lbs EACH right now. That's insane! My mom's biggest was 7 lbs...so smaller than what you've got in you right now. I hope your ribs don't get too bruised! Love you!

P.S. I'm sure that your babies will be healthy even if they come right now...Baby B is as big as I was when I was born and I was healthy as can be. :)
