A lot of "4's"

Tomorrow marks 4 weeks until the babies arrive. Last Thursday, both Keegan and Noelle measured 4 lbs 4 oz. Today at my 33w appointment, I measured 40 weeks. I only wish I had 4 times as many hours in a day to get everything done!

Last week was awesome. I took two whole days off work - spent one with Sam & Kim, and the other with my mom, Aunt Linda and Tori. It was so nice to un-plug from work and enjoy good company!

This week I'm looking forward to girl's night at my friend Bonnie's, bible study (have I mentioned how amazing the book 'No More Perfect Moms' is? Seriously, exactly what I needed to read before these sweet babies are born), and our BABY CLASS at Dallas Presby Hospital. Our hospital offers tons of baby classes, and one specifically on preparing for multiples. Justin and I signed up months ago, since they only offer it every 6 months and it fills up fast. I'm really excited - but not so excited to sit in a chair for like 5 hours on Saturday. My feet have started to get really swollen, so I try to prop them up as much as possible. Oh well - if swollen feet is the biggest of my complaints I'd say I am doing pretty good.

The Hubs has been so amazing this whole pregnancy, but especially in the past few weeks where I have gone from feeling 'great' to 'good.' He's always calling to check in on me from work, filling up my water cup without me even asking, cooking me breakfasts before work, picking up groceries --- just little things that make me realize how lucky I am to have him and to share this experience with him. He is getting really anxious and excited for the babies to get here. He has helped me with every detail of "nesting," too --- he's been involved in the entire nursery planning and decorating process, setting up the baby station downstairs, washing and organzing their clothes... we've had fun. And he says the sweetest things. Like yesterday we were just hanging out and out of the blue he told me to remember to read them a story today. (I did first thing this morning). :)

I finally got my diaper bag. I wanted a backpack style one, since I thought having something balance off my shoulder could get frustrating. I went with the Ju Ju Be BFF bag, which converts a few different ways, and a few people had recommended it to me.

And, I've been playing with my camera and watching a lot of instructional videos on YouTube. I think out of the 100+ pics I've taken, I have about 5 that are pretty awesome. It's a start!
