Three More Days

My c-section has been scheduled for Tuesday, December 29th. For sure this time! Check back later next week for pics of the boys.

Happy Birthday!

Katelynn is two years old today! Can you believe it??? She is amazing and growing up so fast. Her language skills continue to impress me, and I'm sure her vocabulary is several hundred words. She currently likes to give out orders like "Mommy do it" or "Go away uncle." She also has a good independent streak going: she wants to dress and undress herself, take herself to the bathroom, put away the dishes, etc. Now if only I could get her to want to clean up her toys!
Katelynn has learned all of her basic colors and has been working on counting. She is also interested in the alphabet, and she frequently says "ABCDLMNOP" when she sees letters. You can tell her attention span is growing too because she'll request and sit through much longer books. She still loves music and loves to sing. She is currently obsessed with Barney's "I Love You" song. She also likes Twinkle Twinkle, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, and Christmas music. It's super cute to listen to her serenade herself to sleep.
We have her 2-year check-up next Monday and we'll find out how much she weighs and how tall she is then. I'm sure she's met all of her developmental milestones, but she still is not a huge fan of eating. Pizza and mac & cheese seem to be the staples of her diet. Her top two canine teeth finally both popped through this month, so she now has 16 teeth! Four more molars and then we should be done with teething for a few years. Time for me to make her a dentist appointment.
Katelynn has been gearing up for the arrival of her brothers by playing with all of their toys. A couple of days ago, she got a baby doll and a stroller to push around. She proceeded to put the doll up her shirt so that she could be pregnant too! Thanks the delay in the twin's birth, we got to spend today with Katelynn instead of in the hospital. Tucker, JT, and I took her to Chuck-E-Cheese for lunch and she enjoyed it. We had a carrot cake after dinner to celebrate, but she was not a fan of the flavor!Katelynn, thank you for an awesome two years. I'm looking forward to watching you grow and change over the next twelve months!

Not Today

Um... change of plans... no babies today. My labs, non-stress test, etc, were looking good today so they want me to try to hang in there for a little while longer. We may not get those Christmas babies after all.

Pregnancy Update

For those of you who aren't on Facebook, it looks like we're having a c-section on Sunday December 20th! The pregnancy has gotten a little complicated with preeclampsia and severe hip pain. We'll be most 36 weeks by then (which is average for twins) and the boys are both estimated to be over 6 pounds already. So it's time to come out. Their birthday will be just one day off from Katelynn's! Family of five here we come.
