The date is set!
The doc has scheduled the boys’ delivery for Monday morning. That will make it 31 weeks. It hasn’t really sunk in yet. Probably because we thought they’d come out this week and when we originally got that news it took a little while to sink in.
Now I just keep eating as much as I can to grow these boys. This has become increasingly difficult given that they are taking up all the room. It will be strange to feel my organs and their sensations move back to where they belong. Heart burn and gas pains are strange because they aren’t where they would normally be. And, when I get butterflies in my stomach it feels more like butterflies in my chest.
We are getting closer to settling on first names for the boys. Good thing now that we have a deadline. Sorry, you’ll have to wait until they’re born… For those who don’t yet know the story of their middle names let me quote papa: “their middle names Carson” (A) and “Walker” (B) are twin rivers in Nevada with their ongoing challenges that keep surviving. Both rivers are places where their papa spends his most precious moments- moments that we both look forward to sharing with our boys.”

Great — now you know the date, so that uncertainty is gone. It’s very surreal knowing when your babies will be born, isn’t it? Eat ALL you can. You can feel like the turkeys will be feeling — STUFFED! :~D Know that I am thinking about you guys constantly and looking forward to more news. OXOXOO

Very exciting! I’m sure you’re SO looking forward to the big day!
Know you need to eat for the boys … but SLEEP as much as you can for you - (I’m sure that’s nearly impossible).
Brendan was born on Thanksgiving, and let me warn you, hospital food is a total let down. Hope D can smuggle in something good.

Well the middle names are perfect, of course I am biased since I have a Madison named after the fly fishing fanatic river…and well Carson was our choice had it been a boy. Keep on truckin!
