I seem to be falling behind the closer things get to the twins coming! So lets review the last week or so. Last week I was 35 weeks and the little boy weighed 5 pounds 11 ounces and the girl at 5 pounds 6 ounces! Our little boy is sure starting to take up all the room I'm thinking! My doctor told me that if I started having contractions every 5 minutes or my water breaks to get to the hospital. I was so thrilled to hear that cause I thought she might stop me until my actual 'due date'. So we've been trying everything to go into labor early. Has any of it worked?? Not remotely! No contractions other than Braxton Hicks. Lame. My babies just seem to love it in there. Sawyer was the same way. Little stinks! Guess its really a blessing though. They are going to be good sized! I am a little glad they haven't come though. I really don't want to miss Easter with Sawyer this year. I was horribly sick last year so I didn't get to watch him find Easter Eggs and that was so sad. I don't want to miss it this year. We are taking him on an Easter Egg hunt for Clearfield City this Saturday and I am so excited! Then we are doing some fun Easter stuff at my moms that day with Derik! Really want to be there so I will just wait the 6 more days. I can do it. Maybe not comfortably but I can do it!

We also had an interesting week with Sawyer. After we had put him down for the night, he started taking off his pajamas and his diaper and going poo-poo and pee-pee in on his floor! He did this for about a week. Then I sat him down and talked to him. Had a 'serious' conversation with him that that was NOT acceptable. He hasn't done it since thankfully! We had tried puttin him on the potty before he went to bed and tried to see if he wanted to be potty trained. Nope he doesn't! Oh well. I am not going to push him.

He's been saying "I luff you" all the time now too! Its adorable! He will lay on my tummy and just look up at me and say "I luff you mommy". Brings me to tears just about every time! When people ask him "who's in mommy's tummy?" He always replies with "Our babies!" I am so hoping and praying that he won't become horribly jealous. I hope Brandon and I are able to give him the attention that he needs even though we are going to be super busy. That is something that keeps me up at night. I don't want him to feel resentful towards the babies. We are getting him a 'Big Brother Present' from the twins so hopefully that will kind of make him excited about having siblings! We were thinking of getting him some musical instruments but the more I think about it the more the it sounds like the worst idea ever! I won't want him to play it upstairs cause I will want it to be kind of quiet when the babies are sleeping so he will probably just resent them. So we are probably going to go with some Thomas The Train stuff! Can't go wrong with Thomas! Then he can play with that while I am with the babies! Much better idea! We are also thinking about getting a small swing set! That would be nice so I can get him outside during the summer while the babies are sleeping and still have some fun but be at home with the babies. Hopefully we can find something decent and fun.

I am pretty much ready for the hospital. I was able to get going home outfits and a big brother shirt for Sawyer last week!

It wasn't exactly what I wanted but I think they will still be adorable! I can't wait to see how those outfits look on the babies! They are soooo tiny! Its going to be crazy to hold a baby that small again! Sawyer is going to look and feel like a giant once they come! There are still quite a few things I need to get done before they come. I am going to try to get a lot of it done today! I went and picked up their baby books which were ridiculously expensive ($15 a piece!! But they are adorable!). I am really mad at Davis hospital and myself for not getting Sawyer's foot prints when he was born but am bound and determined to get both of theirs. Seriously, I hate myself for not getting Sawyer's. My mom and I tried to get his by doing one of those clay footprint kit things.... didn't work so well. I still have it but every time we tried to do it he would grip the clay with his tosies or his hand so it didn't come out real well. Its all I have though. I can't wait for these little ones to come! Things are going to be insane but so much fun too!
