May was filled with Showers for the babies, watching softball games, going fishing, visits to the OBGYN and praying we make it to June. I am 33 weeks right now and in pain most of the time. I have gained 54 lbs. and I still might have a month to go!!! :)
The showers were great!! Amy, Wendy and Steph threw a shower for me and around 50 people came bearing gifts. It was a great day of opening gifts and being shocked by everyone's loving touches with their gifts. Scott's mom (since she is a home eck teacher) made two adorable outfits for our little boy and girl. We got so many cute clothes and onsies.
Our family shower was awesome too! Mom threw it at her house and most of Scott's family came to the shower. My grandma, aunt and uncle tywford and my cousin Wendy/Emily came too! It was so great to have so many there. Huck even sent a card for my special day. We were very blessed with diapers, car seats, high chairs, jeep stroller and tons of cute clothes.
Since I had to quit coaching didn't mean I couldn't go to most of the home games. I watched most of Collegiates games and also got to go to a couple of Heights games too!! I was very proud of both teams they both made it past the first game of regionals but neither made it to State. Maybe next year! Shockwave will get started without me this summer. We got a new coach to come in and take over. I am praying it's a good transition.
Two times this May we have gone out fishing. I was beginning to think I was not good at fishing while pregnant but I think it was the time of day we were going. We started going after dinner and that made all the difference. Those two times I have caught about 24 fish... mostly cat fish. It's been a fun relaxing way for me to do something outside the house were I don't have to move much. Scott's Farm has a creek which dammed up so we have a really great fishing hole this summer. Funny story time, So I got my hook caught on a root. Scott and Phil our hero's were holding each other for Scott to try and save the hook and lure. Phil was screaming at Scott because Phil was trying to hold on to him and his girlfriend Janel was very nervous. Me, finding all of it very humorous if Scott fell in the water with Phil. I grabbed my camera. I had a little stool I was sitting on. While I went back to my stool sitting down to take the picture and video tape the event. The leg of the stool drove deep into the ground because it was quite muddy and I am huge at this point. I slowly descend towards the ground screaming and laughing. There I was laying on the ground, in the mud, laughing. Janel couldn't help me because she was worried about the boys and I was about to pee my pants laughing. Needless to say, no one fell except me. I guess the joke was on me. Oh what fun it is to be pregnant.
At our last visit to the doctor everything seems to be going really well. There are no concerns and the babies are growing, plus so am I. I am measuring 40 weeks at 33. So, now I am getting people saying "When are you due?" " Oh you poor thing, look at those ankles" "Adorable, you are just adorable" Are you hanging in there?" The babies are moving all the time. There really isn't much down time of movement. Which, when they are moving its a bit painful and then there are B. Hicks contractions. I really don't know what I am looking for as to when I am contracting and when I am not. But any day now. We are scheduled to do a C-Section and I am worried about recovery but I know God is with us. We have lots of help and I pray we can do this.
We are getting lots of advice now but the best thing for me right now has been the Having Twins and more Books. It is finally answering the big questions that singleton mom's don't have a clue about. So I am doing my best to figure out the way to raise these amazing blessings. God is so good to us. I am so happy to share this time with Scott and watch how much love can pour out of my husband and I for these two children of ours. Even though it's going to be hard and I am not going to perfect at it. They will be blessed to have a Mom and a Dad who love them soooo much. We are both so excited for this moment. We are praying for many things specifically. You can pray with us.
Pray for Scott to be there for delivery.
The Babies come out healthy and well developed. Not have to spend time in NICU.
Pray for Tina's recovery and health during and after delivery.
Pray the weeks we have them to ourselves we can bond closely.
Pray Tina can breast feed her children and help them develop for many months.
Pray for our safety and witness to others.
Thanks.. Much Love!! I might be a mom next time I get on here!!!! :))))))
