Grandmother is in Town

Your dear Grandmother came into town for a visit and attend your baby shower. Grandma arrived on Friday May 21st late at night. She hadn't been her 5 minutes before she opened her suitcase and gave us our baby gifts. Grandma had made both of you two beautiful blankets. The first blankets were twin matching crochet green, blue, and yellow blankets. She also make you both matching ABC's blue and pink blankets. I know you are both going to like them. Grandma was so proud to present them to me. I know she is going to love to see you wrapped inside of them.

Grandma Maughan was so excited to see my big belly. She was constantly touching my belly and asking when you were moving. I told Grandma Maughan every time one of you were kicking and she got so excited to feel your movements. Most of the time you both kick at the same time, so it was a special treat for her.

On Saturday, Grandma escorted me to my baby shower. It was a smaller shower, but we received some really nice gifts and a lot of diapers!! For some reason everyone kept giving me diapers saying that I would need double. After the shower Grandma and I spent the rest of the day making crafts for your bedrooms. We make burp rags, blankets, and hair bows. On Sunday Grandma and I had a very relaxing day. We went to church and cooked together. We ended our Sunday watching a movie together and playing checkers. Then on Monday we spend the first part of the day going to your 32 week appointments. The ultrasound tec said that everything looked normal and that you are both growing at a constant rate. Then we visited with Doctor. He wants me to start doing what is called "round robin". That means I meet with different doctors in case I go go into labor when he is not on call. Doctor said that I am turning into a "normal pregnancy" and am out of the risky zone. The plan now is to just come into the hospital when I am having contractions.

I know it is crazy to think that my belly is still growing but it is!!! Sometimes pictures don't really show the truth. I honestly feel way bigger. It is now hard to sleep at night, and I wake up 5 times a night to go to the bathroom.

Thoughts

I just wanted you both to know that I am so excited to be your mother. I love watching my belly grow and love feeling you both kick. It is the best feeling in the world knowing that you are both healthy and well. I feel privileged to be your mother. I know that your guys aren't born yet, but I love you so much already. It is hard to imagine how much more I will grow to love you. Keep growing.
