33 weeks

I am way overdue for an update. It has been 6 weeks since the last post and the last 6 weeks life has been crazy.

The pregnancy has be going great! I can't believe I am already at 33 weeks! However, I can't wait for this pregnancy to be over!!! I am ready to have mobility back :) The babies are growing like weeds, at the ultrasound on Jan. 7th each baby was approx. 4 lbs. I have another ultrasound this Tuesday, Jan. 28th and can't wait to see how much they have grown. Both babies are moving around like crazy and letting me know they are running out of room. I had the dreaded glucose test on Jan. 7th and passed!!!! The Dr. had prepped me for not passing because of carrying multiples. I'm so thankful I passed :)

We are all hoping the babies stay put until at least 36 weeks which is February 13th. I cannot deliver in Moses Lake unless I'm 36 weeks and that is our hope. If labor happens before 36 weeks I will be delivering in Spokane. I don't know how long after Feb. 13th my Dr. will let me go. That will depend on how the babies are doing. It is hard to believe that we will most likely meet Grayson and Kate in the next 3-4 weeks :)

Yesterday, Jan. 25th we had maternity pictures taken which was really fun and I can't wait to see how they turned out.

 Baby bump at 33 weeks!

On Jan. 5th the church I grew up in put on an amazing baby shower for me, Grayson and Kate. We were blessed beyond words! Katie Walsh was the main organizer of the shower and she is due with her second baby boy a few weeks after me. 

 Here are our baby bumps "kissing"

After the baby shower it was time to really work on the nursery and get it set up. So Tim and I spent a couple of days working on getting stuff washed, folded and put away in the nursery. Here it is...

On Jan. 16th my school family put on a baby shower for us and again we were blessed! Here are a couple pictures.

Just about a month ago on Dec. 28th my best friend, Lisa Truemper became Mrs. Scott. It was a beautiful wedding and I was honored to be part of it.

Now for the hardest part of the last 6 weeks. In Oct. 2012 my Dad was diagnosed with mesothelomia lung cancer. He had been receiving chemo since Nov. 2012 and had been doing great. On Dec. 30th we found out that the cancer had completely taken over and there was nothing more that could be done. It was the news my family knew was coming one day but we all hoped it would be years down the road. On January 9th my Dad passed away and is living with our Lord and Savior in Heaven today. Over the last few weeks there have been tough moments but also moments of joy and laughter. I miss my Dad terribly but know he is in a better place and is healthy and whole. He has left a great legacy and will live on in all of us.
