Less than 24 hours!

With less than 24 hours until we get to meet our babies, I am attempting to finish packing and cleaning, but Andrew told me to take it easy today, so I'm mostly just lounging around, watching TV, and watching my belly wiggle all over the place! I'm going to miss that. I'm going to miss my belly and being pregnant. I'm not going to miss my swollen feet, ankles, and legs!

I managed to do a little something crafty yesterday. (That REALLY made my feet swell!)


We will be filling these containers with mini cookies for the the OB and Radiology departments as a thank you for taking such good care of us over the past nine months. Having always been a rather healthy person, my weekly ultrasounds and appointments over the past 7 weeks have made me feel like I should just bring my pillow and jammies with and live in the waiting room! The last container of cookies is for the hospital nurses...might as well suck up a bit to ensure good care from them during our stay - not that I'm at all worried about that! I also have paper cut to size with scor-tape already on the back so I can write a little thank you to attach to the lid before delivering them - I want to wait to write them so I can include the babies names.

Here's a close up of one.

And before I go, one last belly picture. This was taken last Thursday when I was 37 weeks along and the babies estimated weighted were 7lbs 6oz and 7lbs 5oz! It will be interesting to see how accurate they were.
Hope you have a fabulous Wednesday!

You are so cute and I love your belly! My only wish is that I could be there to put my hands on that belly now to feel those babies move around! So excited for you tomorrow and so proud of you for being such a trooper these past 9 months, you are already an amazing Mommy and your little ones are so blessed! Love you!

Thanks for the post. I was hoping we'd get to see one last picture! Your containers are darling, a very thoughtful thing to do. Now put your feet up and enjoy the rest of this day and we'll look forward to your next post! Our prayers are with you FOUR.
