Miranda at 33 weeks

Here is my lovely picture at 33 weeks! Needless to say, I'm not a huge fan of these pictures that my husband takes! We had our weekly doctor appointment today and learned that Cooper's estimated weight is now 6.3 lbs. and Chloe is now 5.5 lbs. No wonder I can barely walk! I am 1 to 2 centimeters dialated and 50% effaced. I am on a medicine that is slowing down my contractions and she will take me off in 2 weeks given that I do not go into labor before then.

This isn't the best picture of Maddie playing volleyball but I wanted to share with you how proud we are of her! She is really enjoying the game these days. This last weekend she had a tournament and did really well. She served 8 aces in one game! Which means that she scored 8 points on her serves. (I'm learning all the volleyball terms too! :))

How Big is Football in Texas?

The bottom outfits will probably not get too much use...other than used for starting the BBQ grill. They may be flame retardant, but not when soaked in light fluid!

Miranda at 31 Weeks

Cooper's Ultrasound Pictures at 31 Weeks

Today, Cooper's estimated weight is 4.6 lbs. He is about 2 weeks ahead of schedule. As always, he was very cooperative and we got more adorable pictures of him! He is not the shy one! As of now, he is in the position to be delivered first. The doctor said that it was great that he is the heavier one and positioned to come first. She is telling us to give her 3 more weeks!

Chloe's Ultrasound PIctures at 31 Weeks

We FINALLY saw Chloe's sweet face today for the first time. As of today, we had not seen a profile or anything so as you can imagine we were really excited to finally see her. She has been giving us her back side until now. Even today, the ultrasound tech had to push on me pretty hard to get her to show us something. The first thing the tech said was..."Look at those cheeks!" She definitely has some chubby cheeks and the tech and I both think she has Todd's chin. Looks like we might have a little girl that resembles Maddie. Maddie definitely looks like Todd and I believe Chloe will too! Chloe has really tickled us through out this pregnancy, every ultrasound tech usually laughs over how Chloe won't cooperate. Today, her nickname from the tech was "Little Petunia". That was much better than "Little Booger" which she has also been called. The pics aren't as clear as Cooper's but we are just tickled PINK to get these shots!

Today's visit estimated Chloe's weight around 4 lbs. and she is breech. She is called "Twin B" which means she will be delivered after Cooper. She and Cooper are side by side with each having their feet right next to the other's head.
