Happy Birthday Brielle

Happy 6th Birthday to Brielle!! When she woke up on her birthday..she says "Mom how come I dont look 6?" lol..kids they say the funniest things.

For her birthday we did the same thing that we did when it was Destiny's..She got to invite one friend to Build-A-Bear and we went out to eat and then went to spend some money in Claires. She will get her cake this weekend when we have the family over to celebrate her birthday. But on her birthday she/we had cupcakes..She and her friend both had a GREAT time..so it was a success with her too:))
Here are a few pictures from her birthday!!

34 weeks and counting down:)

Well i know its been a couple of weeks but Ive been busy trying to get everything ready for the babies and for Christmas..Its nice to say that i am ready for both:)) My sister-in-laws there me a baby shower last week so I got alot of stuff that i needed and diapers and wipes:))) I also had my dr appointment/ultrasound last week too...Both babies look great..Baby A is 4lbs 6oz and measures 32w 5d and baby B is 4lbs 4oz and measures 32w 2d. Both of there heads are up in the left corner of my belly so it is REALLY uncomfortable. So yes they are still breech. Everything else looked great..i finally gained a little bit of weight so my dr was happy with that..we are all just anxiously waiting to meet the little ones...I think it will be prettty soon at least im hoping:)) bc im sooo uncomfotable and in lots of pain...

This last week I have been taking care of Avery..she has been very sick with a HIGH fever and that was it.Even with tylenol or motrn in her she was still hot...i took her in to the dr just to make sure that it wasnt h1n1 or flu..i didnt want to take any chances with me being pregnant..anyways it wasnt and he said tht it was just a virus but now she broke out in a rash all over her belly and back so i think it is roseola..

Here are a few pictures of me at 32 weeks..im already alot bigger then this but these will have to do..i tried to tell Jared what and how to take some of these pictures..he at least thinks he is a good photgrapher now..haha!! The others were self photography..boy was that challenging!!!

A few updates

Well I went in for my check up last thursday and everything is still looking good..I still am not gaining weight and my dr has no idea why bc Im measuring 6 weeks ahead like i am suppose to be and the babies are both growing great..so she said I have her puzzled..who knows..I am so ready to be done with but I still have soem weeks to go..Im 31 1/2 weeks right now..Everything is starting to get really uncomfortable!! I go back in a couple of weeks for another ultrasound and dr appointment..

As far as Avery goes well she needs a little update too:)) She is still doing awesome in everything that she does. She isnt getting physical thereapy right now bc her therapist quit and all the other pt where full so we were put on the waiting list but really she is doing so awesome that its not hurting her one bit..and its one less day that we have to go to therapy so that is nice:)) I think me having restrictions and this pregnancy has been so good for her bc she has learned to be so independent and do alot of things on her own. Can u believe it she isnt even three yet and we are already starting to have to deal with school with her..its crazy..We have declined her going to school when she turns three bascially bc i think its crazy!! So I guess Im waiting for the school district to call me so I can tell them shes not going to school.

We had to repeat her swallow study today. It has been a year since the last one and they wanted to see how she was doing out of a straw before they started a straw thereapy on her. WEll it didnt go over really good..i couldnt be in the room with her bc of obvious reasons (being pregnant and all). But here is what we did come up with..She does great from her sippie cup which we already knew that..From a regular straight straw she does ok on thin liquids too..Yeah!!!! no more thickener for that:)) But when they used the curly thin straws or complex straws where u really have to suck hard she penetrated so we have to stay away from them for now. So if her speech therapist wants to continue with the straw therapy she will have ot use thickener bc its with all those funky wierd straws..The speech patholgist that was doing the study said that she was probably just still weak in the neck area and over time she will gain all the strength she needs and then she wont have a problem on anything anymore..and part of the problem is that she drinks so fast!! So she is going to recomment getting a sippie cup and a cup with a straw in it that controls how much liquid u are getting with your sips or drinks i guess.. i think that was about it..They tried to try some foods but didnt go over so well with Avery. After they offered and kept offering her a cracker with the barium on it she just lost it..(she thought the barium was cool whip or frosting i know it..she HATES both!!)They did get her to eat a few bites of applesauce and that lloooked ok..our main goal was the straw though so i guess we take what we got:)) She has never really had a problem with foods and swallowing..


Heres a few pics to leave ya with ...Avery LOVES to look at books and her favorite book is "Good Night Gorilla" she will bring you this book so many times a day..everyone in the family has this book memorizes..haha!! so anyways one day i just got done reading her the book and a few minutes lateer she brings it back to me to read..well i really didnt feel like reading it again..so i told her no not right now..a few minutes later i look over at her and she is in the chair reading the book to her baby..:) It was cute:))

28 week update

I had a dr appointment last week along with ultrasound..just thought i would give you all an update quickly..the ultrasound went great!!! Baby A is weighing about 2lbs 10oz and baby B is 2lbs 5 oz. My cervix is still looking good..they measured it on the ultrasound..Both of the babies are measuring right on schedule so thats good too..Im still on the slow side of gaining weight but am measuring 6 weeks ahead which is right where i should be so thats good..hmmm let me see i think that is about it..still doing the monitoring everyday and still having contractions..How am I doing?? Well I have my good days and my bad days..counting down my weeks i cant wait to be done!!!! Im almost there so that helps me...the end is in sight:)) I go back to the dr again in two weeks and have another ultrasound in a month!!

Happy Halloween!!

I hope everyone had a great and safe Halloween! Ours was pretty good..it did rain off and on through out the night. But that didnt stop the girls they went out in the rain.crazy girls:P Avery loved trick or treating!! She went right up to the doors with her big sissy's and held up her pumpkin too so she could get candy.. Then everyone thought she was blowing them kisses when she left the houses but she was actually signing Thank you to them..:))
