Hey Everyone! Still here, hangin' out at the hospital! The first pics are of some of my awesome nurses. Tara is "Pimpin' my straps" in the first ones...we label them to make sure we are using the correct ones when I monitor and I needed new ones because mine are worn out and she decided to "embellish" the new ones with paint pens and glitter! They are beautiful and I will take a pic when they are dry.

Sheila and Lola are in the other pic-they are such fun girls-they keep my stay here fun. Lola is actually "Stephanie" but that's her nickname b/c there are 2 Stephs.

Meet the newest addition to the nursery. We got our hutch/changing table/dresser made and Matt delivered it to us on Monday. I love it!! He matched it to the cribs and it has lots of room for storage-which we will probably need with these two little ones.




This picture is basically looking in from the doorway. I have obviously not accessorized AT ALL so all the walls other than the paint are plain. The rocking chair is also probably going to be moved into the gameroom b/c if I am rocking one crying baby, I do not want to wake up the one that MIGHT be sleeping. It's all a tight squeeze according to the pictures but Brad says you can move around easily in the room-I'll take his word-I certainly haven't seen it!!! :)





Here is the latest belly shot - 31 weeks and 3 days! I am certainly getting bigger by the day and it is getting a little more difficult to roll over in bed-gotta love bed rails though-those can really help a prego girl out!! I included a close up of my shirt that I LOVE and also my special necklace that Brad got me...I think I only posted a photo of the Tiffany's box and not what was in it-oops! I love my necklace!




We had our 2 regular sono's this week on Tuesday and Friday. We didn't measure the babies this week so I am assuming that we will sometime this week and I am counting on them being at or close to 4 pounds by now. Most importantly, the babies looked great and I was very stable.

I have started having contractions on and off. Sometimes they go away and sometimes they don't. I have had 2 shots of Terbutiline to stop them and that works instantly. I will continue to have more and more contractions according to the doctor and they certainly trick me into thinking - "Ooh, is this it?? Am I about to get to meet my babies???" I don't want to wish them here by any means but I am getting more and more excited now for them to get here.
I have a bunch of other pictures and stuff to post but I have had to re-sign-in over 5 times while doing this post-so I will have to do that later. (So don't proof read this one either-urr) Funny, I don't have the patience to mess with Blogger at all but I can lay in a hospital bed for 3 months and I am fine! Go figure!! Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Yippee Meredith & babies!! The terb shots are NO FUN. We will say a prayer for NO MORE terb shots and several more weeks of pregnancy!

Love,
Jack, Suzanne, Jacob & Luke

Meredith - You look great! I love the dresser/hutch and the bedding. You and Brad have done a great job preparing for your sweet babies.

Meredith, I have been following your blog for a couple of months. Amber told me to check it out. I am having twins, also. I am almost 18 weeks. I have really enjoyed reading about all your "adventures" in the hospital! I was just curious about where you found your cribs. I have been looking for some like them. I hope those babies stay put for a few more weeks!

I am sooo happy that you (three) are doing so well!! I have been thinking about you and praying for all of you over the past months. I want to come see you so badly, but I just don't know about having Ashley up there. I hope you understand! The nursery looks wonderful! Brad gets a gold star for getting that all ready. :)
Just a little longer and it will be smooth sailing! Then the real fun begins!! :)
Love, Lauren, Marc and Ashley

LOVE the nursery! I know you can't wait to see it all in person.

And YEA for making to 31 weeks -- I can't wait to hear what if those sweet little twins are boys or girls or one of each! Hang in there...just a little bit longer!

LOVE the nursery, Mere! It looks awesome, and will only get cuter when you can give it your special touch! The changing table/hutch reminds me so much of Collin's! We loved having that much storage, and now we use it in his playroom and fill it with toys. We're going to put a T.V. in there someday when they get older...gotta love that versatility! And yay for Matt- he's awesome!
