Well folks, it looks like the boys and I have made it to the end of the line. In a few short days, if the boys don't decide to come sooner, I will be induced and these little angels will be in my arms instead of in my belly.
It's been a few weeks since I last wrote in my blog so I thought I would do a little updating...
I had beautiful maternity pictures taken by Melissa Blue, one of the most amazing women I know, out at Antelope Island. It was a perfect day for pictures!
Here is our little family! Josie and Fia did so good :)
This is Peder's favorite picture
This is my all-time favorite picture
On March 9th, Peder and I celebrated TWO years of marriage!!!! As a present to me Peder had me get my hair cut and dyed...... I had it dyed dark because Peder has always wanted me to, thought it has been hard to get used to since I have always been on the blond side of things. I like it now :)
On March 24th, I presented my thesis to my committee and after a few hours of talk and discussion I became Master Holmstead!!! Can you believe they actually passed off my thesis...?! I still in shock and awe.... Now on to the revisions and submission to the College of Graduate Studies for formatting approval. Let's hope all goes well.
Here I am at 37 weeks..... I have gown an inch around my belly since my baby shower..... I feel large and in charge...... well, mostly just large, but it is very worth it. I have to attend my theory class via Skype because I am to large to fit in the desks... Oh,well I get to go to class in the comfort of my own home and it is pretty great! I do miss my classmates though....
I no longer believe people when they tell me that the babies will start moving less the longer your pregnant. These boys never stop moving, which I love.... most of the time. Carsten still loves to put his feet right under my ribs and Fynn likes to hit my nerves with his little head which sends a shock through my body, not very comfortable....
I can't wait for these boys to come out. I don't believe it when people say,"enjoy them when they are in because it is easier when they are in then when they are out." People who say that have never been pregnant with twins.... Ya, I know there is a lot more to deal with when they come out, but at least I will be able to bend over and not suffocate and get up with out needing a small crane to assist in lifting me, walk more than ten feet without being winded, and sleep in my own bed instead of the on the couch. Sleep is already a thing of the past so that wont be a problem. Diapers and feedings will take some getting used to, but I am up for the challenge!
Just one more week and I will be a mom......The idea is so foreign to me and yet so exciting! I will get to hold and take care of two beautiful wrinkled baby boys that Heavenly Father has trusted Peder and I with, to teach and love, support and nourish, keep safe and not loose..... Two little faces to kiss, four little hands to hold, two little smiles to cherish, two little bodies to love. Sometimes I think Heavenly Father is crazy for trusting us with these boys, but He knows something we don't and I can't wait to find out what that is.
I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!
