Getting ready for the twins!


I am now 34 weeks pregnant and have 3 weeks to go. I'm slow on my feet, spending 90% of my days in the recliner, and pretty darn uncomfortable. It's hard for me to sit at the dinner table or really walk anywhere. The most walking I do is into Amare's daycare to drop him off and pick him up every day. Luckily I have avoided a lot of the swelling and back pain that is common at this stage in the game. I am so looking forward to meeting these little guys. My biggest curiosity is what they are going to look--could one of them have red hair? Will they look identical? Will they look just like Gyasi (because you KNOW that Amare is a spitting image of his father)? Only three weeks until we find out! At my last appointment on Tuesday (33.5 weeks), they were weighing in at 5lbs 1oz and 5lbs 10oz so we might have some big boys on our hands.
We moved Amare upstairs and have his room all set up. He loves it, mostly because it is upstairs (which is still a very new and novel concept to him) and because it has Elmo all over it. This kid loves his Elmo. It's cute to see him attached to something like that! Amare is getting smarter every day and is also becoming a much better eater. Case in point--
The nursery is 98% done, the clothes have been washed and are all put away, the closet is filled with the things we need, the bottles have been sterilized, the car seats have been installed in the van, my hospital bag is packed. Here are some pics of Amare's new room and the nursery. Now it's just a waiting game!
