Getting Closer!!!

We had another doctor visit and ultrasound this week, and left with, once again, an excellent report! Both babies seem to be growing fast...Makayla passed up her sister and is now measuring right at 5 lbs! Macy's not too far behind at 4 lbs 9 oz. They're still both ahead of the game in the 70th and 60th percentiles, respectively. I'm thrilled that they're doing so well, but having trouble imagining how I'm going to survive through 4 and 1/2 more weeks if they keep growing at this rate! I never knew the meaning of the word "UNCOMFORTABLE" until now! :)
It's so worth it to know that everyone is healthy and safe, but boy is this pregnancy thing a tough one to get through!!

Below are several ultrasound shots...there's not a whole lot to see, since the images aren't that clear, but it's easy to see how much the babies have grown since the first postings.

The first picture is of Makayla.











The second is a shot of the tops of their heads! For the first time, the babies are lying head to head! This is great news, since now, both are head down, ready for delivery, and Makayla no longer has to lay her head on Macy's butt! :)












The final picture is of Macy.











On top of the good doctor report, we've been honored with 5 baby showers from various friends and family, and have received amazing gifts and support from those at the showers, as well as all of our out of town family and friends as well. We are SO BLESSED to have such wonderful people in our lives, and are able to say that we are truly set for the arrival of our little ones. We could never have imagined all of the wonderful gifts that we would get and the generosity that has been shown to us. To all of you who have been a part, we can't say THANK YOU enough times!! Our girls are in for a special treat to meet all of you!! :)

I still need to get pictures from our showers (various "photographers" have to send me their "work"), and I'll post those when I can. We are also finishing up on the nursery, so we should have pictures of that to post soon as well! We're very excited with how it's turning out, and can't wait to show off our final product! (We have to take plenty of pictures now, while it's clean and tidy!!)
