Okay, okay, okay. Now, I have shown ultrasound pictures to my Nana and Papa. And they have told me that only a proud mama could actually see a baby in the pictures. But seriously, these are the pictures from yesterday, and I can definitely see two of the most beautiful faces I've ever seen. The top one -- just in case these need an explanation -- is of Ben's profile. See his sweet little nose and mouth?! How cute is he???!!! The next one was taken looking down on Drew's face. And the last one was just so sweet. Both of their little heads are down and touching side by side. They have been in this position now for the last couple of months, which means that I often wake up with a sore rib cage, or with a lop-sided tummy from all the knees and feet that poke at me. But don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, and I love that there is so much that the three of us have shared that no one else will ever know about. I think that that is the part of being pregnant that I'll miss the most. Well, that, and of course having both of my arms and hands at my own disposal.
The visit yesterday was good. The Dr. said that both of the boys look great, and it looks like the medicine helped them be a little bit more content with staying inside for a little while longer. The only really noteworthy thing that came from our visit was that at next week's visit we will go ahead and schedule a date for the end of October sometime to induce labor if they don't come on their own. That will be pretty cool to choose their birthdate. However, if I know my husband, then I'm sure he'll pick some date relevant to UT football...like game day so he can have "Rocky Top" playing in the room when they come into the world, or something crazy like that.
Anyways, today is day 9 of bedrest, and since I have the most wonderful sister in the whole world, it hasn't been quite as bad as I'd dreaded. She comes over when she doesn't have class, and hangs out with me, and gives me something to look forward to. I try to keep my activities to one thing per day, and that works out pretty well since much more than that makes my feet swell up and I get exhausted.
Well, time for me to head back to the couch. I'll post more as soon as there is more to write! Thanks for checking in, and keeping us in your prayers!!!

Oh, I can really see them now! They are so sweet. I have enjoyed reading your blog. I feel so caught up that now we don't even have to talk on the phone anymore! ;-)

I can definitely see them! Maybe that's because I had SO many ultrasounds with Em, but that's another story for another day... So glad to hear you are doing better, and so sorry we didn't know about it sooner. Know that we are praying for all four of you! I do have to laugh a little when you promise to Blog more once the boys are here. HA! You'll get the joke a couple of months from now. (Notice the time on this post?) :o)
