It's been a good couple of days with our current family of five. Jason actually did no office time this weekend, which was wonderful. It's been months since we have spent a Saturday with him. It's been some needed time as we're about to embark on more change!

Kid is on Christmas break (which was launched by the school's adorable Christmas play). The three are happy to be together. He thinks he's hot stuff because he has so many days off. He also thinks it's pretty awesome that when he goes back to school, he will be the oldest of five kids.

Is he not the most passionate Kindergartner you have ever seen? I love his charisma. He was ALL expression. I loved watching him up there as this was the same stage that I performed many plays on...in fact, the amount of kids up there that were products of the school's alumni was pretty substantial...makes for great convo and easy-to-revive memories.

My body and hormones are calling it quits. They very much sense that this is the last pregnancy and by far the most difficult/uncomfortable. They are working together to send waves to my brain that signal feelings of discontent and irritability!

I typically get irritable towards my last days of pregnancy, but the physical discomfort this round increases such feelings. I know these babies have a greater chance of being good eaters, sleepers, and hopefully no NICU time the longer they stay in, but I would be lying if I said that I am not ready. I am more than ready for them to be here...but I will endure what I must to ensure their health...just don't spend anytime with me in the meantime! Consider yourself warned. It's not a pleasant experience.

Tomorrow starts a week of more monitoring, which I am hoping will help the time go by. My last appointment, the boys stayed true to their "identical-ness", by weighing in at 5lbs5oz and 5lbs6oz. They have never been more than an ounce off of each other. It's actually not very common for twins to be so close in size. Good job, boys! Great weights, too! I am hoping that they will reach 6lbs before they are born.

Soon, their tiny little faces, feet, and hands will be broad casted on the Bee Hive...can't come soon enough!
