Quick Updates

Where's Rica been? Rica and Casey have been busy! All was going well until my weekly appointment w/Dr. W this past Wednesday. She shut me down and placed me on bed rest until Hailey and Mason make their debut. I wasn't in complete agreement with her, however after how I've been feeling the past couple of days I know she was right. Here's whats been going on with Team Turner since our last posting:

• A week ago this past Thursday I had crazy abdominal pain and thought for sure my uterus was tearing apart. Dr. W sent me to Labor and Delivery. Turns out it was only gas - how embarrassing! Casey and I both got a much needed laugh about my diagnosis. A couple Gax-X Ultras later and we were back in business.
• I had another shower hosted at Casey's mom's house by my fabulous mother in law and Michelle. It was amazing and so great to see everyone and spend time visiting. Michelle and Evonne totally outdid themselves, as usual. Pictures will be posted when I start to feel a little better.
• The nursery was really coming along, my bed rest will be a pretty big bump in the road. Casey has already started putting together all of our fun shower stuff and organizing in my place. Once complete, pictures will be posted.
• Casey will make one last trip (hopefully) to Babies R Us and Target to grab the last of our "must have" items next week.
• Today marks 32 weeks gestation for the babies. Our next goal is 34 weeks. Dr. W thinks if I stay down and manage my blood pressure, contractions and gestational diabetes there's a chance we could make it to 37 weeks. Knowing that we could possibly avoid the NICU makes my current condition/state seem worth it.
• Casey's diaper shoot is tomorrow. I know he's excited about hanging out with all his buddies and adding to our diaper supply. He enjoyed stopping in at the end of my shower to load up all of our gifts and to seeing everyone.
• My Casey turned 33 this past Wednesday! I couldn't help but ask him how he thought he'd feel when he turned 35 and had two, 2 year olds? He just shook his head and laughed and said, "I can't even imagine how fun its gonna be!"
• Any ideas or tips to make bed rest more entertaining are more than welcome!
