Where Does the Time Go?

The Team Turners Twin Countdown is now under 30 days. How does that happen? I can't believe March is underway and April is just around the corner. Within the month Hailey and Mason could very well be here...so crazy!
We've been busy with baby preparations, working and realizing we're in the last few weeks of just being a couple with two cats. Its really sinking in that our routine will be completely turned upside down, and for the better.
This past week I had my baby shower at work. I've been working at home for the past month or so and I drove in for the last half of the afternoon. The hostesses went above and beyond and made the entire event so much fun. Casey was there for the festivities, too and he had a great time. We have pics of the shower that will get loaded probably tomorrow along with some updated nursery photos. My next big shower will be this coming Saturday and I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone and visiting with old friends. One of Casey's friends is celebrating his bachelor party that same day so he'll hopefully have a chance to stop by and see everyone too. I think he was really surprised at what a good time he had at my work shower. Of course much of his good time and laughing can be attributed to Kia, Emmer, Lisa (Big Head), Gloria, Tametra, Morgan and Yolunda. Hands down some of the craziest women I've ever met. They always keep me laughing and I couldn't imagine working with out any of them. All of the shower items have been put away and are ready to use.
Today I spent most of the day in bed. I woke up not feeling well and it wasn't long after that the contractions started. They stayed at around 6-8 in an hour and after 2 hours of being uncomfortable, I called Dr. W. She told me take another one of my contraction pills, drink a big glass of water and lay on my left side to see if they would stop. If they didn't stop, she was going to meet at the hospital for another medication to be administered. Luckily, they stopped and I was able to just spend the rest of today in bed. Casey was in a training class all day for the fire department today so I was glad there wasn't any drama and he was able to remain in class. Dr. W said the contractions are due to carrying twins and the rapid expansion of my uterus. We had our normal appointment this past week and everything went well. We don't go back for another 2 weeks and that point we'll start the weekly Non-Stress Tests, too. Its all coming together and its still sinking in that we have hit the 30 weeks mark! Only 4-6 more weeks to go at the most. Can't wait to meet Mason Adam and Hailey Ann - oh the joy!!!

Definitely try to enjoy the last few weeks. Sleep, eat meals, go to the movies. Once the babies are born you will NEVER be alone again! Oh, and take lots of long showers, those will also be a thing of the past. It is all worth it, but there will be days that you miss these things! I can't wait to see your two little babies!

I'm sorry I'm going to miss your shower tomorrow, and I am horrible and didn't send in my regret. I hope you have received your gift by now, if not it's on its way :) have fun tomorrow!
