For the last couple of months the grocery store has become my "social meeting place". It seems like every time I run to the store to grab the essentials I run into someone who wants to talk. These people range from strangers, neighbors, and friends I have not seen in ages. Right before the new year I ran to the store to grab a couple of things and ran into my old friend Evelyn (who now lives back east and was visiting family for the holidays). After that meeting I told her I would update my blog as life has changed for the Daines family since the last post. So friends and family if you know Evelyn you can thank her for calling me to repentance for not blogging in so long.
For everyone that knows me I love deals! Spencer knows that if there is a sale (especially at the grocery store this is my dads doing) I have a hard time not buying mass amounts or something I really don't need. So for the last 7 1/2 months (30 weeks) the saying that has most frequented our home is that we are getting the 2 for 1 deal. The deal we are getting is about 6 weeks is twins! We are so grateful so the opportunity to have children and feel so blessed that we are getting the 2 for 1 deal.
I am due April 2nd but our goal due date is March 6th (this is the day they most likely will not have to spend weeks in the NICU). We are expecting 2 boy, no they are not identical. So far the pregnancy has been going well. The boys are both healthy and have passed all of their test to date. I have a great doctor and he is monitoring me and the kids closely which is a real comfort to Spencer and I. However, it can be really frustrating working with 2 doctors schedules (the ultra sound doctor and my regular OBGYN). The other bad thing is both clinics are at the hospital I will be delivering at. Because of this the hospital has become very familiar to us, which is not the place anyone want to be really familiar with. We have also been so grateful for the love and support our friends and family have given to us during this time. We will do a better job at updating the blog because as my good friend Evelyn reminded me there are friends who love us that want to know what is going on in our life.
The medical world keeps track of multiple by their position in the womb. For us that means until they come they will be refer to as baby A and baby B. These pictures are really old but these are the best pictures we have of the kids. It has been hard to get good pictures even though I get to see them every week because they are just getting to big or they are not turned the right way etc. The first one is baby B and the second one is baby A.
Here is a picture of me today at 30 weeks. I know I am huge so don't fall off of your chair...
