The doctor told me today I can get off bed rest at 35 weeks which falls the day after Ashton's b-day, but as a reward for me being SO good for 8 weeks (but mostly bc/ I've missed out on so much with my kids), I'm taking myself off of bed rest on her b-day, Monday the 16th. 12 days to go!!! 1 more Monday, 1 more Tuesday, 2 more everything! I'm not to the point that it's after my milk expires (Ashley:), but I'm getting there.
My cervix was the smallest it's ever been at 8, but they don't even care now. The doctor said she wouldn't worry if I delivered tomorrow that I'm in the safe zone now! Unfortunately, Baby A's heart was skipping a beat again, but it was a little better. The doctor said she wasn't at all concerned about it, and his arrithmia wouldn't affect delivery, and they wouldn't rush him off afterwards.
I have been so self-centered and getting excited that I might be off bed rest in 2 weeks that I didn't turn around what that meant- I could have babies in 2 weeks! Did you see the plural ending, not 1 but 2 babies! How in the world did I get here?-Yes Jon, I know, "Please Jon can't we have just 1 more?" etc, etc!
Remember how shocked we were (Jon didn't speak for 2 hours) when Ashton was a girl? Well, you can expect us to both be like that for months bc/ we have no idea what 2 will be like! We're getting smart though. Tonight we were trying to convince Jackson and Ashton how fun it will be to have races and see who can change a diaper faster. They can each have their own baby!!!
So, my mom, Bobby and Tyler have started betting on when we will have them. That sounds fun, so I want you all to leave a comment on my blog with your predictions of when they will be born and how big they will each be. It's really easy to leave a comment, just mark anonymous. It won't come up immediately as I have to approve them 1st (bc/ someone left one in Spanish and I didn't know if it was nice or not!). Maybe there will be a prize like, you get to take the first overnight shift or change the first diaper- just kidding!
Facts: Due date: August 21st Off bedrest: July 16th

July 24 (my anniversary....you can drop off your gift on the way to the hospital). Baby A: 5 lbs 2oz, Baby B: 5 lbs exactly.
July 14th is a nice date for me ;) but I know that is too early. I predict July 22nd and baby A is 6.5 and baby B is 6.9 You see baby A has been burning more energy with his brother sitting on top of him ( thus his heart beat... it is hard always lending brother a hand) And baby b has been taking in all the nutrition while brother is helping him out.
I predict July 28th. I think baby A will be 5.8 lbs and baby B will be 5.4 lbs. I am so happy for ALL of you!!!!!!
July 28, definitely, because this is the day I leave for the beach, so I will miss having those diaper races. Darn it!
Baby A 5 lbs. 8 oz.
Baby B 5 lbs. 13 oz.
If you get off of bed rest, who will you be wearing? Could it be Versache or Calvin Clien? I'm thinking Target.
You will have the babies July 22nd
5lb 3 oz
5lb 1 oz
but I would like for you to have them on August 1st -My Birthday. Let's shoot for that....
Come on Jon... that would be Tar-jay... don't you know???
Hey the 25th is my anniversary... that would be good for me too.
( tomorrow is Brent's birthday... BUT DON"T YOU DARE!!!)
I say July 23. Baby A is 6lb 1oz and Baby B close behind at 5lb 15oz.
Keep up the good work!

I am going for July 21st, that's a busy day for you. Of course, I definitely think they will wait until after Ashton's party...thoughtful boys! Baby A will be 6.9 and Baby B is going to be 6.7. I have no method for figuring it out...strictly a guess!! Keep up your good resting!!! We can't wait to be so close to y'all!!
I think July 29th... My anniversary and I will be back from the beach by then... I definately don't want to miss Jon's face sitting there with his 4 children all around.. I know that he will be speechless!! Baby b: 6 lbs and a: 5 lbs 5 oz

Well, I see a couple of people have chosen July 22nd, our anniversary. (Man! Lots of people got married in July! I thought June was the big month for weddings!) However, I believe they'll come sooner - July 19 - I know, I know, before Ashton's b-day, but that's my guess. I figure once you're off your bedrest it will only be a matter of hours before the babies make their appearances. They'll realize that there is much more to life than lounging on a blue sofa...that life is full of amazing sounds and ups and downs!Prediction: Baby A 5 lbs. 9 oz. and Baby B 5 lbs. 12 oz.
